ABOUT ANDREA
Thirty years ago, Andrea Courey was a wife and mother of three young children in Montreal, Quebec when she was struck by a car and had an NDE which changed the course of her life. The three decades since Andrea’s NDE have been a journey of self-discovery, marked by psychic aftereffects including spontaneous mediumship, automatic writing, and after-death communication. She has only been sharing her story publicly since her daughter's death and most recently has begun leading Sound Healing Meditations to help others, such as parents who, like her, have lost a child.
ABOUT IANDS (The International Association for Near-Death Studies)
IANDS is a membership nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to advance global understanding of NDEs and related experiences through research, education, and support. We envision a future in which all people embrace near-death and related experiences as a source of meaning and inspiration for a better world. We believe NDEs can transform an individual’s life, influence the sciences, and embolden society. Today, IANDS engages in far more than research and has members from around the world. We invite you to consider becoming a member of IANDS. To learn more about near-death experiences, visit iands.org.

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
