"Our Story"
Healing Truth Center by Dr. Shawna Marie is “facilitating evolutionary living” through dynamic experiential learning, books, and its online community.
Founded December 2007 the Center has evolved since its early years in Harlem, New York when Healing Truth Center provided in-person spiritual counseling, prayer support, workshops, and retreats.
During the 2008 recession, prayer requests from the community-at-large were flooding in. People were calling to ask for money blessings, eviction prevention prayers, and financial help for living expenses. Healing Truth Center’s response was Prosperity NOW! Dr. Shawna penned a book of daily affirmations for prosperous living. The success of the book led to the creation of more workshops and the Living in Spiritual Perspective podcast and blog — all based on Dr. Shawna’s highly developed understanding of spiritual principles.
Propelled by the transformation she facilitated in people’s lives, Dr. Shawna was further inspired to publish her second book in 2011, Only God. Healing Truth Center continued to produce the show (which was now on YouTube) and had begun collaborating with other organizations to produce live events. The events focused on women’s empowerment and healing, love and relationships, as well as spiritual education.
Because of the core themes that kept surfacing in Dr. Shawna’s work with individuals, couples, families, and groups, Healing Truth Center developed three signature programs: Opening to Spirituality, Loving Me, and My Prosperity NOW! They were created to facilitate profound understanding and life transformation related to self-love, financial wellness and spiritual growth.
Today, Healing Truth Center continues to evolve and expand, remaining committed to empowering souls worldwide to address the full range of life goals by combining spiritual perspective with expertise in mental health and psychology.
