Lynn Woodland has devoted her entire professional life to promoting spiritually empowering alternatives to traditional human services. While still a teenager, she spent four years working for a spiritually-based Waldorf-styled preschool. Then in 1975 she joined an innovative state-funded counseling program in Baltimore, Maryland that offered transpersonal alternatives to traditional psychotherapy and addictions treatment. In her twelve years with this program (called the Janus Center), she worked with groups, families, and individuals, specializing in both general mental health issues and addictions treatment.

In 1983 she helped to found, and became the first Director of the Baltimore Center for Attitudinal Healing, modeled after the Center in Tiburon, California, founded by Gerald Jampolsky. It offered support services to children and adults dealing with life-challenging illnesses, and promoted an uplifting philosophy that quite simply defines healing as letting go of fear. During this time she specialized in helping people with illnesses to understand the connection between consciousness and health. In particular, she developed expertise in understanding the secondary gains of illness and addressing the complex emotional dynamics that affect the will to heal.

In 1987 she left this Center to lead seminars based on her own work. She now specializes in six-day long intensives that facilitate a deeply cathartic peak-life experience and help people to access their innate power, wisdom and capacity to heal.

As a writer, Lynn Woodland has contributed articles to dozens of growth and wellness papers around the country and is the author of the book Power, Effectiveness and Spirit. She is also the founder of a volunteer-staffed prayer and spiritual healing ministry that has been in operation since 1999. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, she currently lives in Minneapolis.
