About Janet

I grew up in Connecticut, went to college in North Carolina, moved to LA, got my MBA, became a single parent, started my own business and settled into my life. On the outside, it seemed like I was handling life well but underneath I was just coping. This did not feel good so I continually looked for ways to help myself. I went to therapy and I went to therapy and I went to therapy. It still wasn’t enough. So… I went to my hairdresser. And he gave me the phone number of a psychic reader, Joan Culpepper.

After the first reading I had from Joan with the Higher Self information, my life took a radical shift for the better. She introduced me to a new path of expanded Consciousness. For the next four years in the mid 80’s until Joan moved away, I absorbed the 5th Dimensional Higher Self information that Joan brought forward in her workshops, groups and readings. The knowledge of how each of us creates our outer reality - literally the why and how all things good and bad happen to us - and the realization that nothing is random were gifts from the Highest Level.  

Once armed with this information as well as with the tools the Higher Selves provided, I had the power to burn away the misunderstandings that held me prisoner. I neutralized the layers of self-doubt, low self-esteem, chronic anxiety, insomnia, and emotional drama. This allowed me to discover and develop who I truly am. I found I am capable, giving, grounded, creative, and that I have true worth. I wish to share with everyone both the Higher Self information and the process involved with self-empowerment.

More information about me is included in my blogs and in my books. I personalize what I write so you can see it from an individual experience. I am part of the human condition but thanks to the Higher Selves I am no longer stuck in misery/frustration/fear. I am a work in progress and immensely joyful. Please join me on this exciting journey!

About Joan

Joan was born in Tennessee and was raised with a Fundamentalist background. While there were aspects of the church that carried goodness and hope, she found she still had more questions than answers and went in search of meaning that had eluded her. In addition, Joan felt like the black sheep in her family. With that came a sense of isolation and separation. She felt different and was struggling to understand.

In 1966, at the age of 31, Joan moved to the Los Angeles area. It was there she found a community of people who were exploring other philosophies and spiritual ideas. She felt like she’d come “home”. This open environment helped her understand and appreciate the psychic experiences she had been undergoing since childhood.

Joan considered herself a “conscious spiritual seeker” pursuing alternative ways of looking at the universe and her place in it. She described herself in this discovery process as “a true metaphysical groupie”. However, over time, she became disillusioned with many of the teachers she encountered.

Born from this frustration came the decision to take responsibility for her own information by looking within. Joan started out using Tarot cards and her abilities as a psychic grew to the point where she was able to make a living doing readings. In a relatively short time, her reputation spread and she developed a large clientele. Then in the mid 70’s, Joan began to bring in a very different kind of information that opened up a whole new world.

She would describe the source of the information as the Higher Selves – 5th Dimensional Soul Aspects. Her process of getting the information was not the traditional “channeling” often done by mediums nor was it a form of psychic vision. Joan was able to move her “consciousness” into the higher frequency of the 5th Dimension and hear the Higher Selves with great precision. This information carried life altering potential.

Joan never courted publicity although there were many opportunities. She believed that those who needed to work with her would “find her”. Joan preferred to work one on one with people rather than to take the more visible path to fame, keeping her group small and relatively local. However, she clearly recognized the immense value of the Higher Selves information and diligently recorded every group and reading she ever gave.

In the mid 1990’s Joan “retired” from her spiritual work and became a full-time grandmother to her daughter’s twin girls. During the latter part of this period, she had many conversations with Janet Richmond outlining plans to do a Higher Self blog and to write a book together. Joan felt it was essential that the Higher Self information be shared with the world.  She died unexpectedly in 2006 before the work left the planning stages. However, her daughter agreed that Janet should move forward with the projects on her own. Joan is now working for the humanities from the other side.
