Joyce Benedict graduated from Syracuse University with intentions of studying Art in Italy. Destiny had other plans. Following two marriages, raising sons on her own, she embarked on a life-long study of alternative healing methods that included nutrition, prayer, body work, homeopathy, acupuncture, faith healers and miraculous healings.
In time she experienced a few through her healing work. Following her freshman year in college, Joyce had an unusual precognitive dream that lead her into a totally new direction of study of mediums, psychics, dreams and visions where she soon discovered her own paranormal gifts. These studies brought her to investigate Reincarnation. She learned a technique that opened unusual memories of past lives for clients, bringing about healings and understanding of current, difficult situations. Precognitive dreams continued. An outstanding one was that of the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy told to four persons three days prior the event. Her studies eventually led her to creating courses taught at area community colleges and high schools in the adult education programs. S.T.A.R (Service Through Awareness and Research) was created as an avenue to utilize her talents and experiences. She has been published in regional magazines including Dell Horoscope and Fate. Today Joyce enjoys gardening, writing, reading. The study of life’s mysteries continues.
