Biography

International Speaker and New York Times best-selling author Anita Moorjani has been at the apex of spiritual exploration since her astounding Near-Death Experience (NDE) in 2006.

After a 4-year battle with end-stage cancer, Anita fell into a coma and was given days to live. As her doctors gathered to revive her, she had a Near Death Experience (NDE) during which she crossed over into the realm of spirit. While on the other side, Anita was given insight into the true nature of reality and the interconnectedness of all things. She was given the choice to "come back" and upon regaining consciousness, her cancer began to miraculously heal; she was free of countless tumors within weeks.

In 2011, the illuminating story of Anita's journey beyond the veil grabbed the attention of Dr. Wayne Dyer. At Dr. Dyer's encouragement, Anita penned the New York Times Best Seller "Dying to be Me" (2012), which told the story of how conflicting ideologies, fear, and being a people-pleaser created the cancer that caused her NDE. "Dying To Be Me" has since established Anita as the premier NDE expert and has won over millions of hearts. It has been named a Contemporary Classic, a Foreign Language Phenomena (with over 45 translations available), and has sold over two million copies worldwide.

In recent years, Anita's two other books "What if this is Heaven" (2017), and "Sensitive is the New Strong" (2021) have reached significant acclaim. With the knowledge she gained from crossing over, Anita explains how to connect with spirit to find support. Anita's wisdom and poignant story of life and death is also beautifully illustrated in two books for children (and the young at heart): "Love, A Story about who You Truly Are", and "Scaredy Caterpillar." Both books delicately share her message of the importance of self-love, living authentically, and the soul's journey.

Anita's meditation journey CDs both hit the Billboard charts, and she continues to receive recognition for her various contributions to the study of spirituality. As an inspirational speaker, Anita has been a featured guest on The Dr. Oz Show, Fox News, The Today Show, CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Goop, The Epoch Times, the National Geographic Channel, and many others. The Watkins Journal lists Anita among the top 100 of "The World's Most Spiritually Influential Living People" for the 12th consecutive year. She is also the recipient of the New Thought Walden Award for the year 2021. Her TED talk has received over 4 million views.

Anita has dedicated her life to empowering the minds and hearts of people with her story of courage and transformation, inspiring others to embody the highest version of themselves. She travels the world speaking with joy and humor to sold-out audiences who are ready to become empowered, unlock the secrets of the afterlife, channel healing, and live vibrant, unlimited lives.

Born in Singapore to Indian (Sindhi) parents, raised in Hong Kong between the mixed Indian, British and Chinese cultures, Anita now lives in the United States with her husband Danny. Her global influence extends through her YouTube and Social Media channels, online Sanctuary and in-person retreats, urging audiences worldwide to embrace their highest potential, unlock their inner wisdom, heal, love themselves unconditionally, and live fearlessly.
