Rev. Candie Wollard 

Naturally intuitive from birth she always knew there was more to life than what was generally perceived. Raised Baptist and spending many years as a Seventh-Day Adventists the mysteries beyond the norm were not a part of life. The standard belief systems left many questions unanswered. After a fifteen year study of religions and their origins she found what she was searching for - spiritualism and metaphysics.

Candie moved to Glenwood near Deland, Florida in 2003 from Homestead, Florida with her husband and four children: Donnie, Laura, Daniel and Katelyn. She has loved crystals and stones since the age of six. She loves and honors Mother Earth in all aspects from the mountains to the seashore, the mineral, plants and animal kingdoms, Native American beliefs, the Old Ways and Wise Ones, archeology, history, science and the study of anything and everything esoteric and metaphysical. Candies true passion in life is to assist in healing, teaching and enlightening others. To plant those seeds that grow into metaphysical understanding and help others realize the oneness we all are and the oneness of all things.
Candie became involved in classes and activities in Cassadaga soon after moving to the area and her formal studies in spiritualism and metaphysics began. She has an intense desire for understanding and knowledge, ever expanding herself and then sharing that with others. Candie met Dr Thomas at his "Meet Your Spirit Guides" workshop and started classes with him shortly after. She joined International Association of Metaphysics in 2006 and has served on the Board of Directors as Treasurer since 2007. Candie is a Spiritual Counselor, Healing Practitioner and Metaphysics Teacher certified through International Association of Metaphysics. Candie has worked as a Spiritual Counselor at the Purple Rose in Cassadaga since 2007. On January 1, 2010 Candie's heart's desire was fulfilled when she was Ordained as a Minister by Dr Thomas and through International Association of Metaphysics. She is also a Reiki Master and hold certification in DALFH Healing levels I, II and III. Candie attended Creative Energies in 2006 and has returned as one of the instructors in 2010.
