IANDS Healthcare Professionals Group

The group will primarily focus on the near-death experience, and/or other related spiritually transformative experiences, and include those who are practicing professionally in the healthcare field – physicians, surgeons, nurses, counselors, therapists,  child psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, related support workers, caregivers, health and wellness coaches, and patients with chronic disease or cancer, but is open to all with an interest to learn and understand more deeply.

The IANDS Healthcare Professionals Group will focus on exploring near-death experiences, end-of-life journeys, and other related spiritually transformative experiences. While rooted in healthcare contexts, this group welcomes a broad spectrum of perspectives and experiences that touch the mystery, meaning, and transformation often encountered through illness, dying, and other profound thresholds of human experience.

This group welcomes professionals practicing in the healthcare and healing fields, including physicians, nurses, surgeons, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, clergy, spiritual care providers, chaplains, pastoral counselors, personal support workers, and health and wellness practitioners. It also includes patients living with chronic illness, as well as caregivers and others with lived experience. Participation is not limited to professionals; all who are drawn to or have an interest in this subject matter are warmly invited to join.

Date & time: Monthly / last Friday of each month / 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM EST

Group Description: The IANDS Healthcare Professionals Group is intended to bring together practitioners from across the spectrum of healthcare, local, national, and internationally, in the spirit of IANDS sharing groups.  This monthly gathering offers a welcoming space for healthcare professionals and those with lived experience to explore near-death, end-of-life, and other spiritually transformative experiences.  Sessions will serve both as a platform for personal and professional sharing and as an educational forum.  Occasional guest speakers will introduce topics related to emotional and spiritual intelligence, while discussions will also emphasize the interconnection of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.  Each month will feature a themed topic, with relevant research articles, clinical insights, and perspectives from both science and spirit to support integrative understanding.

We commit to respecting all who attend this group, knowing each person holds their perspectives and beliefs.  To ensure a respectful and supportive environment, all participants are asked to honor confidentiality and practice compassionate, nonjudgmental listening.  This group is committed to fostering a safe space for authentic dialogue, reflections, and connection.

Following Dr. Keyaunoosh Kassauei’s studies as an International Medical Graduate (IMG) and completing a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, her trajectory shifted gradually after her own near-death experience (2006) toward coaching in healthcare and leadership. As the founder of “My Conscious Coaching,” a non-profit, and active fellow at the Institute of Coaching at Harvard/McLean Hospital, she supports and mentors other professionals in the healthcare field.

About the facilitators

M.K. “Kathy” McDaniel – Facilitator

Kathy is the author of “Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat: Lessons from a Dark Near-Death Experience and How to Avoid Hell in the Afterlife.”

Placed on a ventilator for lung failure in 1999, M.K. McDaniel fought for her life in a drug-induced coma for three weeks. Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat is a memoir of M.K.’s experiences before, during, and after a Dark Near-Death Experience. Her family waited and prayed, totally unaware of the horrors M.K. was bravely facing and miserably enduring in a seemingly eternal hell, culminating in her eventual glimpse of heaven and chat with her deceased fiancé. But M.K. still had work to do on Earth. During her lengthy recovery, as M.K. reflected on the purpose of her experiences in the Afterlife, she recalled the tribulations of her family ancestors and their courage to survive. If they could overcome their overwhelming obstacles, then so could she. As memories of former earthly hellish traumas surfaced and seemed to parallel her actual hell experiences, M.K. sought out others with the same story. She eventually found solace, hope, and understanding at the International Association of Near-Death Studies meetings in Seattle. IANDS offered insights, camaraderie, and joy she had nearly forgotten to be possible in this life. Uplifting, humorous, chilling, and engrossing, Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat takes the reader by the hand to safely explore our human and otherworldly selves. Its gentle message will help the reader find their way along the bumpy, earthly road to eternity.

Daniel Endy – C0-facilitator

Daniel has been a spiritual seeker and researcher for over 50 years. In his early teens, he decided that the religious dogma he had been taught made no sense and he became what he calls a spiritual independent. Daniel felt that if there truly was a Creator and a spiritual reality beyond the physical world, it had to make rational sense. His studies have covered a very wide range of teachings, experiences, and publications.

Daniel has a particular interest in spirituality and all transformative experiences including NDEs, the works of Emmanuel Swedenborg, and distressing spiritual experiences. He is a member of the IANDS board of directors and is very active with the IANDS Sharing Groups and Events.
