Kirby Wood is a consciousness explorer who enjoys practicing meditation in all forms, an artist who draws inspiration from nature, and a lifelong learner devoted to expanding her consciousness. An experiencer of the paranormal, she embraces the mysteries that lie beyond everyday perception.
In the summer of 2022, Kirby experienced a pivotal UAP sighting that inspired her to begin a daily meditation practice, setting into motion a series of transformative life changes. That journey ultimately led her to the Monroe Institute, where she began to experience meditation in a whole new way. Kirby’s experiences with the Gateway tapes at home, studying the work of Robert Monroe, and during her first residential program at Gateway Voyage in Faber, Virginia, ignited a profound shift in her life.
Kirby, based in Lubbock, Texas, is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and Spiritual Life Coach. She works with preteens, teens, and adults, specializing in trauma therapy and provides affirming care to the LGBTQ+ community. Kirby is driven by a deep passion for helping others return to their authentic selves. She works with individuals who are experiencers of paranormal phenomena such as UAPs and other exceptional experiences. Additionally, she works with people navigating spiritual awakenings and shifts in worldview, empowering them to release limiting beliefs that no longer serve them. She integrates meditation, mindfulness practices, and the exploration of consciousness into her work. Kirby enjoys offering free meditation classes to her local community. Her dedication and love for holding space for others while they expand and explore their consciousness continues to blossom.
