Spiritual Direction, Therapy/Counselling, and Life Coaching
When we first hear the words spiritual direction, and perhaps begin to engage in a conversation about this practice with others, questions of how it fits into a spectrum of care offerings emerges.

Why have a spiritual companion?
There is an old celtic phrase that is said to have originated in Irish monasticism where it was applied to a monk’s teacher, companion, or spiritual guide.

The worlds collide for a practice that is accessible anywhere you find yourself, with no extra tools required, boasting benefits for your mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

How to discover your word for 2023
When you think of entering into a new year with intention, what comes to mind?
Perhaps, it’s taking some time away from social media, getting cozy with a cup of tea and a notebook, and writing out the goals you have for the upcoming year.
Perhaps, it’s refining your priorities so you can step into 2023 with renewed focus and passion.
Perhaps, it’s dusting off the list of resolutions from 2022 that didn’t come to fruition and making a commitment to self to be disciplined and power through to make them happen this year.
