Spiritual Coaching

What is Spiritual Coaching

One of the greatest joys of being an ordained priest is being invited to accompany people on their spiritual journey.  The traditional term for this vocation is Spiritual Direction.  For me, the term Spiritual Coaching feels more appropriate. 

Spiritual coaching — Spiritual Direction— whatever one may call it, is a practice of proofing one’s humanity.  In my work with clients, I support their process of naming and claiming strengths, identifying and acknowledging their shadow aspects, appreciating gifts and cultivating gratitude, and nurturing the skills to discern the Divine in the midst of ordinary life.  I help individuals in their own unique process of engaging Spirit, discerning their vocation, and sharing their gifts with others.       

Our growth as human beings is a personal and unique journey.  During my more than two decades as a parish priest I came to appreciate how the Divine always meets us exactly where we are.  Spirituality is not about beliefs and doctrines — having the answers. Spirituality is relational — nurturing and cultivating our relationships with ourselves, one another, and the Divine.  Spiritual coaching is relationship-based work that integrates one's spirituality with one's lived experience.

My focus is to help you to once again trust your spirituality, enliven your soul, and live an intentional life that is imbued with meaning, purpose, and joy.

True Self Discovery Session

Spiritual coaching is relationship-based work.  The process of discerning one’s true self is deeply personal — inviting one to reflect on all aspects of one’s life and discern the how the many facets of one’s life shape and influence one’s sense of meaning and purpose.  The free consult enables you to determine if spiritual coaching will be beneficial for you at this time in your life and acquaint you with how I work with clients.    

Coaching Session

Our growth as human beings is a personal and unique journey.  My focus is to help you reframe your understanding of spirituality so that it is a natural and integrated dimension of your lived experience.  As you learn to trust your spirituality, you cultivate the ability to discern the Divine in your life.  A single session may be most beneficial if you have a very specific aspect of your life that you would like to reflect on. 

Coaching Package

Our growth as human beings is a personal and unique journey — and the operative word is journey.  Since we are ever evolving as persons, a package of six sessions is typically most beneficial as you discern the best means for integrating the many facets of your life into a meaningful and authentic whole.  The six session package affords the client the support and consistency that nurtures the development of a spiritually congruent life.
