Spiritual Direction + Spacious Accompaniment

A Spacious Place to Belong As You Are Becoming

Together we attune to the deep and the timeless. We hold questions no one else can answer for you and listen deeply. We open to what you sense and ground intuitions in rhythms and practices that anchor you as you live into what is emerging.

We notice what is—obscurity, pain, fear, longing, wonder, delight, hope—and invite it into the home within you where true belonging and wisdom are always, already present.

When you go inwards with gentleness, even though the journey may be precarious, you will still in no way be going into isolation. Rather, you will be coming into deeper kinship with everything that is. The mystery of the unity of the world and of the Universe and of the Earth is that the closer you journey to your own source, the more you come into rhythm and harmony with everything that is actually there.

—John O’Donohue

Trauma-Informed Wisdom Approach

  • Kirsten is Not Afraid of My Questions

    In a culture crowded with “spiritual experts” and leaders ready to tell us what to think and who we are, I believe it is vital to have a companion like Kirsten. Someone who has not predetermined our path. Someone who understands that sacred wisdom is within us, and that this wisdom will guide us home — to Divine Love, and ourselves.

    Kirsten once told me, “I am not afraid for you," and truly it is a gift to journey with a woman who is not afraid of my pain, my questions, or my evolving spirituality.

  • Kirsten Invites Me to Hear + Trust My Own Voice

    What I found (and continue to find) with Kirsten is a sacred accompaniment that allows me to find myself — invites me to hear my own voice and trust it — and expands my experience of what communion with Divine Love can look like.

  • Kirsten Creates A Space of Soft Landing

    I am afraid to take up space. Not because I do not feel that I am deserving of a space to process what it’s like to live as a trans, person of color with chronic illness; I am afraid to take up space because I am told by the current, predominant culture that being alive is asking for “too much”.  

    Meeting with Kirsten is remembering what it feels like to take a deep breath, a rhythmic breath, a spacious breath. In our sessions I take up space, I stretch out freely, unraveling my past life experiences and knitting them to dreams for my future. 

    Expansion and breathing deeply can feel scary at times, especially for those trained to be bent, small and constrained. It is in these times of expansion I am held by Kirsten and the space she creates. 

    Kirsten has created a space of soft landing and she embodies a tender care that is strong enough to witness the expansions and contractions of life.

  • Kirsten Listens With Me

    I’m thankful for people who invite me to look for spaciousness instead of constriction, abundance instead of scarcity, and slowness instead of hurry.

    My friendship with Kirsten is a lesson for me in listening deeply to the soft nudges of my inner wisdom.

  • Kirsten Provides A Safe Space to Unravel Beliefs

    Spiritual direction with Kirsten was a life-affirming experience. She provided a safe and holy space for me to walk through deconstruction and reconstruction in an emotionally and mentally healthy way. My sense of the Divine was heightened through her gentle listening and reliance on the Spirit. I cannot recommend spiritual direction or Kirsten highly enough!

  • Kirsten's Practice is Artful

    Thoughts of playful interest and awe as I think about how intricate and beautiful your practice is; it is like art in the ways that it can't be narrowly defined but its palatability nourishes and evokes wonder in all who get to participate.
