Through he’s own personal crisis, struggling with drugs, alcohol and thoughts of ending it all, he was initiated into the journey of self-transformation. He traveled the world and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in search of every healing modality he could. He then turned his pain into purpose and was inspired to create Rythmia, through a powerful encounter with plant medicine he was transformed and liberated him from a lifetime of suffering.

Finally, after years of fruitless therapy sessions and rehab, Gerry was brought back to light through plant medicine and metaphysics.

She received the GPN Top Investigator award in May 2025 for her work in paranormal investigation. She has blogged under the name Burials and Beyond since 2017 and – when not exploring cemeteries or haunted locations – she can usually be found in some dark, dusty corner with a big glass of wine and a good book.She is the author of ‘Begotten’ a neo-Victorian novel set in the fictional county of Duncain, spiritualism impacts an Anglo-Irish family. Following the death of her father, Alice Crofton returns to her family's crumbling house, believing she will settle the estate and leave. But nothing in Duncain ever truly leaves. In her absence, spiritualism has gripped the rural county and charismatic mediums have encroached into the household, setting their sights on Alice's family - and her inheritance. Alice tries to hold on to her family and her sanity as hysteria and hauntings take over all she once knew. Written in gothic and ghost story traditions, Begotten's dark - and sometimes humorous - narrative raises questions about the trustworthiness of one's senses and the very nature of ghosts.
