Practioner support

The word practioner may be new to you...

...and it simply means that these designated people are high-level practicers of the Science of Mind principles.

Spiritual Practitioners are prayer partners who provide loving and prayerful support to assist you in solving problems and experiencing greater good in your life. They work to help you understand your challenge and its cause, and then, through the use of spiritual principles, meditation, visioning, and affirmative prayer, spiritual laws are set in motion to resolve your issue and help make positive changes in your life.

Having participated in extensive training to develop themselves into being Consciousness On Demand, practitioners are licensed to practice professionally by Centers for Spiritual Living and skilled in using Science of Mind principles and especially Affirmative Prayer. This requires a minimum of three years of class work and practice having actively demonstrated their understanding of New Thought principles. They must pass a written paneled exam before licensed ministers and Practitioners.

Meet The practioners

One-on-one Practitioner Sessions are available by appointment. Practitioner sessions are a paid professional service but should not be considered psychological counseling or psychotherapy. Practitioner sessions are private and confidential. What is shared in a session is never discussed with anyone except where the Practitioner is required by law.

Amber Davidson, RScP

Amber is a lifelong learner and delving deeply into the New Thought philosophy encouraged her to eventually choose the “Prac (Practitioner) Track”. She has always been a questioner. She is proud that she was asked not to return to Christian Sunday school because she asked too many questions and was not satisfied by the answers. She loves that Ernest Holmes and SOM (Science of Mind) encourages people to question and experiment.

She remains heart-centered in her intellectual life and is passionate about helping people surmount limiting beliefs to embrace their greatest desires. She loves companioning personal growth and believes that the whole world gets better each time one person recognizes their completeness.

Amber has worked at the Centers for Spiritual Living home office in the Education Department since 2021. She is also a nationally touring opera singer and an R&B backup singer. She conducted a choir for over twenty years, and she has owned a costume store, a voice studio, and the largest Christmas caroling company in California. Currently, she’s on a journey that brought her to Colorado in 2016 and she loves serving CSL NoCo and is excited to see what’s next.
