Spiritual Direction
One-on-One Companioning
Spiritual growth often starts with a sense that something is missing.
This can feel like acute suffering or a more subtle awareness that even if things look right on the outside, it isn’t all quite adding up.
While those feelings may be uncomfortable, they can be a wonderful opportunity to develop a deeper, more honest awareness of ourselves. As a spiritual director I can help you to nurture your own intuitive spiritual curiosity.
I work with anyone interested in spirituality, including those of all religious backgrounds or none.
This is a big, warm and inviting space. The process isn’t about what you believe so much as helping you to gently uncover what is already there inside you.
During my years of clinical nutrition practice, I always incorporated spiritual work. Why? As many of my clients were surprised to discover, difficulties with food aren’t even really about food. All parts of your life can impact your diet and health, and how you eat and care for yourself often reflects where you are in your journey.
Today, my work is grounded in my understanding and experience that people become whole through nourishing the body and spirit. I describe this as self-nourishment for mind, body, and spirit.

“I had the extraordinary pleasure of working with Susan as the leader of a spiritual direction group for several years. Susan’s keen insights and ability to listen past the surface of my words triggered incredibly helpful growth as I entered into two seasons of life change—becoming a mother and taking on new challenges at work.”
