About Our Journey Together
I believe that everyone holds the innate ability to embark on a profound internal voyage...

As a trained spiritual companion, I am here to listen to you, attend to the voice of Spirit within you, and to provide a compassionate and sacred space for you to discover and follow that voice more clearly and closely. 

Through personalized guidance, I help create an energetic environment where you can explore your inner world and connect with your spiritual essence.

Whether you are seeking to find your own voice, working through issues and obstacles, or seeking a closer walk with Spirit, spiritual companioning provides a way towards a deeper understanding of your life's journey.

Contact me for a free 15 minute phone call to see if spiritual companioning is for you, or make an appointment for an initial session. I am looking forward to working with you. 

Blessings, 

Melissa

What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is not therapy.

"Spiritual companions have a special role to play by establishing a safe space for you, listening deeply and intently, spiritually, and letting your authentic self shine through.

Ideally, we are mirrors that allow you to see yourself more clearly. We strive very hard not to impose our own vision, so as not to distort the image. All of this is meant to allow you to see what is already inside you, what is already whole.

You are your own best teacher.

God/Brahman/Tao/Nirvana is within us all, fully, completely, without reservation or limitation. We have but to look. What greater form of intimacy can there be than to see your true self, your soul, accurately reflected as if you were looking in a mirror?

This is what spiritual direction and spiritual companionship are meant to accomplish.

We seek to inspire trust and safety, to facilitate important conversations around our deepest aspirations and longings, namely our desire to connect with that which connects all beings."
