Prince F. Rashada received a Doctor of Divinity in Spiritual Counseling, D.D. and a Philosopher of Transpersonal Counseling, Ph.D. from UMS, to acquire the additional and essential tools to enhance his skills as a Transpersonal Psychologist, Spiritual Counselor and Metaphysical Practitioner. He specializes in helping clients empower themselves through nontraditional approaches that creates physical, mental, emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Dr. Rashada utilizes a psychospiritual modality to treat clients who suffer what he term as 'spiritual diseases', since all mental health, sociological problems, addictions and dysfunctional lifestyles originates in the mind. While traditional psychology uses neurological paradigms to treat clients, Dr. Rashada applies additional holistic approaches to supplement the treatment model to address the clients' spiritual needs as well which is the root to all healing. His treatment techniques are the basis of five fundamental observations:
1) Each individual possesses a Higher Self which acts as an inner doctor that heals and energizes the soul's energy
2) Healing occurs holistically, when spiritual techniques is applied to the treatment process
3) Energy blockages must be removed in order for people to live a much more healthier, enriched and balanced life
4) A change from a acidic to an alkaline-based diet that will aid in eliminating incurable diseases and traditional health problems by applying the methods and recommendations utilized by the late Dr. Sebi Alkaline Diet.
5) Mind-altering techniques such as meditation, yoga, hypnosis, out-of-body experiences, prayer, lucid dreaming and other alternative medical techniques are used to assist in the treatment process by incorporating psychospirituality, metapsychiatry, transpersonal psychology, alternative medicine and herbal extracts, etc. to improve the whole person.
Dr. Rashada believes that depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marital problems, dysfunctional lifestyles, spiritual numbness, anger issues, personality disorders, addictive behaviors or any other psychosocial issues that interfere with finding one's purpose in life, enjoying a much meaningful life and gaining more control over one's life, can be cured by soul healing and shifting the consciousness to a more elevated state. Then life truly becomes a classroom for developing souls! Mr. Rashada is very excited to be a UMS graduate, which has provided him with a metaphysical perspective that combines higher spirituality, a new age paradigm and a nondenominational approach that validates and confirms the divine nature of human beings who are in fact gods and goddesses, with divine potential to be perfect, godlike and to attain Christ-Consciousness.
Thank you UMS for confirming for him his belief regarding ESP, the mentality of the soul, it's perfection & immortality, how death isn't the end but a transition to higher life, understanding and interpreting dreams, communicating with ancestors/departed loved ones, experiencing the God-energy & ascension and understanding, practicing and applying the Universal Laws, etc. Dr. Rashada's goal is to teach, counsel and train others in the vast field of metaphysical sciences, and write books that contribute to the world's attainment of perfection while experiencing heaven on earth!
Rachel earned her Bachelor's and Master's in Divinity through the University of Metaphysical Sciences. She is a 500 hour registered yoga teacher (RYT-500) and 'Reiki Master,' having completed all three levels of training.
Rick has an academic background in psychology. Over the years, he continued to read and study various psychological literature. In addition, be began to integrate the spiritual and the ontological into his readings.
One day, while spending a beautiful day at the beach in Cape Cod, his wife showed him a course curriculum for UMS which she found in a local, Holistic store. He had an "AHA" moment after reviewing it. Why not attach a goal to the subject matter he had already been reading for pleasure.
He enrolled in UMS, finished the 80 courses and began a two year journey of study and research in the fields of "Spiritual Intelligence and The Intuitive Thought Processes" Upon completing his Master's degree, he began another two year journey researching and writing his Doctoral Dissertation, hoping to show that the root cause of stress is fear and why a holistic approach for coping is preferable to an allopathic one.
After seven years, this phase of Rick's journey has been completed. The next phase is to pursue a path in "Transpersonal Counseling". Pura Vida. :-)

A new pathway opened for her and a deep dive into the metaphysical began.
During coursework at UMS, Warner rediscovered the holistic benefits of hypnosis. While finishing her coursework, she also embarked on training to become a hypnotherapist. At the beginning of 2022, Warner opened a private practice where she offers a variety of healing modalities, from hypnosis to Reiki and transpersonal counseling. As Warner continues exploring her own healing journey, her desire is to eventually open a facility where holistic practitioners can gather together to serve and help others find their own pathway to healing.

The word "Shen" translates to a spiritual guide to the soul of the dead, and it was a natural evolution of spirit to seek training as an End of Life Doula.

In addition, Winkler has continued her training to work with our plant allies, including herbalism & aromatherapy studies, the Master Gardener program at Michigan State University, and in Botanical Illustration from the University of Michigan.

A life-long learner, Winkler is a highly passionate creative light worker who is helping women heal their ancestral and soul wounds. Using Tarot to direct the process, she provides spiritual counseling through a variety of holistic healing methodologies.
