Martin Zoller (b. 1971 in Paris, grew up in Basel, Swiss citizen) has been for about a quarter of a century one of the internationally best-known German-language mediums. He works in four languages – German, English, French and Spanish –, has published seven books over the years, has lived for many years in Bolivia and had his own television show there. He became known to a broad public in 1999 through an unusually well-documented case: with remote viewing he located an aeroplane that had crashed in the Bolivian jungle. A friendly portrait of an unusual, multilingual career.
Origin and early life
Martin Zoller was born in 1971 in Paris and grew up in Basel. Swiss citizenship, Basel as his home, and the early experience of perceiving things others did not see: those are the three biographical preconditions out of which his later profession developed. In interviews and in his books he describes how he experienced the clairsenses – the perception of images, moods, hints beyond the five ordinary senses – more as a burden as a child and increasingly as a professional task in adulthood.
Unlike many European mediums, Zoller did not build his practice in his country of origin but in South America. Bolivia became, over many years, his most important place to live and work. He had his own television show there, built up a large South American clientele, and came into direct contact with the indigenous shamanic tradition – an experience that has flowed into several of his books and into a documentary of its own.

The 1999 Bolivia case
The case that made Zoller internationally known is the localisation of a crashed aeroplane in the Bolivian jungle in 1999. The official search parties had been unable to find the aeroplane for days. Zoller was contacted – as an unusual last resort – and used remote viewing, a structured remote-perception technique developed in the 1970s at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) on behalf of the US military and the CIA in the Stargate program. His indications led to the localisation of the wreck and to the rescue of several survivors. We treat this case in detail in a separate article: Martin Zoller: Using Remote Viewing to Find a Plane Wreck in Bolivia. Here only the headline – the details are there.
His work today
Today Martin Zoller works multilingually with an international clientele. His field of activity comprises several clearly distinguishable building blocks:
- Mediumistic aura analyses and personal consultations. Individual sittings on questions of life, relationships and career, often by telephone or video conference with clients in Europe, North and South America.
- Advisory work for companies, law firms and private individuals. Unlike many mediumistically working people, Zoller is regularly consulted also in business-strategic contexts. In such commissions it is rarely about contact with the deceased and more often about assessments of persons, decision situations and strategic positioning – what is called medial advisory in English usage.
- Coaching seminars and meditation workshops. Multi-day formats, in Europe and in South America.
- Lectures and congresses. Appearances at international consciousness congresses, especially in the German-speaking world.
- Remote Viewing. Zoller is one of the few German-language mediums who systematically practise and teach this technique originating from the Stargate program.
Books, CDs, documentary
Over the years Zoller has published seven books, plus four meditation CDs and a short documentary on shamanism in Bolivia which has received several awards. Important book titles in the German-speaking area (a small, non-exhaustive selection):
- Hellsichtig (Giger Verlag, Altendorf, Switzerland) – his main mediumistic-autobiographical work.
- Das Handbuch der Intuition ("The Handbook of Intuition", Giger Verlag) – a practice-oriented manual in which he describes how one's own perception can be trained.
- Several further titles on prophecies, future predictions, shamanism and mediumistic life; some have also been translated into English, Spanish and Asian languages.
A current overview of his book titles can be found at LovelyBooks and on his own website.
Reach – media, social media, lectures
Zoller is active on YouTube (@zollermartin), Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn, and regularly gives podcast and online interviews. His predictions are widely cited and discussed in German-language alternative media – even if they do not convince everyone. Anyone who wants to form their own picture of his way of working will find on YouTube over two decades of well-accessible material.
On HeavenConnect he is listed under consultant profile Martin (focus: remote viewing – mental seeing across spatial and temporal distance).
In our Knowledge overview you will also find selected video recommendations featuring Martin Zoller – including his piece on grounding, meditation and intuition, and the Swiss Television (SRF) documentary on the Bolivia case.
Languages and cultural bridge
One distinctive feature of Martin Zoller is his linguistic and cultural reach. He advises in German, English, French and Spanish. Through his Bolivian years he has a direct connection to the Latin American shamanic tradition that almost no other German-language working medium can offer at this depth. This bridge – Swiss educated clarity on one side, South American shamanic practice on the other – is his own profile and is unusual in the German-language mediumistic landscape.
What remains
- An unusual international career. Swiss origin, many years in Bolivia, multilingual practice, international clientele from private individuals to companies – that is a profile rarely found in this form in the German-speaking world.
- Remote Viewing as a speciality. Zoller practises and teaches what was researched in the US Stargate program (1972–1995) – a technique whose experimental roots reach back into the academic consciousness research of the late 19th century. Zoller is one of the few voices in the German-speaking world who publicly represents this technique.
- Bolivia case as anchor. The 1999 case is well documented and remains the central public past reference of his career. Our own article documents the case in detail.
- Books for self-reading. Anyone who wants to get to know the subject in writing before a sitting will find in Hellsichtig and Handbuch der Intuition a good entry point.
- Cultural bridge. Zoller's shamanic-Bolivian trace is rare in the German-language mediumship space. Anyone seeking this connection is closer to it with him than with most others.
