Caroline Myss earned her B.A. in Journalism in 1974, her M.A. in Theology in 1979, and her Ph.D. in Energy Medicine in 1996. She is the author of the national best-seller, Anatomy of the Spirit, and with Norman Shealy, M.D., the coauthor of The Creation of Health: Merging Traditional Medicine with Intuitive Diagnosis. Her audiotapes from Sounds True include Why People Don't Heal and Energy Anatomy.

She has also released a videotape, Energy Anatomy and Self-Diagnosis. In 1994 she stopped giving private medical intuitive readings (which Harvard-trained neurosurgeon C. Norman Shealy estimated to be 93% accurate), opting instead to deliver her message to a wider audience through lectures and workshops. Within two years her workshops grew to the point that each averaged about 1,000 people.

Her schedule is booked two years in advance. A prominent figure in holistic consciousness, she lives in Oak Park, Illinois.
