Spiritual direction has given me a soft place to land for that deepest part of me that wanted to be heard and tended to. In fact, my longing to receive what I was looking to offer others brought me first to spiritual direction as a directee. It has provided the container through which I have been able to receive grace and hear the tender voice of Love to my soul. And in turn, this is what draws me to offer spiritual direction to others: to hold space for another to hear and receive grace, encounter the tender embrace of God and recognize the heartbeat of God in life. My desire is to live life opening ever more deeply and fully to God.

I completed spiritual direction training with SoulStream (2005) and supervision training with Together in Mystery (2011). My background also includes work as a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and years of experience in church leadership. As well, I am one of the founding partners of SoulStream. Our children now grown, my husband and I enjoy living in Vancouver, BC where walking close to nature makes my heart sing.

When I first discovered spiritual direction in 2007, I felt I’d found a home for my deepest longings. These longings were rooted in the desire to know the truth of my belovedness, to experience God in the midst of what was real and raw in my human experience, and to grow in the transforming grace and awareness of myself in relationship with the Trinity. My spiritual director held space for me to make room for these longings and I knew I desired to offer that same kind of gentle and hospitable presence for others. Since completing the Art of Spiritual Direction training with SoulStream in 2009, I’ve had the sacred privilege of companioning others in this way.

I live on an acreage outside of Saskatoon, SK, where sunrises and sunsets frame my days and bring me much joy. I find nature, belly laughs, making deep connections with others, encountering life through reading, co-facilitating retreats and courses, learning, good food and drink, good company and especially my husband and our adult kids. I find all of these to be very life-giving.
