Kay Parker  — 77, Birmingham

Kay Taylor Parker works as a metaphysical counselor in 2021, which is a fancy way of saying that she believes in reincarnation. On page 44 of her autobiography “Taboo: Sacred, Don’t Touch” she has incarnated 182 times. The universe sure is mysterious!

Given a closer look, she does not seem so ridiculous. She, like most therapists, believes that probing one’s past helps to unearth patterns that lead to conflict in your relationships, and her method tries to lead you back to a sense of heart. Here, she believes, is where she can help others come back to a sense of themselves.
