Auriel Wyndham (Livezey) gained an international perspective in her mid-teens, being introduced to other cultures and languages, when her family moved abroad from her native country of Australia. In addition to Australia, her education took place in Canada, Europe and the United States. She has made her home in Southern California since 1963. Auriel took part in photographic modeling, and some commercial film work, during her youth in Sydney. She worked in the banking industry in Toronto, London and Minneapolis. Her time in London also included runway modeling for a fashion house that sold to worldwide buyers. With a deep interest in and love of spiritual matters, Auriel’s desire to aid others through the means of spiritual healing propelled her, while still a young mother, into this work for over four decades. During that time, Auriel wrote articles and gave inspirational talks to audiences ranging in number from 15 to 5,000. Her second marriage was to Glen Livezey, who was likewise engaged in a healing practice and who had lectured in many countries on that subject. Since his passing in 1993, Auriel has devoted the preponderance of her time to writing, publishing, speaking engagements, and the running of Mountaintop Publishing. She has written a number of books and two musicals.
