It is important to me that the directee is leading the way in what she/he wants to talk about and that they feel comfortable.
Together we are looking for God/the Holy Spirit/Jesus in the directees day to day life - in the good places and in the bad ones, in the happy ones and in the sad ones. The aim is to grow closer to the One they believe in, and to find comfort and strength to face life’s challenges. I believe that in learning how deeply they are loved they will also come closer to finding their True Self.
Sometimes images, art, stories, and the interpretation of dreams, etc. are effective tools I use in guiding my directees to find their own truth. If it feels appropriate, I draw on the wisdom of the Enneagram to help them understand themselves better.

As a spiritual director, it is my privilege to companion people as they reflect on the spiritual dimension of their lives.
The primary relationship in the room is between you and God, One-ness, Love, or whatever your language for the transcendent is. I desire to serve that relationship through deep listening, open questions and creative enquiry. I won’t tell you what to think or believe. Rather we look and listen together for the ‘sound of the genuine’ within your own soul and the holy invitations that are present in the midst of your ordinary life.

As your spiritual director I'd be listening with you to all aspects of your life - decisions, work, relationships, dreams, disappointments, joys...the whole shebang, and together we'd be looking for "the holy in the ordinary". I'm trained in a Contemplative/Incarnational model of spiritual direction which is unstructured and lively. Central to the session is you and God. I see myself as an extra pairs of eyes and ears with you; present in the highs, lows and plateaus of ordinary life, looking and listening with you for the invitations of God to you. Not a guru but a sounding board. Not a judge but friend to your soul. Not a teacher but a resource. Not an advisor but a skilled listener. I enjoy kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) spiritual direction but also love offering retreats and spiritual practice workshops.
I'm Pākeha, Cis, She/her, and doing my best to learn how to be a good ally.

offer a contemplative approach to Spiritual Direction to men and women from all walks of life. This approach involves above all a spiritual companionship that is characterized by a deep reflective listening with an individual who wants to explore their relationship with God in a safe, secure and sacred environment. My task as spiritual director is to help a person hear their own unique spiritual story in a new light and offer ways of noticing and responding to the activity of God in their life. Through the spiritual process my deepest desire for individuals is that they will grow in their knowledge of God and themselves which will in turn help them fall more deeply in love with God. Life then, becomes all the more meaningful and richer in every way as a result.

I love to accompanying people as we listen to God's movement together. Spiritual direction time for me is to make space for God connection. Sometimes we can try using creativity and arts to explore or deepen the experience. I also am passionate about bringing the contemplative prayer to young people.

For me spiritual direction is :
helping someone notice and respond to the work of Love, of grace, in their lives.
sitting with someone as they explore who 'God' might or might not be for them
witnessing someone's struggle and being a non-judgmental companion
supporting someone as they negotiate their relationship with institutional religion
walking alongside a person as he or she discovers more of who they are and who the divine is
being amazed by the movement of the Holy Spirit in a person's life ...

I prefer to call myself a spiritual companion.
I believe that all of life is sacred, that God speaks to the heart in many tongues, so as I accompany someone on their unique journey; I offer the space - to hear the invitation that is never withdrawn, glimpse God’s presence, gently explore the questions and to encounter and deepen their relationship with the Holy One.

As a Spiritual Director, I am a soul friend to others. I value accompanying others as they search to deepen their relationship with the divine and grow in their own personal spiritual journey.
I am personally interested in the significance of dreams and how God communicates with us in our spiritual lives as well as the impact of loss and grief on our spirituality. Additionally, I am also interested by different personalities and how they complement and enrich our understanding of ourselves. I believe relationships are essential in helping us recognise ourselves a the unique individuals God created us to be, fostering our growth in compassion and forgiveness.
I appreciate the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit and the cosmos which adds richness and beauty to each person. For me, “the real Director is the Holy Spirit hidden in the depths of our soul.” Thomas Merton.

I am a Benedictine Oblate so aim to live my life according to the principles laid out by St Benedict in his Rule for monastics. I believe that God is always and everywhere active in our lives – our spiritual journey involves becoming aware of how God is present to us in each situation. These beliefs form the basis of my spiritual direction practice.

Spiritual Direction is a regular conversation in which you are supported to notice and attune to Divine presence active in your life. It is a place to explore the happenings of daily life through the lens of spiritual communion. God is always speaking. It is for us to learn how to tune into this communication.

It’s my great pleasure to share in people’s journey with God. I assume that God is already at work in your everyday life and my role is to listen, notice and wonder with you. I am endlessly amazed at how close God wishes to come. I also hope to provide a safe place to say what “shouldn’t be said”. It is important for people to have a place to question everything,

Spiritual Direction is a sacred space where stories are honoured, not fixed, and where the individual's humanity is embraced as part of their connection to a loving God. It unveils the divine within everyday moments through quiet questions, reflection, and discernment. It is holy hospitality, welcoming the entirety of one's being – joys, hopes, fears, dreams, decisions and doubts.

I use two metaphors to describe the practice of Spiritual Direction; that of a midwife, and to borrow the name from the Celtic world, an Anam Cara or Soul Friend. Both invite and allow for ways of companioning and journeying alongside another at their own pace whatever story they may be living and telling, offering a sense of encouragement, care and support while at the same time noticing the movements and presence of God within.

I enjoy that spiritual direction provides an opportunity to accompany people as they attend to God's presence in their lives. On the road to Emmaus the disciples told the story of their experiences. Don't we sometimes walk without recognising Jesus?
I seek to be a companion who listens, respects and is sensitive to others' insights and journey.

I see life as a journey. We all go on journeys to destinations near and far. We experience new cultures and have wonderful adventures; we may do extraordinary feats or go to unexplored places. But for many of us our journeys go within ourselves.
- Who am I?
- What am I here for?
- Is there a God?
- Who is God?
- What is life all about?
I see it as a privilege to listen alongside you for movement of the Sacred.

My approach to spiritual direction is inclusive. I offer a welcoming safe space for anyone wanting to explore their spiritual life, whatever their background, circumstances and perspective. I find art, nature, poetry, music, etc, to be effective facilitators enabling directees to form a deeper communication and relationship with the sacred. I have a heart for those who wonder where they belong and who are facing major life transitions.
I am based in the Wairarapa / Greater Wellington. I am available to run retreats, contemplation and meditation days.

I am a Mother, Friend, Spiritual director, Spa therapist and Retreat facilitator.
I love all things centred in the Divine, that are simple, nourishing and inclusive.
Here at Seasons Soulcare we are about living a soulful and intentional life.
By slowing down and turning inward towards our heart and indwelling wisdom (God, Sophia the Divine ..) we can hear the places that need attention, healing, more joy, more softening and love.

Whangarei based. I have this quote in my Spiritual Direction room to remind me of what I'm about: "...a way of looking and listening, of beholding, marvelling, considering...we are all called to contemplation" (Margaret Magdelen). I love to see the surprising and often unexpected ways God is revealed to be at work to those sitting in conversation with me.
