— Frederick Buechner

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Emily. I am so grateful you are here!

My deep gladness includes creating sacred spaces for individuals to explore their spirituality and interior life, to rediscover their innate wholeness and to listen to Spirit’s sacred nudges, all while being grounded in God’s unconditional love.

Each of us has a deep hunger to reconnect to our authentic self and feel a true sense of belonging in this world. I want to walk with you on that journey and offer you the tender care you deserve.

My Heart-Centered Offerings

Spiritual Companioning

One-on-one sessions that offer a deep dive into your heart’s holy longings, pestering questions and whispered wisdom. There’s space for all of it here!

Spacious silence, compassionate listening and gentle holding will help new spiritual insights emerge as we explore how God is active and alive in your daily life.

Accompaniment for Cross-Cultural Ministry

One-on-one sessions that include: deep listening, spiritual guidance, trauma-informed care, practical advice on navigating cross-cultural challenges, and individualized support based on one’s holistic wellness needs and goals.

The accompaniment sessions help prevent individuals in cross-cultural settings from falling into burnout, and instead remain compassionate, humble and resilient in their ministry work.

Sacred Listening Circles

A small group of individuals interested in sharing about their spiritual journeys with each other as they deepen their capacity to listen to the Holy Spirit’s invitations.

The regular gatherings are grounded in contemplative silence, authentic sharing, communal accompaniment and sacred presence. Strangers soon become friends!

Restorative Circles

Through an intentional structure and facilitation process, restorative circles foster rich encounters among participants through storytelling and deep listening that fosters greater understanding and empathy among participants with different perspectives and life experiences.

With equal opportunity to speak, no “cross-talk,” and specific guidelines, it is incredible how transformative this community-building process can be.

Retreats and Workshops

Half-day, day, or multi-day options for individuals or groups to deepen their connection with God and refresh their souls. Through themed retreats, be nourished by contemplative practices, reflection prompts and a gentle schedule that offers rest and renewal.

Formation workshops allow participants to deepen their knowledge about cross-cultural living, heart-centered service and holistic wellness.

Soulful Work Mentoring

One-on-one sessions that include: deep listening, guidance around integrating your spirituality into your workday, practical advice on navigating nonprofit work-life balance, and individualized support based on one’s professional and wellness goals.

The mentoring sessions help professionals to avoid burnout, and instead allows them to reignite their passion for their work and begin to lead from their heart and soul.

Building a foundation of trust and fostering a sense of genuine connection are important components of my different offerings.

I also companion and facilitate from a posture of humility and from a joyful, co-creative spirit.

  • "Participating in the sacred listening group facilitated by Emily was a truly transformative experience. Her gentle, grounded presence created a safe and sacred space where authentic sharing could unfold naturally. Through the circle process, I found myself deeply heard—not just with ears, but with heart and spirit."

    -- Ronna S., Interspiritual Minister, Counsellor and Companion

  • "I have been blessed to be part of a small group that Emily has facilitated for the past two years. Emily listens deeply... hearing not only the words spoken, but also the heart and soul beneath them. The spiritual nourishment I receive from her care and direction is genuinely life-giving and I am grateful for her partnership as a spiritual sojourner."

    — Margaret G., United Methodist pastor

  • "I received monthly one-on-one accompaniment sessions with Emily while I served on the Arizona-Mexico border as a Franciscan missioner. We navigated issues with the migrant crisis, ministry challenges during COVID and the emotional ups and downs of living simply. Emily provided the love, comfort and support that not only kept me going for those two years but instilled tools that I carry with me as I travel along new roads."

    — Rhonda, nurse and former Franciscan missioner

  • "I receive monthly spiritual companioning sessions with Emily and have seen how they contribute to my spiritual growth and practice as a seminary student. Emily is always prepared for our sessions with a helpful and grounding starting off point such as a poem or reading and it is always something that I resonate with. She is a gifted listener and reflects back what I share with insight and without judgment. Emily knows how to create a safe and supportive space that fosters spiritual growth. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with her."

    — Leslie C., Seminary student
