About Fitz-Gerald Cushnie
The Man Who Became a Sanctuary - and Built One for the World
There are some people who do not merely teach peace - they emanate it. Some do not simply speak wisdom - they are the frequency of wisdom itself. And some do not just live a spiritual path - they become the path, a living reminder of what it means to return home to the Self.
Fitz-Gerald Cushnie is one of those rare beings. He is not a guru, not a mystic in robes, not a spiritual performer. He is a quiet force - grounded, deliberate, spacious - a man who walks through the world with the awareness that peace is not a concept; it is an embodied state. And for reasons even he once couldn’t fully articulate, people feel lighter in his presence. Something unlocks in them. Something softens. Something remembers.
A Life Shaped From Within
Fitz-Gerald’s journey did not begin with an awakening on a mountaintop. It began the way it begins for old souls - quietly, early, and with a kind of innate clarity most people spend decades pursuing.
From childhood, he saw people differently. Not as their behaviors, their masks, or their wounds - but as souls navigating their own inner landscapes. He never held grudges. Never carried resentments. Never believed another person’s actions had the right to disturb his internal world. Not because he was indifferent - but because he could already see deeper:
“People are acting from their own stories, their own pain, their own unmet needs. Why should I let their story become my suffering?”
This clarity, which others later understood as enlightenment or advanced emotional intelligence, was simply his natural way of being. Over time, this inner orientation - non-attachment, compassion without entanglement, peace without passivity - became his compass. And the more he lived it, the more he recognized that this way of being wasn’t just natural for him; it was necessary for the world.
Becoming a Vessel of Peace
Fitz-Gerald grew into a man whose energy speaks louder than his words. When he works with people - through touch, gaze, conversation, or silence - something moves inside them. Tension dissolves. Truth rises. Old narratives soften. The mind stops grasping and the heart finally breathes.
He doesn’t “perform healing.” He simply is a healing space. His presence alone is a sanctuary.
Training & Modalities
- Yoga
- Breathwork
- Meditation
- Intuitive bodywork
- Energy work
- Healing touch
- Craniosacral practices
Each modality deepened what he already carried: a natural capacity to shift energy, calm the nervous system, and help people remember their wholeness. But tools were never the core of his gift. His gift is the state of consciousness from which he lives:
“I am Source. I am peace. I am the frequency people return to when they have forgotten themselves.”
The Birth of Self Place - A Center for Remembering
As more people came to him for guidance, clarity, and grounding, Fitz-Gerald realized he needed to create a physical and energetic home for the work. Not a clinic. Not a studio. A sanctuary.
This became Self Place - a holistic and self-discovery center built on the truth that healing is not the fixing of what is broken, but the unveiling of what is whole.

