It is in Faith, Love and Peace that the CFH&W provides counseling, workshops, support groups, and community formation to help all people create a Mind, Body, and Spirit Connection. We believe in the holistic formation of every human being.

The Center for Healing and Wholeness Director, Victoria Eddy CHSC, CARC, came to the Center in 2012 with over 25 years experience dealing with addiction and meditative spiritual healing. Victoria's certifications in Holistic Spiritual Counseling (CHSC) and Addiction Recovery Coaching (CARC), her passion for behavioral health, and her life experience have prepared her for and enabled her to create and faciltiate workshops, support groups, wellness seminars and healing retreats, in areas including effective communication, domestic violence and the twelve step recovery process.

Victoria presently coaches those with addiction, teaches and leads meditation classes and facilitates twelve step study groups. Her primary purpose here at the Center is to bring a mind, body spirit connection to the community, by providing families, seniors, and those effected by addiction and a safe secure place to connect. She is honored to help create a center for healing for all people.

As a Holistic Practitioner, I facilitate a meditative technique that has helped me and can help you too. Perhaps your feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed. Looking for peace during these challenging times. You may have lost your job. Your health or relationship may be at risk. You may be feeling afraid and looking for a solution. The meditative process I facilitate worked for me and countless others. All are welcome to call and receive a session to see if this process will help.

Colleen has been practicing Reiki since 2012. She became a Reiki Master Teacher because of her own profound healing experience. Colleen had suffered with a connective tissue disorder most of her life, that was compounded by injuries sustained in a car accident. She had tried other healing modalities, still experiencing debilitating pain. With little hope she tried Reiki while waiting six months for a double fusion surgery. Within four months she was completely free of pain. To the amazement of her surgeon and other physicians she canceled the surgery and continues to live free of debilitating pain. Colleen began studying Reiki and quickly realized her passion was to assist others to achieve healing and live pain free lives as she now does. Colleen's background is in health related studies, with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and a Master's Degree in Public Health. She is married raising two sons, while providing Reiki treatments at Living Acupuncture in Barnegat N.J.
