Les and Kathie Bauer met at a Lifestyle education center in 1975 and worked under Dr. Charlotte Holmes (now deceased). For 5 years they helped manage the Holmes’ wellness center, Philadelphian Institute, gaining first-hand experience in the knowledge of lifestyle change benefits. In continuing to live and share this knowledge the experience has given them skills to teach others what to do to bring their bodies into a condition that there can be healing. As well as being the directors of WCWC for over 15 years they are now attempting to help establish another center of healing. This effort by the Bauer’s, along with their oldest daughter and husband is expected to be open by early 2021.

Kathie has 20 years of clinical massage experience, and is a licensed massage therapist. The deep tissue massage is very effective with any muscular pain. When used in conjunction with hydrotherapy and some lifestyle changes the success rate is tremendous for help in relieving sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, neck pain from whiplash, back pain, and much more. She offers free pain relief massages upon request.

Kathie also has created many recipes that are delicious yet very healthy. Oil free recipes that are very satisfying and even the children will be asking for; She has developed raw food and raw juice programs that if followed will bring cleansing to the body.

Les has been conducting power point health lectures for over 35 years all over the United States and overseas. His deep interest in the health work, combined with an attitude to serve those with health needs, has kept him continually searching into what is the best knowledge to be presented to those who want a healthy lifestyle.

Tabitha Smith (Bauer) was born (1978) when Les and Kathie just made the change to be total plant based, and has with her husband Luke, lived and raised their 5 children with natural remedies and total plant based diet. They have opened up their home and property in Florida for the purpose of retreats for people needing to come and receive the knowledge of how to walk in the path of health. Their knowledge is going to be a blessing to those who come to SPH for their education and encouragement in life style enhancement.

God has given us direction to go forward in Florida to help the many people that are waiting for us to “be a restorer of paths to walk in” Isaiah 58:12 We are excited as we see the way opening up. We hope to see many other places open up as time goes on. Pray for laborers for the work is plenty but the laborers are few. Luke 10:2