- Self-Discovery Therapy (SDT)
- Energy bodywork
- Cranial therapy
- Somatic and spiritual integration
- Mindfulness and meditation guidance
- Workshops, circles, and community healing
- Kids’ mindfulness and self-discovery programs
- Free community wellness sessions (Self-Discovery Saturdays)
Sacred Self Sanctuary - Healing as a Human Right
As he worked with more individuals, Fitz-Gerald witnessed a heartbreaking pattern: Those who needed healing most often lacked access to it. So he created Sacred Self Sanctuary, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing accessible mental and emotional wellness services, especially for underserved and vulnerable communities.
Its mission is simple: To make inner healing available to all - regardless of income, background, or history.
Through free programs, community circles, youth support, and emotional wellness opportunities, the Sanctuary extends Fitz-Gerald’s belief that all human beings deserve:
- Safety
- Emotional clarity
- Belonging
- Inner peace
- A chance to remember their true self
The Project Firm - Conscious Business for a New Era
Fitz-Gerald’s work isn’t limited to personal healing. He also sees the collective structures that shape human suffering: workplaces built on stress, fear, disconnection, and burnout. So he refocused his founded organization, The Project Firm, a conscious business development organization that helps companies:
- Build mindful organizational cultures
- Create employee-first systems
- Integrate wellness and emotional intelligence
- Align business operations with purpose and humanity
For him, conscious business is not a trend - it is a spiritual necessity. And workplaces, like people, can be healed.
The Architect of Frameworks for Human Transformation
Fitz-Gerald is not only a healer - he is a builder of systems, frameworks, and models that guide people back to themselves. He created:
1. The 12 Conscious Parenting Principles
A deeply human approach to parenting rooted in emotional safety, mutual respect, growth, and heart-centered connection. Unlike most parenting guidance, which focuses on rewards, consequences, or routines, Fitz-Gerald’s principles focus on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and generational healing. Designed for today’s mindful parents who seek connection over control, this framework blends reflection, journaling, and emotional education with a tone that is gentle, spiritual, and real. It doesn’t lecture - it invites reflection, healing, and awareness. Each principle serves as a companion for growth, a living guide that families return to again and again.
Principles:
- Connection – The Prerequisite for Discipline: Before guiding or correcting, parents are invited to pause, observe, and connect with their child’s inner world. Connection fosters emotional safety, trust, and cooperation - proving that discipline rooted in understanding creates far deeper learning than punishment ever could.
- Healing Ourselves – The Greatest Gift to Our Children: Fitz-Gerald emphasizes that unhealed wounds in parents echo through family systems. By doing the inner work, parents model self-awareness, emotional regulation, and integrity, creating an environment where peace, not pain, shapes the family experience.
- Parenting as a Path for One’s Own Growth: Every challenge in parenting is an invitation to evolve. Children act as mirrors, reflecting unconscious habits and fears, encouraging parents to grow in patience, humility, and compassion - transforming parenting into sacred self-discovery.
- Understanding Forgetting and Apparent Defiance: Bright, curious children may forget or appear defiant not from disrespect but because their brains are developing. Fitz-Gerald teaches patience, repetition, and calm guidance to nurture self-regulation and confidence rather than shame.
- Compassion Over Judgment: Remembering our own childhood experiences, parents respond with empathy rather than criticism. Compassion keeps love at the center of discipline, fostering emotional safety and resilience.
- Every Moment Can Be a Teachable Moment: Even messy, challenging moments hold opportunities for learning and connection. By approaching missteps with presence and calm, parents model emotional regulation and create safe spaces for growth.
- Wisdom over Information: Wisdom Over Information is the Conscious Parenting principle that shifts education from simply teaching facts to nurturing a child’s inner wisdom. While knowledge is valuable, wisdom grows when children learn how to use what they know to understand themselves, make thoughtful choices, and navigate life with clarity and compassion.
- See Emotions as Communication: Emotions are messages, not misbehavior. Parents are guided to recognize the underlying needs in their children’s feelings, fostering emotional literacy and relational trust.
- Practice Humility – The Power of Repair: Apologizing and acknowledging mistakes models accountability and integrity. Fitz-Gerald emphasizes that repair strengthens trust and teaches children that relationships can recover and thrive despite imperfection.
- Self-Awareness Is Everything: Conscious parenting begins with knowing oneself. Self-awareness allows parents to respond intentionally rather than react unconsciously, modeling emotional intelligence and clarity for their children.
- Conscious Communication: Communication rooted in clarity, honesty, and compassion invites trust and vulnerability. Parents learn to speak with presence and listen deeply, teaching authenticity and emotional safety.
- Writing Our Story Together: Parenting is a partnership. Families co-create their shared story, values, and rituals, cultivating belonging, agency, and connection. This principle transforms parenting from a hierarchy of control into a collaboration of love and growth.
“Conscious parenting is not about raising perfect children - it’s about raising ourselves into the most present, aware, and loving versions of who we are. Every moment with our children is an invitation to return - to connection, compassion, and consciousness.” - Fitz-Gerald Cushnie
2. Whole Self Aspects for Evaluation & Integration
A transformative framework for deconditioning, self-inquiry, shadow integration, and alignment with the Divine. This includes:
- Self-awareness
- Authenticity
- Emotional integrity
- Conditioning deconstruction
- Somatic integration
- Spiritual connection
- Purpose & soul expression
- Boundaries
- Inner child healing
- Nervous system regulation
- Creativity
- Nature attunement

This model powers his “Program Buster” process - a guided path for unraveling old programming and stepping into one’s highest alignment.
The Writer - A Voice of Frequency and Truth
Fitz-Gerald’s books and workbooks carry the same energy as his presence:
- The Conscious Family Connection Workbook
- Forgiveness – A Path to Inner Peace and Wholeness
- Self-Discovery & Inner Peace: A Path to Mental and Emotional Wellness
And now, he is completing his seminal work: You Are the Path, a book that doesn’t teach people how to awaken - but helps them remember that they already are the awakening. The preface sets the tone: a frequency, a mirror, a return to the Divine self within.
Critics describe it as: “A powerful, transformative work that carries a frequency capable of igniting awakening.”
The Man Behind the Work
So who is Fitz-Gerald Cushnie? He is:
- A man who lives without resentment
- A guide who never forces healing
- A presence that untangles others simply by being
- A leader who designs conscious systems for humanity
- A sanctuary in human form
- An embodiment of peace
- A mirror of Divine Truth
- A walker of the middle path
- A teacher of remembering, not performing
- A man who does not heal you - he helps you rediscover your own healer within
He does not save people. He liberates them by revealing how deeply unharmed they already are. He does not inspire dependency. He inspires inner authority. He does not preach spirituality. He lives spirituality - simply, quietly, and fully.
Because he knows that the world doesn’t change through force - it changes through frequency. Because he understands that peace is not a luxury - it is the foundation of a conscious humanity. Because he sees suffering not as a flaw - but as a temporary forgetting of one’s true nature. Because he believes every human being deserves access to healing, connection, and inner clarity. Because his life is a devotion - not to accolades, not to titles, but to the evolution of the human soul.
The Legacy He Is Creating

He is not defined by his programs. They are extensions of his essence. He does not create services. He creates transformation. He does not guide people to him. He guides them to themselves.
In the End, Fitz-Gerald Cushnie is not simply a healer, teacher, founder, or author. He is a reminder. A reminder that:
- Peace is possible.
- Healing is possible.
- Alignment is possible.
- Forgiveness is freedom.

- And the Divine lives within us - waiting to be remembered.
He is not the path. He simply helps you discover that you are.
