Dr. Natasha Tassell-Matamua

Dr. Natasha Tassell -Matamua had a Near Death Experience aged 18 as she was overcome with a sudden high fever. She remembers travelling through a tunnel, and being met by a being. Natasha had already considered life after death following an experience at her Mother’s deathbed, and these two experiences together have led on to the research that Natasha is doing.

Today, Natasha is a senior lecturer at Massey University, here in New Zealand.  Her research encompasses two primary threads: Indigenous psychology and exceptional human experiences.
