Caroline Myss (pronounced mace; born December 2, 1952) is an American author of 10 books and many audio recordings about mysticism and wellness. She is most well known for publishing Anatomy of the Spirit (1996). She also co-published The Creation of Health with Dr C Norman Shealy, MD, former Harvard professor of neurology. Myss describes herself as a medical intuitive and a mystic.[1]

She was on The Oprah Winfrey Show several times including her 2002 appearance.[1] In 2001 she hosted a TV series titled The Journey With Caroline Myss on the Oxygen (TV network), co-owned by Oprah Winfrey,[2][3] exploring the spiritual and psychological roadblocks of life in an intimate workshop setting.[4]

Her work has been criticized by some as being unsubstantiated and pseudoscientific.[5][6] However, other sources suggest that energy medicine can have a place in an integrative approach to health,[7] and while some are skeptical that "our biography becomes our biology",[5]: 538  the concept may have a scientific basis.[8]
