As a teen struggling with a view of God as punishing and blessing, I had two prevailing thoughts about God: anger and fear. When I was introduced to Christian Science, I did not expect to find solutions to those struggles in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures , but I was intrigued by the ideas that the book was a key to understanding the Bible (which I had grown up reading) and that it explained a divine Science of healing. It seemed reasonable to me that if something is actually a science, then any honest student can learn the rules, apply them, and find predictable results.

When I took Christian Science Primary class instruction in my twenties, I found that the teachings were relevant to me as a tertiary student, young wife, mother of four children­, traveller and thinker. They also enhanced and steadied my life and work in Australia, England and Malaysia. Today, living in an environment of cultural, political, health and climate challenges, I find reassurance in this counsel from Mary Baker Eddy: ‘We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things’ ( Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures ).

As a child and young adult growing up in St. Louis, I felt life was a mystery; the future was unknown and the present a string of random events.

I live in the country in Salem, Oregon, where I teach my classes in a tree house environment. I think of my students as an extension of our large diverse family.

I was so blessed with the opportunity of receiving spiritual education in Christian Science at home and attending a Christian Science Sunday School. I always loved the Bible's message and Mary Baker Eddy's teachings in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures . I had several healings praying for myself. When I was 12 I wanted to get involved in supporting church activities. I became a member of The Mother Church and a branch church, and started to participate.

My calling to the public practice of Christian Science came in the summer of 1973. As I sat quietly praying about my life's purpose one night, looking out over a placid Maine lake, the moon was laying a gentle path of light directly to me.

 As a child, I was told that my great-great-great-grandmother became a Christian Science practitioner after experiencing healing while reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. However, I certainly remember my grandfather - also a Christian Science practitioner - whom I loved immensely and could always turn to for help.

I was born in Tokyo, but before starting to speak Japanese fluently, at age two my family moved to Mumbai, India. I consider my four years in India to be my most formative years.

Nicole found Christian Science during a very troubled and difficult time in her life. At her first encounter with Christian Science, she experienced healing from migraines, which was then followed by further healings in various areas of her life.At first she couldn't explain exactly what had caused these healings.
