About Us


Institute for Afterlife Research


The Institute for Afterlife Research (IAR) was founded by Mike Pettigrew and his wife Helen Pfeiffer with the intention of breaking down the wall of fear that surrounds the issues of Death and the Afterlife.

Mike and Helen, for most of their lives have had a fascination with Death and the Afterlife and both have been privileged to have had some remarkable experiences that have proved to them beyond any doubt, the existence of the Afterlife.

They have been fortunate enough to have known a number of people who have also had great experience in this field including well known authors Dannion Brinkley and Bruce Moen.

The Institute for Afterlife Research has an associated organisation The Institute for Afterlife Studies (IAS) which conducts Workshops & Seminars.
