Welcome,
I’m Terri.
I help exhausted women in caring professions live a flourishing life.
MISSION STATEMENT
You give passionately to your work, love your family fiercely,
and hold everything together for everyone.
My passion is to support exhausted women like you reconnect to your inner wisdom so that you can reclaim your life, your health, and your power.
The stress, overwhelm and perhaps burn-out are starting to affect your health and your attitude and outlook on life. The pace and direction you are living is no longer feeling supportive or sustainable.
I hear you.
If you’re ready, I can help you reconnect with yourself.
Through rest, learning to pay attention to the signals of your body, quieting the thoughts in your mind, feeling the emotions of your life, calming your nervous system, and listening to your own inner wisdom, you can make a difference in your life.
You can change the trajectory of your health, work and relationships.
You can re-claim your life, your health and your power.
I’d be honored if you would allow me to be your guide.
My Story
A large part of my story is an ending. I was serving churches as a clergy-woman for several years, trying to balance parish work, raising a family, and sharing a loving relationship with my clergy-husband.
As a woman in a primarily male-dominated field, I felt that I needed to work harder and better than everyone else (you know the story) and I also held the seen and unseen work-load at home.
Over time my health started showing me signs of being unwell and was eventually diagnosed with several autoimmune disorders. But, not to be stopped, I just kept at it - until one day I woke up and knew I could not sustain the way I was living. I had to give up what I had fought hard for, what I loved doing, and what I was called to do. That awareness, changed the trajectory of my life and that of my family.
Over a period of years, I tried several healing modalities, workshops, and trainings.
Today, I experience a life I never thought I would be able to have. I have learned and developed several amazing tools, recipes, and prescriptions for healing that I’ve been able to share with many women.
Today, my calling is different. I don’t want anyone to have to give up what they love when there is a way to live with heart wisdom and guidance.
My work is based in intuitive, inner wisdom. I believe in the strong healing connection of the earth, the restorative power of rest, the importance of sacred ritual and spirit-led practices. I believe in the healing power of a community of like-minded souls.
I also believe the nourishment of our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls is essential to lives that flourish - and believe that is possible for you.

My Experience
When I finally met myself, I discovered a passion steeped with heart wisdom and compassionate listening and leading. Weaving the sacred threads of my life, the deep sadness and the great joy brings the sacred to the light in all that I do with blessings and gratitude.

My Approach
heart-centred and intuitive
I offer my work with you from my heart with great kindness and caring. I am guided by my intuitive wisdom to offer support for you
restful, practical, nourishing, and calm
I practice a restful life (as best I can), so my work with you comes from that place. I offer practical recipes, tools, and prescriptions to not waste your time but to enhance your well-being. My natural essence is one of calm.
ritual and blessing
I weave a connection of earth based rituals, spirituality, and blessings into my work with you.
A few interesting things about me…
Right now, home for me is Texas.
I’m the eldest of three. I have two children and five precious grandchildren. I have lived in eleven different states in the United States, including Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Colorado.
I’m drawn to textures that bring comfort and connection to a space.
I love creating beautiful, peaceful welcoming spaces for friends, family and colleagues to gather. All the better if there is a meal around the table, my hearth.
I love walking labyrinths.
My favorite labyrinth design is the 11 circuits design of the Chartres Cathedral in France. I have been blessed to receive great insights and healings as I have walked over the years. There is something about stopping and turning that speaks to my soul.
Walking barefoot is a daily practice.
I believe that nature is a great healer and I try to put my bare feet on the ground everyday just to connect with its energy.
It would be an honor to support you.
