Bridging science with the awakening soul


I am Siri K. Zemel, PhD, an independent researcher, consultant, and author of GUIDED. I investigate and normalize spiritual awakenings and the sacred mysteries of human consciousness.

Holding a doctorate in mind-body medicine, I spent fifteen years as a behavioral healthcare executive before my own life took an unexpected turn into the mystical. Today, my work is dedicated to investigating and normalizing these profound spiritual shifts.

As an active researcher, my current studies focus on non-religious glossolalia (often known as light language or speaking in tongues). I also recently co-authored the first standardized Code of Ethics for Mediums and Channelers, with peer-reviewed publications in Explore and the Journal of Parapsychology. As an advocate for integrative healing, I have had the honor of presenting at institutions like Harvard Divinity School and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

In my book, Guided: Journey into the Unknown to Awaken the Soul and Live in Truth, I chronicle my personal transition from a deeply rational professional to a spiritual channeler.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, I continue to write, research, consult, and guide others through the beautiful, often-perplexing journey of spiritual awakening.
