Doug Allen, RScP (he/him)
Doug Allen’s spiritual life path began long before he was introduced to New Thought teachings. He instinctively knew that "The Universe takes care of me” and that a higher Good was always possible in any situation. As a comedy writer and performer, Doug’s spiritual practice was expressed in creative flow and co-creation with Spirit. Trust, Joy, and Intuition are at the center of his very being. As an Eagle Scout, Doug is deeply involved with both Cub and Boy Scouts (alongside his two sons), and he is committed to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for personal and spiritual growth for youth and teens, both at The Center and Scouts BSA.
Doug is not currently seeing clients for session work, but he is available after Sunday Services for prayer.
Melissa Allen RScP (she/her)
Melissa’s transformative journey began over ten years ago, spurred by the realization that a deep- seated fear was preventing her from fully embracing all that Life is. This seeking led to various classes and spiritual teachers, and eventually to NTCSL and licensure as a spiritual Practitioner with Centers for Spiritual Living in 2023. As a spiritual companion, Melissa illuminates possibilities to navigate the intricate paths of anxiety, grief, and food addiction, turning personal healing into a guiding light for others. If you are stuck in the muck of old patterns and outdated beliefs, there is a path to transformation, there is Good seeking to be revealed, and together we can light the way.
Areas of focus include self-love, grief, fear transformation, and spiritual growth. Melissa is accepting clients either in-person or virtually.

Barbara Jennings-Garant, RScP (she/her)
I’m Barb Jennings-Garant. Nothing has given me greater joy then being a nurse, raising my daughter, my own spiritual journey, and being in relationship with others. I had a love for helping people navigate their medical situations. Now, I bring that same love to being a spiritual practitioner. I have managed many transitions in my own life and now do it with greater spiritual wisdom knowing that the spiritual truth that l lies within me always shows me the way forward. I want to share that knowledge with others.
My passion for the human body and physiology led me to mind-body-spirit wellbeing. In general, I love helping people manage the transitions and creating opportunities in their lives by anchoring with spiritual principles. Some of the experiences I have navigated included grief after loss, career and success, money and financial freedom, and life after retirement. I am not seeing clients at this time.

Helen Ohm, RScP (she/her)
I’ve been serving as a Practitioner at NTCSL for a decade now. Some 25 years ago, after a dark night of the soul, I had a spiritual awaking which was the beginning of my conversations with Source. And through the years I’ve allowed myself to be transmuted though receptivity to my intuition, classes, books on healing and a continual opening to Who and What I Am … therefore, I am open and receptive to serving you as your Practitioner on your soul journey.
Areas of Focus: General, Health and Self-Love
Helen is accepting clients either in person or virtually.
Laura Schlafly, RScP (she/her)
For most of my adult life I have been fascinated with uncovering one’s life purpose and then figuring out how to live it. Through my search of a new consciousness and way of being, I ultimately discovered my unique self, gifts and talents. It has been said that “our wound is our gift”. This has been true for me and it may be for you as well. My childhood wound was not feeling supported or affirmed. So not surprisingly, my calling as a Religious Science Practitioner with Centers for Spiritual Living is to support others in healing and in being their life purpose. It is my deepest desire to be a way-shower by bringing light to your life in a myriad of ways. As a Practitioner, I listen deeply, guiding my clients to discover their inner power to heal themselves.
I am available for private practitioner sessions.
