Soul Care

I don't have all the answers, but I do have a body shaped by grief. A body expanding beyond that grief. A body that listens to other body’s griefs. And, a body that refuses to lose hope even as she grieves.

Grief has reshaped my life.

I have co-created this reshaping.

What is spiritual direction?

Spiritual companionship/direction (what I lovingly refer to as soul midwifery) is for the lost and the found. The heartbroken and jubilant. The blessed being who is tune with their inner terrain, soul wisdom, and the Divine - and, the one who can't hear a damn thing right now.

With a lineage thousands of years old and roots far and wide, soulful companionship has shaped the landscape of spiritual wellness since the beginning of time. Imagine tribal elders telling stories by the fire. Birth keepers holding sacred space as a new mother cries. A retired priest or a current rabbi artfully listening to a congregant in need. Present. Quiet. Questioning.

Villagers going to see the wise old woman "who just knows." (But really it's you who knows and she has simply created the container for you to get in touch with your knowing.)

This is spiritual direction.

Like the relationships described above, your spiritual director (or soul midwife) cultivates a sacred space for you to examine your journey - the road blocks, messages, off-road adventures, and dark, grief-filled waters - with tenderness and care.

It is my specific passion to sit with women, mothers, couples, and teens who know grief, trauma, illness, and loss. Because the grief that can and will reshape us doesn't have to keep us from living a full and vibrant life.

We can embody the wholeness from which we came, beloved.

All are welcome

As a little girl, the primary vocation I imagined for my life was a toss up between garden witch/gnome (mud pies for the win) and nun. Church scandal crossed off the latter.

In the years that followed, I left Catholicism, practiced life as a coven-less witch, responded to an altar call in a predominantly Black Baptist church, and was saved by Jesus. I celebrated the high holiday's with my Jewish village; wild toddlers in tow ready to bake Challah with their dear friends. I considered a return to my father’s roots. But then, Jesus showed up in my kitchen.

I went on to study Hinduism, Buddhism, yoga, and her sister science Ayurveda with some of the best teachers in the Northeast. My family moved and we found the Evangelical movement. Stayed until it hurt and then, found Unity.

With Unity, we experienced... well, unity. People who believe that individual differences are necessary for the full expression of God in the world. A space where all of me (and my favorite people) are welcome.

In alignment with Unity values, I soulfully companion women, mothers, couples, and teens on all spiritual and religious paths. I honor all of the expansive dynamics of diversity - gender, sexuality, neurotype, family-type, ethnicity, ability. And, I offer a complimentary session before we embark upon soul care together. Just to make sure we're the best fit. Because you matter.
