About Dr. Proud

Dr. Terri Proud, Ph.D.
Founder | Educator | Metaphysical Scientist | Consciousness Researcher

Dr. Terri Proud is a lifelong educator, metaphysical science researcher, and the founder of Conscious Pathways Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to exploring human consciousness, spiritual sensitivity, and the mysteries that transcend conventional understanding. With a Ph.D. in Metaphysical Sciences, a BA in Business Administrations, 5 years in Education, and nearly two decades of spiritual exploration, Dr. Proud bridges the scientific, psychological, and metaphysical realms with both clarity and compassion.

She currently teaches middle school science in Nevada, where she incorporates emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and universal values into her classroom. Her professional background includes research on DNA, generational trauma, and human potential, which serves as the foundation of her dissertation and ongoing work with intuitive youth and sensitive adults.

From an early age, Dr. Proud experienced non-ordinary phenomena, including time anomalies, non human experiences, vivid dreams, and intuitive insights. Over the years, she has come to understand these experiences not as symptoms to be pathologized, but as signals of an evolving consciousness. Through both academic study and lived experience, she has learned how to navigate the world as an empath, a visionary, and a grounded truth-seeker.

She founded Conscious Pathways Institute to serve those who have quietly carried extraordinary experiences—starseeds, experiencers, intuitives and those in recovery—who are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed by mainstream systems. Her mission is to offer a safe space, informed research, and public education that validates these stories while advancing human understanding.

Dr. Proud also believes that science and spirit are not opposites, but allies. She collaborates with fellow women researchers on exploratory studies in paranormal phenomena, interdimensional contact, energy fields, and the impact of high-frequency environments on human biology and perception. Her work honors both data and the deep inner knowing that many experiencers carry.

When she’s not teaching, writing, cooking or leading research, Dr. Proud enjoys time with her rescue dog Coby, tending to dreams of building a research and healing facility on her land in Holbrook, Arizona. She’s deeply spiritual, refreshingly honest, and profoundly committed to guiding others toward their highest truths.
