Victoria Bresee, MA, MAR

For the past 20 years, Victoria has had a private practice in Spiritual Direction and Energy Medicine, offering both unique and time honored techniques for spiritual, physical and emotional healing.

While at Iliff School of Theology, Victoria earned a Master’s of Religion degree from Iliff School of Theology in Women’s Studies, studying Spiritual Direction, meditation, and Psychosynthesis with Jane Vennard.

Victoria’s major contribution to the field of Spiritual Counseling has been through the development of Christosynthesis, a technique that draws upon depth psychology, the teachings of mystics (such as Teresa of Avila), and body-centered energy work, utilizing the mystical metaphor of Christ who was both spirit and flesh.

Her spiritual counseling practice also draws on the work of Hal and Sidra Stone (Voice Dialogue), Brugh Joy, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating (Centering Prayer), Harville Hendrix (Imago couples counseling), Luana Veo (Breathing Awareness) and Energy Psychology.
