WWC is an initiative of Charlestown and Garden Suburb Congregations of the Uniting Church in Australia Rev. Tom Stuart - B Soc Sc, B Th, Grad Dip Sc (Mental Health) As a minister of the Uniting Church in AustraliaI see the Whitebridge Wellness Centre as encouraging people of diverse backgrounds to join together to address a central human aspiration - wellness. My training is in sociology, psychology and theology and more recently I obtained a graduate diploma in mental health and training as a spiritual director. I have particular interests in the Enneagram, Male Spirituality, Myers Briggs, Yoga, and the development of spiritual practices including meditation. I have a long time interest in healing. It probably arises out of a lengthy history of chronic and acute migraine. In the absence of any cure I seek ways to live meaningfully, and fully, andf as pain free as possible. This has led me down many pathways of healing and wholeness that have benefits well beyond the chronic migraine condition.. The Wellness Centre is my way of supportring others as they seek their own wellness. David Sumner Working in foundries and heavy engineering for most of my working life in England was satisfying but about 17 years ago that life changed dramatically and in ways that I could never have imagined. Through a chance conversation I began training to become a Spiritual Healer, culminating two years later in gaining full accreditation. Around the same time I also qualified as a pyschotherapist. Shortly after I left my job as an Engineering Manager and have since followed the path of a Holistic Therapist during which time I have seen what can be achieved by looking at health and wellness from a holistic perspective that embraces our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual self. It is a privilege to be part of the Whitebridge Wellness Centre.
