- What is a Christian Science Practitioner?
When a person is in the midst of a crisis or a challenge (be it physical, emotional,
financial, or other) it is sometimes difficult for them to keep their own thought uplifted,
and therefore in harmony with God, divine goodness, the healing Principle that brings
life into harmony and wholeness. A Christian Science Practitioner is a person who has
been trained in using, and is experienced in applying, the spiritual, metaphysical healing
techniques and prayer that were used by the ancient biblical prophets, taught by Jesus,
and explained by Mary Baker Eddy in her primary work, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures.
A practitioner will pray or provide Christian Science Treatment with you, or for you, until
your situation is healed or you are ready to continue treatment yourself by further
uplifting your consciousness on your own. Back to Questions
- What is Christian Science Treatment?
Christian Science treatment is a specific kind of prayer which relies on the healing power
of God. It relies on the Truth of God’s omnipotence and man’s oneness with the perfect
God. This healing power (or Christ) is manifested as one aligns thought with the perfect
Principle that creates and governs all.
When Christian Science treatment is requested, the patient has given permission for the
practitioner to prayerfully treat his or her state of thought. Christian Science treatment
may be requested by the person desiring healing or by someone else on that person’s
behalf if that person has given their consent.
No two treatments are ever the same. The applications of divine Principle are literally
infinite. Every case is unique.
Treatments can be given over the phone, in person, or via written or electronic
correspondence. Healing is through prayer alone, no physical manipulation or
medication is used.
If you are using medications or a special diet in relation to this or any other problem you
are facing, it is suggested that you consider requesting prayer for support, rather than
Christian Science treatment. See the question, “What if I want prayer, but not Christian
Science treatment?” below.
In Christian Science treatment, the patient is in control of their treatment and the patient
determines the length of the treatment, although healing is expected in one treatment.
All communications between the patient and practitioner are entirely confidential.
Back to Questions
- What if I want general prayer, but not Christian Science treatment?
One may prefer to request prayer, rather than Christian Science treatment, if they are
already being treated by the medical establishment or if they are self-treating by using
over-the-counter medication, herbs or diet.
In this case the practitioner prays about the situation rather than for a person. Prayer
about a situation may be requested by anyone and it is not designed to treat any
specific person's state of thought. Back to Questions
- Can I be healed without being seen?
Treatments can be given over the phone, in person, or via written or electronic
correspondence. Healing is through prayer alone, no physical manipulation or
medication is used. Back to Questions
- Who does the healing?
God, the Sustaining Infinite, always does the healing. Back to Questions
- What kinds of things can I ask you to pray about?
If you are concerned about something, you may ask me for Christian Science treatment
or for prayer related to it. I have been asked in the past for help with problems such as
illness, injury, fear, relationship issues, financial issues and emotional issues, as well as
issues of integrity, ethics and fairness. Back to Questions
- What are your study tools?
I use The Holy Bible (usually the King James Version) and the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, together
with other writings by Mary Baker Eddy as the basis of my study, treatment, and prayer.

- Why must I pay?
Payment is a form of gratitude. Giving gratitude for blessings prepares us for more
blessings. Also, this is my full-time job. I am not paid by any church or other
organization for this work. I am most grateful for your payment for the professional
services that I render. Back to Questions
