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 Kay Allen RScP (she/her)
Melissa Kay’s transformative journey was 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, courses, self-help books, 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 If you are stuck in the muck of old patterns and outdated beliefs, there is a path to transformation, there is Good seeking to be revealed, and together we can light the way.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.

She moved to Oregon with her wife and son in 2020, after living in Los Angeles county for the first 50+ years of her life.

Barbara Jennings-Garant, RScP (she/her)
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 lies within me always shows me the way forward.
My passion for the human body and physiology led me to mind-body-spirit well being. 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 part of the pastoral care team and always open for prayer.

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.
Anthony Prichard, RScP (he/him)
I grew up in the Catholic faith and attended Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon. After living in Colorado for half my life, I became increasingly curious about the university-level metaphysical science classes taught at Mile Hi CSL in Denver. I became a licensed practitioner in 2021 and apply these teachings daily to guide my business clients and coaching students toward rapid results. I know I am a more purpose-driven, mindful individual when I tap into the unlimited power of the Divine through visioning and affirmative prayer. I am a firm believer that establishing a practice of silent breathing is even more valuable than a four-year degree.
I am currently accepting new clients for prayer and support on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. https://calendar.app.google/HQUtJTpfZu8srNaT7
Laura Schlafly, RScP (she/her)
I became a member of NTCSL in 2011 and began to learn a completely new spiritual way of being, living and loving. In 2015 I began my 11 years of learning and becoming an NTCLS Practitioner. Ever since I was a child I was enchanted to learn and experience various Asian languages and cultures. I graduated with a BA from Ohio State University in Japanese Studies, and graduated from the University of Michigan with an MBA to set myself up for careers in product marketing and technology sales. This led to taking control of my family’s business for three years, eventually selling it for a profit. Later I created “Life Choices with Laura”, thus giving me a focus on career, life purpose, job searching after 40, and small business support. Other life experiences are divorce, finding friends after moving away and settling into an affordable retirement.
Laura will be available for prayer after Sunday Services, as she is not currently seeing clients.
