Alice Saltzman, Ph.D. ,

Author of Stepping Out,
A Story of Hope, Healing and Spiritual Awakening

Alice is an anthropologist who studied spiritual healers and mediums in the US, and traveled to Brazil and the Philippines to investigate psychic surgeons. Earlier research took her to the mountains of Montenegro, Yugoslavia. She has taught college and now lectures and has a Reiki healing practice.
Alice shares greatly in the lives of her three grown children. She and her husband, Arthur, live in Costa Mesa, CA., and operate a research company.

Alice is the daughter of Dr. John H. Gibbon Jr., the renowned surgeon who invented the heart-lung machine and performed the first heart bi-pass surgery. So it was only gradually that she accepted the possibility of alternative healing practices, much less spiritual healing, to treat her own illness. Since modern medicine could not cure her, she reached out to friends and family for love and support, she reach within to find strength, and she reached beyond the physical world to embrace a sense of spiritual peace she had not known before. Alice found fun, amazement, and healing. Now she shares her experiences with incredible honesty in "Stepping Out."
