Helen Louise Wambach, PhD, nee Stewart (18 August 1925 Glen Ellen, Illinois – 18 August 1985 Larkspur, California).
She graduated from University of Chicago during WW II and did graduate studies in psychology at Louisiana State University, working with shell-shocked veterans. She later taught psychology at John F. Kennedy University, California.
In the 1980s Helen launched a group home for troubled teenage girls in New Jersey. Her interest in the paranormal overtook her professional life following the spate of American political assassinations and the death of her only brother. A déjà vu encounter in New Hope, PA finally set her on her path to research and writing on reincarnation.
Her two books, Reliving Past Lives and Life Before Life document the results of her group hypnotherapy sessions into alleged past lives. She co-authored a third book, Dreams of the Future, with historian Chet Snow that was published shortly after her death.
