A Biography of a Psychic and Medium: Katherine Hayward

Katherine: A Woman of Vision

by Diane Pomerance

Katherine Sedonia Hayward was a renowned British psychic, medium, and healer. She was a mystic and a visionary who captivated the hearts and minds of millions of people all over the world. At the age of seven, during a critical illness, Katherine had an out-of-the-body experience that forever changed her life: she found herself on another plane of existence, surrounded by “angelic beings” who told her that she had much work to do on earth and she must return to her physical body. Upon awakening, she felt odd, spoke in a full, mature, adult voice and knew the past, the present, and the future.

As she grew to adulthood and learned to embrace her extraordinary gift, Katherine’s Spirit Guides imparted to her vital information about the purpose and meaning of life on earth. They demonstrated physical phenomena and paranormal activity that offered substantial proof that There Is No Death, that Life Is Continuous, and that Humans Are Immortal.
Against the backdrop of World Wars I and II, Katherine traveled around the world teaching that the real “you” is not the mind or the physical body, but the Power that motivates them. She comforted and consoled those who had lost loved ones by communicating with their “dead” family or friends, who gave her specific information to share with them that no one else could possibly have known.Katherine devoted her life to teaching and counseling people from all walks of life, including world leaders and celebrities. She was a remarkable woman who recognized our human potential, and the possibility of co-creating with one another a world of peace, wisdom, kindness, compassion, and beauty.

From the Author

EXCERPT:

Let us once again enter the silence,” advised Gwilym, and within moments the room was filled with an awesome stillness, as each became wholly absorbed in his or her own deeply personal thoughts.

Communications will take place. But it is essential that you are patient. Neither you nor your Spirit Guides can hasten the process. You may not perceive any tangible results for weeks–perhaps even months. Yet you must be diligent, patient, consistent in your efforts . . .” Mr. Fletcher’s words echoed in Katherine’s mind.
Will anything happen tonight? she wondered. Although she could not be absolutely certain, it seemed to her that the ambience of the room had altered dramatically since they had begun. She felt a tingling sensation radiate throughout her face and hands, and a chill ran up and down her spine. It suddenly occurred to her that she and her family were not alone. Although there was no physical sign or evidence of an additional presence, Katherine was convinced that someone or something–she was not sure which–had joined them. It was an unsettling–but not in any way unpleasant–feeling, quite unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Silently, she placed herself in God’s keeping one more time, sincerely hoping that in ignorance, she and the others were not jeopardizing their safety and well-being in any way.

As they continued to meditate in silence, Katherine became increasingly aware of the presence of another being. Although she could not define or describe it, she felt intuitively its benevolent power.

Somehow she was not the least bit frightened. Rather, a wonderful feeling of calmness and peacefulness seemed to settle over her and the entire room now. Opening her eyes briefly, she saw that both her Mum and Dad were comfortably seated and that their expressions were of serenity and contentment. Pleased that all was going well, she closed her eyes once again. Almost immediately, she felt a great surge of energy penetrate her entire being. The feeling was exhilarating, but it was also simultaneously hauntingly, disturbingly familiar–as if she had experienced it before, long ago, in the dim past, but she could not recall when, where, or how.

Celebrating All Of Life With Renewed Significance

Katherine: A Woman of Vision


In the rush of our busy lives today, spiritual connectedness is easy to overlook. Diane Pomerance, Ph.D. was sharply reminded of her significance in the grand scheme of things when she met renowned spiritual teacher Katherine Hayward at the age of 28. Now she’s celebrating the life of the visionary, psychic and healer with the publication of Katherine: A Woman of Vision (Polaire Publishing).

Born in Wales in 1899, living in the UK against the backdrop of World War I and World War II, Katherine Hayward was only seven years old when she had her first out-of-body experience and met “angelic beings.” The angels advised her to return to her physical body; she had much work to do on earth. When she awoke she had acquired gifts with which to accomplish that work. She spoke with a full, mature adult voice, and knew the future, making many predictions including the sinking of the Titanic. She also instinctively knew the truth about people and when they were lying, and the outcome of local and national events, including political elections.

Her predictions were not mere parlor tricks. At the age of 20, along with her husband and parents, Hayward began to communicate with Spirit Beings daily for six months, receiving from them a remarkable body of information about life on earth and witnessing extensive paranormal and psychic phenomena. This led her to further develop her psychic abilities and she began to bring great comfort and solace to many people who had lost loved ones by communicating with those who had passed on and proving to the bereaved that life continues after death.

Even more important, at this point Hayward began to understand and appreciate her life’s purpose as well as the Greater Purpose and meaning of Life and Death. She continued her spiritual journey and traveled all over the world with her message that there is no death, human beings are immortal, and life on earth is a school in which we learn to evolve spiritually. These insights profoundly affected the young Diane Pomerance, Ph.D., who subsequently dedicated her life to animal and environmental welfare and to spiritual research and exploration.

For many years Diane studied and conducted research into various world religions and philosophies ranging from Hinduism and Buddhism, to Spiritualism and Theosophy, Sufi to Subud. A popular speaker, she speaks of the interconnectedness and interdependence of the whole of life. She is an ardent animal lover and advocate who has rescued, rehabilitated and adopted more than 46 dogs over the past decades. Pomerance has authored nine books and is best known for her books about animal companionship, specifically the human-animal bond and grief recovery. Sharing the story of her mentor Katherine Hayward has been a labor of love. For more information, please visit www.drdianepomerance.com.
