If her unusual gifts, experiences and healing abilities – including being a spirit walker, ancestral empath and medical intuitive – sound like a TV show, that’s because they just might be turned into one soon. Having already helped thousands of people see things in a new light – or through a different dimension – Laura Aversano wants to educate the public on how we can heal ourselves and connect to our past, as well as each other, through a larger platform. Already a star in the spirit world, Laura, who has been tapping into the spiritual realm for 30 years, had her first book accepted by a major publisher at just 29 years old and has plenty of stories to share which even for her, never fall short of amazing.
A published author of numerous books which expand on her spiritual and mystical gifts, for Aversano, having supernatural feelings runs in the family. Hailing from a long lineage of seers, she has learned to fine tune her talents and has helped thousands of people from all over the world. Though being able to communicate with souls at only four or five years old might confuse some parents, Laura’s mom knew that having these paranormal abilities just meant that her daughter was about to figure out her own path within the spirit world.
Let’s just say that her playground talk was also more spirits than superheroes. “Sometimes I would be sitting on my bed and I didn’t always understand myself what I was seeing, but my mother knew, and she nurtured it,” said Laura. As if talking about prior incarnations she had lived through wasn’t enough, she would start randomly talking about Edgar Cayce, a famed clairvoyant who passed away over half a century ago – at six years old – something which still even gives her the chills.
Laura, who helps clients overcome certain medical or psychological issues with her otherworldly wisdom, as well as vast knowledge of plants and supplements, recalls how her mother used to have visions of the Holy Mother appearing at her footbed. “She used to think they were just dreams and would walk the streets of Sicily saying prayers and people would follow her,” she said.
It wasn’t until she was about 19 years old when her mother took her to her first healer, or shaman, that she was told just how gifted she really was. She had just returned home with a mysterious illness following her time at an international studies program in Europe and was hospitalized as no one could figure out what was wrong. Aside from getting to the root of the malady, the healer suggested she find appropriate schools of study to help shape her unique abilities.
The author of The Divine Nature of Plants and Plant Spirit Journey, as well as Affirmations of the Light in Times of Darkness, Laura did indeed take the time to hone her skills. While most of us hardly notice people passing by us, for this empath, it’s not uncommon for her to sense other people’s illnesses coming through her body, as well as which vitamins and food they need to get better. “I would see spirits around them and messages and it was overwhelming sometimes seeing too much,” she said.
Her powers have indeed grown throughout the years, but that doesn’t mean that her abilities don’t come with consequences. She has seen all kinds of spirits, but has learned to structure boundaries to deal with them all safely.
“My Catholic priest heard about me and said either you’re crazy or you’re the real thing. He looked at my face and said ‘you need more protection’.” Working with her mentors, she has learned various methods, including how to detach.
Over the years, Laura’s practice has mostly evolved by word of mouth – to seven different countries. She is now even working with grandchildren of clients who came to her decades ago, mostly communicating with everyone over the phone.
Laura, who believes her religious, spiritual and mystical beliefs and gifts and are tied together, wrote the book Spirit Walker to delve deeper into what that actually means.
“Many people believe a world is happening around us we cannot see or feel. I want to teach others how there are parallel realms above and beyond what we can see that impact our spiritual health through epigenetics. We define fate differently than the spirit world – I’m not this “New Age” version of spirituality. I’m the real deal.”
She also wants you to know that patterns are transgenerational and how we treat each other and the choices we make in our relationships can have an impact on future generations. “That is my understanding of karma,” she said.
Using her ancestral empath abilities, along with her knowledge of epigenetics, she is able to connect past traumas and spiritual attachments to certain events or diseases that might arise in someone’s life. She especially pays close attention to patterns.
“There is a myriad of reasons why things happen, so it’s always important to try to find contributing factors. I had a case where someone with ALS came to me and I just kept looking back in shock until the client informed me of how when she was six years old and tasked with watching her sister, she turned his head for a split second and her sister was run over with a car. So, we have to look at how trauma influences our bodies response to things.”
When speaking with clients, in fact, she goes into parallel realities. “I’m one foot here and one foot there.”
Even now, she is still amazed at some of the things she has seen through her gifts, including how she has communicated with those deep in a coma and even babies in utero. “I love when parents years later tell me how much of what I told them before their child was even born turned out to be true.” Whether their spirits are stuck, they want clarity on relationship issues, or are sick and aren’t getting properly diagnosed, Laura’s clients have gotten spiritual guidance in ways that most of us will never understand. Her talents also extend to communicating with pets.
“Can you imagine a show where people are able to see firsthand how there is so much out there that we don’t even know about and yet it is crucial to helping us live our best life and overcome generational traumas?”
Regardless, of her own feelings or what she sees, Laura has to remain neutral in her space, because she knows herself there is no telling what might be revealed to her. She has also helped people of all different traditions. “I had a Native American man say to me once you’re scary, but in a good way.”
This spiritual force also reflects on some of the more humorous parts of her gifts.
“Before going on a date once, a spirit came and said ‘this isn’t going to work,’ and I said even though I know that, I’m allowed to have a life, please go,” she joked.
As an expert on earth medicine, she is always connected to nature wherever she goes.
“One time I was in Central Park near an oak tree and I couldn’t breathe and I looked around and realized there were all these cigarette butts around so I just said ‘I’m so sorry.’ It’s devastating how we care for Mother Nature.”
According to Laura, the easiest way to achieve some sort of connection in our everyday life is to perform acts of kindness and service. “It doesn’t take much to be nice to each other, or give a compliment, and not because you have to, but because you mean it. Be present in the moment and understand the concept of gratitude, even if that means saying thank you God in whatever religion you practice. I write posts about this often.”
Laura is now a regular in-demand guest on national podcasts and is working with the twice-nominated Emmy producer Sam Sokolow who hopes to turn her life’s stories into a TV show – and there is certainly no shortage of stories. Aside from giving others a glimpse into her gifts and how she is able to tap into something most of us can’t even fathom, she also wants to teach people more about what she does and how we can all connect to this world in our own way.
