Radiance Center

In April of 2004 the I Am Healing Arts Center was founded by a group of individuals brought together by Christian Michael Steele, a cardiac anesthesiologist. The original purpose of The Center was to offer individuals support through educational opportunities and wellness activities to make a positive and profound difference in the community. Over the next five years, The Center explored and incorporated a wide spectrum of approaches such as integrated holistic medicine, an extensive educational focus, and clinical and team dynamics to better fulfill its mission.

As we grew, we determined the need for research to see if needs were being met within the community. Upon completing this research, the developmental team and the Board of Directors determined that for us to have the greatest impact, the I AM Center needed to take their services into the community. Realigning their programs and organizational structure helped them accomplish this goal.

In 2006 the national organization, Center for Radiance, was incorporated in the State of Florida. This was done with the intent of opening Radiance Centers around the country. In 2009 the I AM Center was renamed Radiance of Sarasota, becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, an affiliate of Center for Radiance nationwide. Their sister center in California is Radiance of Lake Tahoe (which is headed up by Christian Steele) and Radiance of Portland (Oregon) will be established in the fall of 2009. As community focused well-being and inspirational and education centers we are expanding the powerful work done within these centers into the community and across the nation.

Radiance of Sarasota is committed to the highest level of integrity and authenticity in all that we are and offer. We invite you to be a part of who we are and what we do by connecting with the energy and expression of bringing transformation and healing to the world. Radiance offers the assistance and resources necessary to support you in making powerful changes in the way you experience yourself and life.
