Heidi Jurka experienced intuitive glimmerings as a child that evolved into her becoming a professional psychic by her early 20's. In 1977 she participated in mind-travel Faraday Cage sessions with renowned parapsychologist, author and inventor, Dr. Andrija Puharich. Dubbed one of his "space kids" Heidi was Puharich's assistant and study subject for over two years during important research events such as the Mind Link, and the Patchita Project in Mexico City. She credits telepathy for her escape from the devastating arson fire at his home/lab in 1978. Her lifelong resilience led her to become a fine dining Executive Chef, writer and she continues her energy work practice to this day from her farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
