KM Wehrstein

Karen M Wehrstein, BAA (Journalism) is a journalist, novelist, reincarnation researcher and one of the Psi Encyclopedia’s most prolific writers, also working as an editor.  Her interest in reincarnation dates back to personal experiences both in adulthood and childhood, and she has been a member of the more scientific-minded sector of the online reincarnation community since 2000.  Wehrstein began learning in depth about the work of Dr Ian Stevenson and other academic reincarnation researchers in 2015 and began formally investigating cases in 2016, specializing in adult subjects. To date she has published two papers, a review and a commentary in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research and Zeitschrift für Anomalistik.  In 2022 she founded the International Centre for Reincarnation Research (ICRR), an organization devoted to increasing funding opportunities for reincarnation research and disseminating science-based reincarnation information. Parapsychologist Charles Tart said of Wehrstein: “I think of her as a ‘field explorer,’ as it were, lots of inside perspective on the subject, but also as a leading thinker who really knows this area.”
