Barb-Jennings-Garant-2021A.jpeg

Barbara Jennings-Garant, RScP

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.jpg

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.
