Awaken the Heart.
Transform the Soul.
Live with Meaning.
Welcome to the Center for Soulful Living
​
At the Center for Soulful Living, we offer marriage and family support rooted in spiritual wisdom and awakening heart awareness. Our unique approach guides individuals and families to re-see and re-relate to personal challenges through the lens of soul and spirit. Within this deeper awareness, life begins to transform—bringing renewed joy, intimacy, and connection.
Our counseling is not just about problem-solving; it’s about soul-discovery. We support individuals in accessing the inner depths of their being—what we call the soul—and help them understand how their ways of relating, living, and working evolve
when these inner dimensions are nurtured.
Through spiritual practices, silence, and stillness, we invite clients to awaken the longings of the heart—the quiet call of the spiritual self. We explore and cultivate heart awareness and heart intelligence, offering pathways toward authentic living,
meaningful relationships, and profound personal growth.
We offer a gentle yet profound approach to healing and growth through spiritually grounded therapy. Our services are designed for individuals, couples, and families seeking not just relief—but deep transformation and portals to awakening.
Robert and Mary Jane are here as a team—to listen, guide, and walk alongside you.
