Your Prescription for Healthy Living, Loving Relationships, and Joyful Spirituality
Have you ever tried to have a meaningful time of prayer with God while struggling with a serious headache? Or how about that knot in your stomach and trouble sleeping when you and your spouse have had a fight?
Your body, mind, and soul are “baked” together into a beautiful, integrated whole. What affects one part affects them all.
In this extended consultation with Dr. Carol you will:
- Understand why your physical health, personal relationships, or spiritual life feel stagnant, unhealthy, or painful.
- Discover how either dysfunction or wellbeing in any area of your life impacts your wellbeing in every other area.
- Hear God’s answer to the roadblocks you face on the road to wholeness.
- Know specific action steps you can take to find the life of peace, love, and joy you so much desire.
Through stories, Biblical and scientific references, and clear action plans Dr. Carol provides you the prescription you need to find the life for which God created you.
