will assist community members with needed support and wholesome family entertainment we have available to offer. 

Help us make our services accessible to all who desire the help.

Help support our communities without having to turn to the government.

Seth Atwater has developed a series of tools that have helped hundreds of couples and individuals move past trauma to rediscover their self-worth through building self-confidence and belonging. These same tools have proved effective in helping all people who need motivation and understanding to be able to set and achieve personal, relationship and business goals. Using tools such as the Change Wheel, the 5 Levels of Consciousness, the 4 Levels of Motivation and many others, we have blessed the lives of many people. By inviting people to come to Christ through these tools we have watched clients move from being frozen and unable to function to thriving in their communities.

At Atwater Healing we want to make our tools available to all people who would like to utilize them to make needed or desired changes in their lives. The cost of helping individuals, couples and businesses is beyond what many can afford. Your pledge can help Seth and Atwater Healing make these services available to these people at only a fraction of the cost, allowing many more hundreds and thousands of people to receive the much needed relief we can offer them through individual and couples community support, online training and workshops, seminars, classes, and retreats.

We are not a non- or not for profit organization. This is by design. We do not believe the federal or state government knows what is needed in our local communities. Yet when they offer help through grants or tax brakes they also make unwarranted demands and limit the assistance we can offer to our communities. This is why we are turning to the people of the local communities.  This way we are beholden to you, the people of our community, and not to a far away and centralized group with little to no knowledge of our actual needs. 

Sexual Trauma

Women and men suffering from sexual trauma often feel alone and don’t know where to turn for help. Even when they do get help they often times feel judged by those they turn to. Sometimes those who have been abused or raped are not even sure what has happened to them and might not be able to identify the abuse. Often times they blame themselves for what has happened to them. We at Atwater Healing have worked with many women and men, and have guided them to the Savior where they have found true healing. We use scripture, literature and music to help them through their healing process. We understand what these people are suffering and we are here to help them rebuild trust and hope.

Domestic Abuse

Many men and women face domestic violence, verbal and emotional abuse in the relationships where they should feel the most safe and secure. The loss of trust and the trauma faced by these individuals may seem insurmountable. Our coaching staff have been fully trained in the tools that can bring hope and trust back into the lives of these individuals. By focusing on the Savior and using scripture, literature, and music our support specialists will guide individuals to healing and success in their individual lives and in their current and future relationships.
