I am professionally trained as a midwife, which I consider informs my whole perspective in offering Spiritual Direction, as God is all ways desiring to gestate in us through waiting seasons and even loss, to bring the mystery of unexpected surprises to birth in our lives.
Margaret Guenther opines a midwife is a 'with woman' who offers her 'with-ness' in keeping another company along the journey, one who provides empathic support; a 'listening into clarity'; and the freedom to explore the 'terra incognita' of the soul's desires. I consider the matrix for this is elicited through the reciprocal gift/trust of soul friendship, that I endeavour to proffer over a wide ranging denominational melange.

My approach to spiritual direction stems from the Ignatian tradition. I am trained as a spiritual director and a 'giver of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.
Ignatian Spiritual Direction is based on Ignatian spirituality, developed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556). The Ignatian Tradition leads the directee through a journey of uncovering their deepest desires and discovering who they truly are, that is, a person who is loved by God. The tradition also equips the directee with methods for identifying inner movements, and spiritual growth. These help the directee find the path of their own spiritual journey.

Every person is a mystery, even to themselves! The mystery of the universe speaks uniquely and personally to each of us. I seek to offer space for another to feel free to give expression to this dynamic in their life - and listen to these movements of God with them and where it may be calling or guiding. I see my role as 'Accompanying' another. I've personally found that spiritual direction in my own life has been transformative and my desire is to 'hold space' for others to experience this freedom. Life is an ongoing deepening adventure.

I love to accompany fellow-pilgrims, to hold sacred space, and encourage in-depth conversations that lead to the Holy and find Christ in the midst. I am intrigued by both Ignatian and contemplative approaches to prayer, and liturgical rhythms sustain my spirit.
Amongst those I have accompanied are pilgrims who are of varied ethnicities, gender-diverse, or busy and stretched, those in transition or discernment processes, many who are leaders in faith communities, and some who are deconstructing or losing their faith. Together we seek the gentle, generous and joyous, the creative, curious and kind – the Mystery.

My approach to Spiritual Direction is that of creating a welcoming listening space, where you feel comfortable to share whatever you are most present to in your life experience at this time, whatever that might be. A space where you are deeply heard and together we attend to your awareness of God and Divine Presence in your life, however this is named, and where we can attend to what is seeking to emerge as a way forward in your life.
I have been inspired by the rich tradition of the christian mystics, and draw on a background of contemplative and Ignatian prayer practices in accompanying others. Among other things I have a passion for grandchildren, the awe and beauty of nature, walking, photography, and good films.

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.

I see spiritual direction as an opportunity for people to bring whatever aspects of their life they wish to share, seeking primarily to explore the question: "Where is God in this?" I hope that through this process, people will have an opportunity to grow in intimacy with God in the way that is right for them. For on-going spiritual direction, I usually see people once a month, but obviously this is arranged to meet the needs of the individual person.

I seem to have been gifted with a sharp intellect and great compassion born out of various moments of suffering in my life. I try as a listener to help my people to see and accept their giftedness and love so that they can acknowledge their lines of stress and learn to accept and grow from them. I use imagery, dreams, drawing, vision, prayer - whatever is best suited to the personality of the person.

Spiritual Direction provides a wonderful opportunity to accompany people on their journey with Our God. I aim to listen, to draw out and ask questions that help another pay attention to God's activity and presence in their lives. I am trained in the Ignatian Tradition and draw on this in my ministry.
