After 28 years of working as a licensed counselor and 35 years serving in local church communities, I shifted my counseling practice to serving leaders.

The pandemic started a mental health crisis throughout the world. We saw it in our counseling office, and the leaders I worked with saw it in their ministries and congregations. They were struggling with knowing how to handle some of the crises people brought to them, and were seeing some people remain in unhealthy patterns or choices even after lengthy and in-depth prayer ministry. 

I realized that these leaders were effectively doing what I do, but had been trained very differently. They were well-versed and effective in applying spiritual tools to their community, but lacking in the brain/body education I received that was the reason some of the people they ministered to were staying stuck. 

This training program was birthed to fill in that gap, and to equip and empower faith-based leaders even more in the area of healing. When we understand the complex body and brain God designed in us, and pair it with the spiritual tools, the counsel and healing we can provide to people is life-changing.
