In the latest episode of Hidden Experience, titled “NDEs, and the Power of Love”, podcast host Mike Clelland welcomes Scarlett L. Heinbuch, PhD, to share a profoundly moving story of healing, spiritual connection, and the life-altering power of love.
Scarlett is the author of We Met on the Other Side: A True Love Story, a heartfelt and deeply personal account of a shared near-death experience (SNDE) that changed her life—and saved another. When Scarlett first met David, he was in a coma, gravely ill, and near death. Yet through the mysterious workings of fate and Scarlett’s gifts as a Reiki healer and intuitive, something extraordinary unfolded. During one of her hospital visits, she found herself transported beyond the physical realm, where she encountered David’s spirit waiting for her on “the other side.”
Their meeting in this otherworldly space unlocked a recognition of a bond that transcended time, and as Scarlett describes in her book, it marked the beginning of an extraordinary healing journey. The experience, known as a shared near-death experience, opened Scarlett’s awareness to multiple dimensions of reality and deepened her understanding of how divine love can be a transformative force—not only in physical healing but in the healing of the soul.
In this podcast episode, Mike Clelland and Scarlett Heinbuch explore the rich tapestry of events that surrounded this SNDE and how it reshaped both Scarlett’s and David’s lives. From Scarlett’s early brush with the near-death experience as a child to her later work as a healer, teacher, and writer, the conversation dives deep into the power of love to heal beyond the physical plane.
Listeners will find that Scarlett brings not only academic credentials—holding a PhD in public policy and a master’s in public health—but also lived spiritual experience and compassion into every word she shares. She and David now live in Atlanta, Georgia, dedicating their lives to helping others heal and find meaning, particularly through their advocacy for those in 12-step recovery programs.
Mike describes We Met on the Other Side as “a remarkable near-death experience story—one that will lift your heart.” Scarlett is also described as a powerful psychic and healer who champions the profound and often overlooked role of love as a force that transcends life and death.
Why This Conversation Matters
Near-death experiences (NDEs) continue to intrigue both scientists and spiritual seekers alike. They often lead to transformative realizations, where love, light, and connection are recurring themes. Scarlett’s story and her SNDE provide a rare glimpse into how these experiences not only change the experiencer but ripple outward to affect relationships, healing, and even life purpose.
The conversation between Mike and Scarlett touches on the intersection of spirituality, health, and emotional resilience. It highlights how love—both human and divine—can unlock the impossible, even when medical science sees no hope.
