About Margaret McElroy

Born in Nottingham, England in 1946, Margaret migrated to Australia in 1974. The mother of two children and grandmother of six grandchildren did not open the door to her spiritual path until 1982, when she lived in Redcliffe, Queensland. “I wish I could say I saw people at the end of the bed, or heard voices, but I did not; I was a late psychic bloomer.” Margaret says. After her training in her mid-thirties, Margaret became highly sought after for her accurate readings and her teaching. In 1991, Margaret was asked to write a column for the the Maryborough Chronicle newspaper in Queensland. It was the start of Margaret’s highly public career.

With the breakdown of her marriage in 1992, Margaret decided to go to New Zealand for a four-month tour of the country. In New Zealand Margaret soon became very popular and in demand. In 1993 after securing a weekly newspaper column with the Taupo Times, she was asked to become a radio clairvoyant. She became very successful on Radio Geyserland in Rotorua and Radio Lakeland in Taupo. The two stations combined to broadcast Margaret’s show, which was extremely popular. That same year the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly sent a reporter to her for a reading. Margaret did not know that the client was a reporter, but her highly accurate reading was featured in a large story in the magazine. This story brought in thousands of letters asking for Margaret’s help, and she was asked to become the clairvoyant columnist for the magazine. She wrote this column from 1993 until 1996. In 1994 Margaret was also offered a 30-minute radio show on Radio Pacific and its subsidiaries, covering 27 radio stations around New Zealand.

In 1996 Margaret traveled to the USA for a holiday. It was here that she made the decision to change direction and concentrate on her teaching. During that year, in meditation she was given her highly successful Master of Metaphysics course. She returned home to New Zealand at the end of 1996. During the next four years, Margaret was again on radio, this time with Radio Fifeshire in Nelson, and on relocating to Taupo, on Kiss FM and Radio Lakeland.

Margaret has been featured in the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, Rainbow News magazine, HER Business magazine, and many other newspapers and periodicals. She has written columns for the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, Taupo Times, Taradale Times, and for Insight Magazine in Australia.

In June 1998, Margaret was asked by a large spiritual group within the United Nations in New York, The Society for Enlightenment and Transformation, to speak in trance channel to their group. This is a large group consisting of many diverse people from within the United Nations, ranging from Kofi Annan’s Secretary to the door man, and to be asked to address this group of many important people was a very special honor. Margaret addressed them on June 8, 1999. Margaret said this was one of the highlights of her career, and a few months later, she was informed that the speech she gave was deemed to be the best ever to be held at the United Nations group.

At the end of 1999, those she worked with in the world of spirit informed Margaret that she was to return to Australia and become more public. In early 2000 she was offered a monthly column with Insight Magazine, one of Australia’s leading spiritual magazines, and continued her column until April 2001.

In 2004 Margaret met Alan McElroy when he attended her courses in Australia, and in July, 2005 they were married. Alan is also a trance channel and healer.

Margaret now lives in Issaquah, WA, USA, where she operates the Margaret M Center for Intuitive Arts. The Maitreya-edu.org website which she founded with her spiritual mentor and teacher, Maitreya, is one of the most successful spiritual websites on the Internet. The site currently has a viewing audience from over 130 countries around the world and is growing each day with those who are searching for metaphysical information. “There has never been such a thirst for metaphysical knowledge.” Margaret says.
