Practitioners pray with people every Sunday after the Celebration Service, using a technique formally called spiritual mind treatment.
A licensed practitioner undergoes four years of training in the art of this kind of affirmative prayer. It is based on the idea that we live and breathe in Divine Spirit; that we are surrounded by God, filled with God, a loving Presence whose will for us is that we be happy.
With that as the starting point, a treatment powerfully affirms that all is already given to us by our loving Creator. The task for the receiver of this prayer is to learn to accept more good in life. Often you’ll hear Rev. Molly ask, “How good can you stand it?”
Many of our practitioners are available for private sessions as well. Although there is no fee for prayer after service, our practitioners have varying fees for private sessions which run about an hour, to help you get to the heart of the issue and correct it.

Kristen Peairs, RScP
Kristen has over a decade of professional experience in deep listening and healing work, including stretching, teaching, nutrition, massage, non-violent communication, and psychic development. She currently maintains a private practice where she uses all of her skills to support people in feeling more comfortable in in their bodies and their lives. Kristen’s passion is bridging the gap between what a person knows, and doesn’t know, with the goal of creating the exact right path necessary to bring understanding and relief.
A practitioner session with Kristen is like walking on angel wings…you know that you are profoundly loved and supported, even as you can’t see the feathers on which your feet are treading. During a session, you can expect to be deeply heard, accepted, and acknowledged.
“Neither you, nor I, need to know how to solve the problems – that is the job of Spirit. Each session is opened and closed with prayer. The sharing in between is yours. The goal is to allow for the truth of Spirit to bubble up, thereby yielding light, clarity and release for a less encumbered path forward. Allow me to support you on your magical journey!”
