I worked with a psychologist, to discuss my feelings, the situation, the future, etc. After Willi’s death, I continued to see Her and her guidance and help were most valuable to me. To add to the mix of events, my Mom had a massive stroke in June of 2001. After a period of time, She and I felt that I was doing very well and that there was no need to continue any further sessions. However, I expressed to her that I was having many dreams that I recalled in great detail and wanted to further understand their meaning.
Immediately A few days prior to my husband, Willi’s death on April 11, 2001, I contacted the psychologist again and asked for the name of the person I could contact she gave me  Althea”s name. My therapist had great confidence in Althea and told me about her wonderful gifts.
Her enthusiasm and information about Althea was just what I needed, and got me to think about so many things that had occurred around Willi’s death, my Mom’s illness, etc. I was full of questions and was very excited about meeting Althea.

However, despite the recommendation and my enthusiasm, I couldn’t help but wonder if Althea would ask me questions and be able to piece together a story; boy was I wrong.

Upon meeting Althea, I met a wonderful caring person who immediately put me at ease. She merely asked me to fill out a form with my name, address, phone number and why I was there. I told her that I wanted to have an understanding of my dreams and to communicate with the spiritual world.
As the tape began to roll, she knew nothing of Willi’s illness, his death, my Mom, my family, etc.
I am not sure what I expected of Althea, but in retrospect, it wasn’t what happened. She began to speak of a woman who came to her that without a doubt, was my Mom. Althea talked of her illness, her grave future, and her reluctance to let go of life and I was in amazement. Althea relayed to me what she saw, felt, and heard and I in turn spoke to her. with a response. It was truly a conversation and how easy and wonderful it was. Althea spoke of things that only I could know, or only a person that knew Willi, my Mom, my grandparents, and many others could know. She described personality traits, the smell of a pipe, family relationships and the more she said, the more questions I had.
There were, however, two very specific things that occurred that day, that put the final touches on the true gifts of Althea, and forever will I cherish these memories.

Several months prior to Willi’s death, I was drying my hair in our upstairs bathroom and somehow, one of my diamond stud earrings came out of my ear. As they had been a gift from Willi, they meant a great deal to me and we did everything to find that earring, (including taking apart the sink). The earring was never found, and the jeweler made a new one to match. These diamond studs are on my ears almost every day, so it was not unusual for me to have them on the day of my first session with Althea.
At one point during this session, Althea began to chuckle and said, “Willi wants to know if you lost another one of those earrings again or if is this still the same one”. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. No one besides Willi, my Mom, and the jeweler even knew about the earring.

I had placed an item in the casket that was very special to Willi and me. People attending the wake saw the item but did not know who put it there or what it meant. Althea said, “Willi wants you to know that he has the item that you put in the casket for him”. To add to this story, Willi’s granddaughters drew special pictures for their Opa and wanted Opa to have them for his journey. Prior to the arrival of the public, the undertaker asked them if they would like to hide the pictures in a special place that was to be their secret. They did hide the pictures in the casket. Althea told me about the “secret” pictures.

It is now 2006, and I have seen Althea countless times for hypnosis, life coaching, past life regressions, and couples regressions. Because of her insight and abilities, I have dealt with death, life, family, and relationships in a whole new way. I am truly a changed person because of Althea.
