Sylvia Browne was born in "the heart of the Bible Belt" (Kansas City, Missouri) and is the older of two daughters. Her psychic gifts developed quickly; at the tender age of three, she saw the deaths of both of her great-grandmothers. Sylvia Browne was simply terrified by this, but fortunately Sylvia had her Grandma Ada to turn to. Grandma Ada also had psychic abilities and understood her granddaughter even better than she could know. Grandma Ada explained to Sylvia Browne that she was a psychic medium and that God gave her these gifts to help people. At the time, Sylvia had responded that these gifts scared her, and that she didn't want them. Her Grandma Ada only smiled a knowing smile. Sylvia Browne developed a love for world religions at an early age, with a household that encompassed Jewish, Episcopalian, Catholic and Lutheran beliefs.

Sylvia Browne's psychic abilities continued to grow as she did. At seven years of age, Sylvia Browne met her Spirit Guide Francine. Francine said, "I come from God. I am here to guide and protect you, and you don't have to be afraid." While Sylvia was scared at first, after another talk with Grandma Ada, Sylvia Browne learned that Francine was a trusted companion, advisor and life-long friend. To this day, Sylvia Browne refers to Francine at many of her lectures, seminars and in her books.

As an adult, Sylvia Browne started a school to teach about spiritual subjects. Sylvia Browne is a trained hypnotist and a highly-skilled trance medium. In 1974, she started The Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research, today it is known as The Sylvia Browne Corporation. Classes grew larger and larger and what started in her tiny living room soon moved to a storefront location.

In 1986, Sylvia Browne founded the Society of Novus Spiritus, a church located in Campbell, California. The Christian Gnostic beliefs include rejecting guilt, sin and retribution. It is a Gnostic Christian church. Sylvia Browne creates special materials used specifically for the church.

Sylvia Browne is continuing her legacy by working with her son, psychic Chris Dufresne. Chris now also offers private readings. Sylvia Browne's amazing psychic gifts appear also in Chris Dufresne's young daughter, Angeline. Sylvia Browne is still accessible to those that love her—as she continues to do private readings when so many at her level do not offer them.
