Tammy Lee Anderson’s life has been profoundly shaped by three near-death experiences—beginning in infancy and later as a young adult. Each experience brought her into the presence of a love so vast and unconditional that it transformed how she sees everything. For more than four decades, Tammy has dedicated her life to healing and spiritual service—as a psychotherapist, physiologist, teacher, and since 2018 a spiritual medium. She walks alongside others through grief, transformation, and awakening. Among other interesting things about Tammy, she was a former Olympic level athlete, she is a 5th degree blackbelt and teacher in Aikido martial arts, and she lived as a monastic. Her new book, Into Love: A Journey of Near-Death and Surrendering into Love, shares how these experiences invited her into a life of profound surrender—remembering that the door has always been within, and the key has always been love.
