Delphi Founders, Directors, & Staff
For many years it had been a dream of Patricia Hayes and Marshall Smith to use their extensive experience, knowledge and research in intuitive and spiritual development, spiritual psychotherapy and metaphysical healing to develop a structured system of study combining intuitive and spiritual training with holistic regeneration and healing for personal transformation.
This dream has been fulfilled by the formation of Delphi University which has a curriculum based upon sound energy and psycho-spiritual principles, and provides the expertise and the accompanying certifications and degrees upon completion. The programs of study demonstrate the applicability and viability of combining intuitive training, psycho-spiritual therapies, and metaphysical healing and wisdom into a highly effective system of holistic healing, spiritual understanding, and personal empowerment. Using the most innovative methods and experiential training, Delphi students and graduates are able to begin their own private practices as Healers, Readers, Therapists, Counselors, Life Coaches, and Holistic Practitioners.
Patricia Hayes founded the Patricia Hayes School of Healing and Metaphysics in 1964 and has educated thousands of students worldwide in the areas of Intuitive and Spiritual Development, Energy Healing, Transpersonal Psychology, Metaphysics, Ancient Mystery Teachings, and Alternative and Complementary Medical Therapies. In 1974, under the guidance and direction of Spirit, and with her husband Marshall Smith, she founded Delphi University, and in 1984 she founded the RoHun™ Institute. Delphi University has certified Practitioners, Therapists, Masters, and Doctors of Healing practicing in over 20 different countries. Patricia is an international speaker, lecturer, teacher, and author who has appeared on many major television programs including Current Affair, Unsolved Mysteries, Unexplained Mysteries and Strange Universe. She also headed the psychic investigation of the Queen Mary, and she is the author of six books: “Intuitive and Spiritual Development”, “Know Yourself”, “How to Conduct a Séance”, “The Gatekeeper”, “The Extension of Life” which she co-authored with her husband, Marshall Smith, “The Adventures of Prince Abba and Magi Patiput”, “What is RoHun™, and her Entura Spiritual Art masterpiece “Light from the Heavens”. Marshall Smith is the author of Spiritual Anatomy I and II, which have become the bible and sourcebook of Spiritual Anatomy, the Human Energy System, and the evolution of the human/spiritual physiology.

His love and life’s interest was dedicated to the study of Spiritual Anatomy, and he has passed on his wonderful teachings, wisdom, and insight to us. Marshall is currently collaborating with Patricia on a book about life after life on the higher planes, a cutting-edge treatise and spiritual study of what actually occurs on the human journey, and how one can best manage life transition.
