Christian Science Practitioners (CS)
Spiritual treatment and healing
Christian Science practitioners (CS) provide spiritual treatment through prayer that results in healing – the resolution of relationship or financial difficulties, physical cure, and transformed lives. Treatment is based on the Bible and the principles explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Central to this treatment is the idea of one, all-good God, who loves and cares for each of us.

I had the privilege of being brought up as a Christian Scientist and walked to Sunday School every Sunday with my sisters and brothers. My father was a tenor singer and sang solos at church for many years. After exploring other churches in my late teens I discovered Christian Science was for me.
I love its teachings and had a desire to become a practitioner before going to class instruction (a two week course in spiritual healing). I know that Christian Science is the pinnacle – through love for my fellow man.
I love helping people overcome their fears. I have had many wonderful healings and healed many people through prayer.

“I was brought up as a Christian Scientist. Christian Science has been a great support to me thoughout my life, helping me find solutions to business problems, strengthen relationships, heal sickness and help find rewarding employment — and much more. I want to share the freedom that Christian Science brings to my life with others and for that reason I entered into the public practice of Christian Science in 2008 — supporting others, through prayer, in resolution of challenges they may be facing, and encouraging them in understanding their relationship with God.
I am a certified teacher of Christian Science. If you would like to learn more about Christian Science Instruction please click here.”

Working with a Christian Science practitioner
Christian Science practitioners are available full time to help anyone, anywhere, through prayer. They answer questions, too. Feel free to contact a practitioner by phone or email. Many have offices where you can meet and some will also visit people in their homes. Christian Science practitioners are professionals and do charge for the treatment they provide. Each practitioner sets individual rates, so feel free to discuss payment with any practitioner you contact.
