Sue Brayne's path into astrology began forty years ago after surviving a light aircraft crash, which set off a lifelong engagement with mortality, consciousness, and the soul's journey. She trained with the Elisabeth Kubler Ross organisation as a Life, Death, and Transition facilitator and holds an MA in the Rhetoric and Rituals of Death from King Alfred's College, Winchester, alongside an MA in Creative Writing from Oxford Brookes. She served as honorary researcher for neuropsychologist Dr Peter Fenwick's End of Life Experience Study, contributing to research on consciousness at the end of life, and has authored several books on death, dying, and the menopause. She has also worked as a Death Cafe facilitator, workshop leader, and mentor, bringing this depth of experience into her astrological consultations.
