My intention is to provide a warm, welcoming, safe space for you to explore and deepen your relationship with God. I find it a profound privilege to accompany people as they explore God's presence in their lives. Spiritual Direction is a sacred space for you and God. Sometimes it is only when we step out of the busyness of our lives and take time to talk about our relationships, work, whanau, hobbies, & passions, to someone who truly listens, that we begin to attune to and become more aware of God's presence within the extra-ordinaryness of our lives.

I see myself as an accompanying person alongside another discovering the presence, voice and discernment of God; what God may be saying through circumstances, personal history, relationships.
We are holistic people, physical, emotional and spiritual and I work with all these aspects of a person's life to increase awareness and a sense of God's presence and working.
Metaphorically I am companion gardener, with you and the Greatest Gardener, uncovering clearing sowing and reaping, pondering and wondering, waiting and being.

Stepping into the regular practice of spiritual direction saved my faith by providing me with a safe space to take the lid off the box I had put the God of my limited understanding into. The God of my unknowing leaped out and embraced me! I’m so grateful that I had a spiritual companion accompanying me on that journey as I discovered that God is so much more expansive and gracious, loving and kind, than I had previously allowed. Having someone who listens with curiosity and compassion, and who continually provides a scaffolding of care and hope as I wonder, wrestle, rest, question, explore, discern, wander, re-orientate and wonder again, has been the missing piece to my faith. Finding a new language and way of being with God within the contemplative tradition reshaped and reinvigorated my spiritual life, deepening my relationship with God. Could God be inviting you into a similar journey? It would by my joy and privilege to accompany you.
My direction practice is called "Be". With the tagline 'Time for you, with God, accompanied by another.'
