Who is Kathleen?
Hi, I’m Kathleen Magnus, founder of Spirit Baby Sanctuary. As a third-generation spirit baby expert, I help women and couples connect with their spirit babies during pre-conception, pregnancy, and beyond. My journey into this work began after my own fertility challenges led me to embrace spirituality, and I’ve since dedicated my life to guiding others in their spirit baby journeys. I live outside of Chicago with my growing family and am here to help you find the connection you’re seeking.
About the Owner
My Fertility Journey
My fertility journey has been long and transformative. After marrying my husband in 2015, I expected everything to go smoothly, as most things had in my life. In 2017, we started trying to conceive, and we were thrilled to get pregnant right away. But that joy was short-lived—I miscarried soon after. Over the next year, I experienced two more miscarriages, leading to heartbreak and confusion.
In 2018, we conceived again, but during our 20-week anatomy scan, we received devastating news. Our son, Parker Thomas, had a rare genetic disorder and wasn’t expected to survive. Parker was born on March 28, 2019, weighing one pound, and he never took a breath. This was the moment I had my spiritual awakening, where I felt my soul leave my body and witness the moment from above. It was the deepest heartbreak I had ever felt.
Through the grief, I discovered Spirit Babies by Walter Makichen, and it felt like the missing piece. Working with his protégé, Nancy Mae, helped me connect with Parker and other spirit babies who were ready to come into our lives. This experience sparked my journey into spirit baby work, and I’ve since dedicated myself to this calling.
In total, I’ve had 11 pregnancies, each teaching me something profound. Despite the losses, I welcomed my son in 2020, my daughter in 2022, and we are expecting our third child in December 2024. Though out my time working with Nancy Mae I discovered a craft I have for working with other women’s Spirit Babies as she does. Over the past few years I have spent countless hours invoking more and understanding the frequency and personalized touch each spirit baby looks for when deciding to come to have this human experience.
These spirit babies have transformed my life, and their guidance led me to create Spirit Baby Sanctuary, where I help others connect with the souls waiting to come into their lives.

With Gratitude to Nancy Mae
The Mentor Who Shaped My Path
Working with Nancy Mae has been a profound honor, witnessing her transform countless lives, including my own. When I came to her in 2019, I was lost, depressed and in a very dark place, struggling to find meaning after so many devastating experiences. Through our time together, Nancy helped me understand the deeper purpose of my journey, including the loss of my son, and the importance of energetic healing. Her guidance has led me to connect with the spirit baby realm, bringing my own children into this world and helping others do the same— I am forever grateful to her and the light she brings to this world.
