I am really glad my husband and I took part in the A Well Anointed Couple class. It was exactly what we needed. I had expressed to my husband how I felt like I needed something extra, something serene, something very personal. I was going through a bit of complacency and depression, i guess. Maybe a mid-life crisis, i am not sure but I wanted to get over it whatever it was and get on with enjoying my life, my marriage, and my children. We heard about this class from a close friend and decided to give it a try. I was moved beyond words and then when we were able to use what we had learned at home privately, the results were 10 fold. I even had a pain in my legs that I had been suffering with for months disipate almost within days of my anointing and prayers from my husband. Now we make it a point to follow the worksheet and anoint & pray over each other no less than once every three months. It is the best thing I have ever done with my spouse to build each other up and enhance our marriage. Everyone needs to become A Well Amnointed Couple, the world would be a much better place to live.

I was very skeptical about taking the Well Anointed Couple class when Anne approached me with it. I am a private person and did not want to take that part of me in front of someone I did not know. I pray for Anne daily and thought that ought to be enough. Then she told me I would get to rub oil on her and what guy would turn down rubbing oil on his wife. I am so glad she was persistent. I found out that my prayers for her had become routine and unfocused. I learned that there is tremendous power in prayer for your wife while actually touching her. The class was very private, very professional, and also a lot of fun. Great job Marsha and Bob. Anne and I have taken this home with us and thru prayer and touch we have reached a whole new level of bonding as a husband and wife…..WOW. Hey guys, you deserve this as much as your wife does.

Marsha & Bob, Thank you so much for the well annointed couples class. We really enjoyed ourselves and had a good experience together. It was a good way to bring my husband and myself closer to each other and to God. There were many points you brought up that I hadn't even put any thought into, i.e.: how to pray for my husband and what to pray for, and that these oils were even mentioned/used in the bible so much. It was a very beneficial class to us and you are a great teacher! Thanks for making us feel comfortable and being willing to answer my uneducated questions! Thanks!

I can truly testify to the benefits of therapeutic grade essential oils. Being a cllient of Marsha's since fall of 2008 has made a positive and significance impact in my overall health. When I first started weekly visits, I suffered from gout, fatigue, anxiety, and a host of muscular problems. Daily routines and life in general are so much better now. Detoxification was a huge issue that concerned me due to my highly toxic work enviornment. Marsha has addressed each one of these issues professionally and has truly brought healing to me body, mind, spirit, and soul. It can be said that I am sold on the healing properties of essential oils, therapeutic massage & bodywork, healing touch energy work, detoxing, vibrational therapy, and focused prayer. I plan to continue my weekly appointments and hope for my wife and I to join her and her husband for the "A Well Anointed Couple" retreat soon.

Hi Marsha & Bob, I did so enjoy Saturday's class on the oils. Very informative, and surely put a new light on the Scriptures, which is always priceless. It was time well spent. I began losing my senses of taste and smell about 15 years ago, and in the past 4 or so years, have had only 3 or 4 days out of a year that it recurred. I've not been able to associate these occasions with anything different in my routine. I wasn't able to smell the oils Saturday, but made myself lightheaded a couple times in my effort, and could almost feel it in my throat and ears. About an hour after the class, I went to Barnes and Nobles, and was overwhelmed by being able to smell the coffee when I walked in and while I remained there. I kind of forgot about it until I got home, and could also smell the cedar in the walls here when I came in. I'm not smelling all the time, but have experienced it more in the past 4 days than in the last 4 years, and I don't think it's just coincidence that it's come after the oils. I got one of the bottles that Carla was giving out (the Di-Gize), and have been inhaling it frequently, and can smell it nearly every time. It's heavenly! It's great to smell ANYTHING! The oils I rubbed on at the meeting were Frankincense, Hyssop, and Myrtle. I would love to purchase the 12 oil set, but can't right now. Just got 2 students back off to college and have been doing that routine for 12 out of the past 13 years. (Can you hear me squeak?) Anyhow, I MUST get a bottle or two for now, but didn't see the oils you were showing listed on the web site. Is there a link I missed or a way to get a catalog? I'm glad to see alternatives to main stream medicine emerging again, and will be thankful when it is more accessible and affordable. I commend you for what you're doing, and pray God will bless your ministry. It's a wonderful way to contribute and serve.
Sincerely, Connie. Kingstree, SC
YES, YES, and YES! We all had a great time at the Sept 4-6, 2009 retreat in TN at the Sugarhollow Retreat Center. The couples that came were VERY happy with and VERY interested in the information and we hope and pray that we will be able to do this again real soon. We wish more couples could have made it, 2 or 3 more would have fit right in with our group.
We believe every couple deserves it and owes it to themselves to make a point in attending the next retreat so they can be completely anointed by their mate. Bob and the others said they were very impressed and we should not make any "major" changes to the information or the schedule. As far as the title of the retreat, we have made a small change. Now and forevermore, our retreat is the "A Well Anointed Couple Retreat" and hopefully one day we can become a nonprofit, already titled "Well Anointed Ministries". Big plans? Yes, but we serve a big God!!!!! Therefore, please pray for us!!! We ask God daily for guidance, wisdom, stamina, resources and exponential growth.
May God grant healing to you and yours always,
Marsha & Bob Harper, Florence, SC
Marsha & Bob, We really appreciated all the effort you put into the weekend. David and I enjoyed it tremendously! Thanks for everything!
Sincerely, Yvonne & David Marion, SC
Our experience at Sugar Hollow with Marsha & Bob for the "A Well Anointed Couple" retreat was, by far, more spiritual and enjoyable than I ever imagined. The setting was breathtaking and the perfect place to clear the mind for prayer and meditation while having the opportunity to get closer to your partner and other couples. We enjoyed many hours of hands-on training which was backed by professional and scriptural inspiration. With out a doubt in my mind, the techniques we learned will be used and perfected throughout the rest of our life to bring Martha and I closer and closer as we journey through life's ups and downs. Our introduction to the essential oils has reaffirmed some of what I already knew and opened my eyes to a new world of God's medicines that I had no idea existed. The power of a healing touch, alone, is worthy of every one's interest. We highly recommend the "A Well Anointed Couple" retreat / program.
