Helen Parry Jones
Helen Parry Jones is a spiritual healer, psychic medium, author and broadcaster. She is based in the United Kingdom from where she offers private consultations, public demonstrations and seminars worldwide.[1]
Career
From school she trained as a dental nurse, but in her early twenties became a professional therapist offering spiritual healing and also medium consultations. She first came to public attention in 1988 in a National newspaper when she predicted her own second marriage.[2][3]
As public interest grew, Parry Jones held her first public demonstration in November 1988 at the Talardy Hotel, St Asaph, to raise funds for Abergele Chest Hospital where her father died. Parry Jones picked out from the audience a police detective associated to missing schoolgirl Anna Humphries and openly explained specifics on how she was murdered, the murderer’s name and where her body would be found. The missing body was found as described days later.[3][4][5][6]
Parry Jones opened her first Healing Centre on Wellington Road, Rhyl in 1991, and moved to Bodelwyddan Castle in 1994, where she opened the UK’s first castle-based holistic consortium.[7]
Parry Jones shot to National fame in Ireland after appearing on the Gay Byrne, Late Late Show on RTÉ1 in March 1996. Her appearance is regularly repeated as another guest on the show, comedian Lenny Henry, started to tease Parry Jones about seeing the Spirit World and immediately his chair disintegrated and the immediate scenery fell on top of him on live TV.[8] After a second appearance in the same year, her appearance beat the ratings of that nights top British soap, 'Coronation Street'.[9] In Ireland she is known as “Helen the Healer”.[1]
Members of the medical profession have capitalised on Parry Jones’ abilities. Dr Terry Lynch explained in a RTÉ television interview that Parry Jones "knew virtually nothing about Kierra, (his patient) .... and yet she described it – (her illness) – as if she had her notes infront of her!"[10]
Parry Jones was offered her own weekly LIVE TALK phone-in radio show, “The Sunday Session with Helen Parry Jones”, in 2011 on Irelands Sunshine Radio 106.3, broadcasting Helen’s special ability to offer spiritual guidance to her ‘callers’.
Parry Jones’ long professional career has been attributed to word of mouth recommendation rather than through high profile publicity campaigns.[11] Independently published comments like “I felt that 80–85% of what she had said to me was accurate. When my mother and other family members heard the tape they were able to fill in some of the gaps and Helen’s accuracy rate rose to about 95%. At worst, she is one hell of a good guesser.” – journalist Eileen Bennett, said to voice her clients sentiments.[12]
Her autobiography of her childhood and early years, “Hands of an Angel”, was published in Ireland in November 2011 by Arrow Books, Random House. The first week it debuted at number 4 in the paperback non-fiction "Best Sellers" chart.[13]
