A ministry of Christy Shirley Fickenscher, MA, Life & Wholeness Soul Care has a mission to promote, encourage, and facilitate mature relationships for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ. With a background in Marriage and Therapy Therapy, she has a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and practiced professionally for many years. She is retired and is no longer practicing as an LMFT.
Her ministry now centers on spiritual well-being as central to wholeness. She has been trained in the ministry of reconciliation (prayer ministry) through Imago Dei ministries out of Portland, Oregon. Prayer ministry is led by a desire to see the light of Christ come into the dark places within hurting individuals. Prayer ministry is both an art and the application of various tools for the unlocking the God-given potential within each person. Soul care sees all of life connected with the desire to live an undivided life as David prayed, “Lord, give me an undivided life that I might praise your name” (Psalm 86:11).
About Integrative Prayer Counseling: Our time together will center around what it is that you bring to the session and learning to listen to where the Lord is drawing you and speaking to you. Through the integrative prayer process, we learn to hear God’s perspective on the areas of our lives in which we struggle. The approach is to also listen to you as a whole person and take into consideration mind, soul, spirit, and body.
Appointments: Counselling sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays at the Chapter House are by appointment only. Contact Christy.

Chapter House: Tiqvah Women's Support Ministry
2028-12-20 18:00 - 19:00, 2028-12-27 18:00 - 19:00, 2029-01-03 18:00 - 19:00, 2029-01-10 18:00 - 19:00, 2029-01-17 18:00 - 19:00 | Chapter House, 7985 Park Drive, Fair Oaks, CA
There is a rising number of mothers who have had one or more adult children cut off relationships. Recent research describes the phenomenon as “epidemic” as more adult children are going “no contact” with parents. Common triggers, experts say, include politics, religion, lifestyle choices, and perceived emotional neglect or harm. But regardless of the reasons, the results of estrangement include grief and pain.
At Epiclesis, our desire is to provide a Tiqvah, a cord of hope: A new support ministry for women facing family disconnection.
“It’s a pressing need I feel that God has put on my heart,” says ministry leader Heather Bowes. “I’ve been on a journey of healing and want to be a source of hope for others. Four years ago, I fractured a relationship with my son and daughter-in-law, and I’ve learned that mothers coming along side one another is crucial to healing. I know one thing for certain: God alone brought me through the most heartbreaking season of my life. I want to walk that difficult road together with you.”
The ministry support group meets each Wednesday at 6 PM at the Epiclesis Chapter House (7985 Park Drive, Fair Oaks). More questions? Email Heather.
