Transpersonal Psycho-spiritual Healing—Parenting Coach—Macrobiotic Cooking Classes

Christy founded The Christopher Center of Healing after living through breast cancer. A healthcare administrator and energy worker for 25 years Christy holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing, a master's degree in community health administration, and became a licensed minister with the Lorian Association in 2011. She is highly intuitive and a Reiki Master in the Usui System of Natural Healing. Using illness as a metaphor for life and a message that transformation was necessary she chose to not have surgery for her cancer and instead pursued a path of inner work and outer changes that included a radical change in her nutrition, deep emotional work that uncovered a past of abuse, and selective use of innovative western medical treatments. She is alive and well today because she is highly skilled in connecting to the spiritual essence that guided her through to wellness. "I am dedicated to using my clear inner guidance to facilitate powerful healing experiences for adults and children. Having healed my own cancer by following my deep inner guidance I understand the power and the challenge of becoming well." Her unique set of skills--a highly developed ability to access intuitive inner knowing coupled with a professional healthcare background--allows her to be a strong catalyst for people’s healing.

Christy is a deeply sensitive and intuitive healer. Utilizing interactive inner guidance, relaxation techniques, and intuitive knowing she leads people into and through emotional and energetic blocks to healing. Each session is a new discovery. In a healing session with Christy issues from the past many times surface and are cleared. Clarity about decisions is often revealed. Self doubts and shame can find resolution. Sometimes emotional pain is released, physical pain removed and self-acceptance occurs. Often a deep experience of love ensues. The healing sessions are always nurturing and relaxing. Intuitive guided imagery does not require an ability to see images in one’s mind, but rather only a desire to look at the underlying messages and insights that illness offers. Her ability to access and trust inner guidance has been described as “profound and inspiring!” Christy also teaches inner guidance meditation and whole foods cooking classes as a way for people to learn life skills that support creating health and well-being.

Her formal education includes a BS degree in nursing from The Oregon Health Sciences University (1975) and a MS in health administration/nursing from University of Portland (1984). In the late seventies Christy began her study of energy healing and in 1980 was initiated into Reiki by Hawaya Takata, the Grand Master of The Usui System of Reiki Healing who brought Reiki to the United States. Christy pursued her second degree initiation with Patricia Ewing a Reiki Master trained by Takata and has been a Reiki practitioner for over 25 years being initiated as a Reiki Master by current Grand Master Phyllis Furomoto in 1993. During those years Christy also studied Visual Prayer with James Craig Ewing, trained with The Academy of Guided Imagery, has studied with Dorothy Maclean and David Spangler, and learned a variety of meditation and healing techniques from many sources.

Christy’s training also includes her own healing journeys. In the early 1980s she was able to heal her seasonal allergies and an ovarian cyst by following her inner guidance and looking at the underlying reasons and messages of the conditions. In 1996 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and again took on the inner journey of exploring the lessons and gifts this disease offered her. Now cancer free she continues to invite life to be her teacher and conduit for spiritual growth. She has been a school nurse, a wellness/stress management consultant, healthcare administrator, organizational development consultant, parenting coach, mother, and healer.

“Your class was a lot of fun and it took some of the intimidation factor out of Macrobiotic cooking ;)  It always seemed so overwhelming to balance everything out.  You were also able to answer a lot of questions I've had for such a long time.  Reading things in books is much different than a conversation.” David S. 11/07
