Let's Work Together
Earth‑rooted spiritual companioning, personalized ceremonies, and interspecies chaplaincy,
Serving Maine’s Coastal Corridor — Knox & Lincoln Counties, Belfast, and Portland
My Working Approach
Working with me is an invitation into presence — with yourself, with the land, and with the thresholds shaping your life.
My ministry is grounded in earth‑based spirituality, compassionate witnessing, and ceremony that honors the cycles of being human through coming of age, sacred partnership, celebrations of life, interspecies relationships and companioning.
I offer a steady, reverent place to land.
Services Offered
Spiritual Companioning
Spiritual companioning is a quiet, spacious hour to listen for what is emerging in your life.
I companion you with grounded presence, curiosity, and respect for your inner wisdom.
Sessions may include guided reflection, gentle ritual, nature‑based practices, and support for life transitions or spiritual discernment.
Sessions are available in person in Midcoast Maine.
Sessions may include:
-
Guided reflection
-
Gentle ritual
-
Nature‑based practices
-
Support for life transitions and spiritual discernment
This space is offered in a spirit of reverence and care. What I share comes from spiritual companionship, not psychotherapy, and I’m not a therapist. If you ever need support from a mental‑health professional, I can help guide you toward resources that honor both your wellbeing and your journey.
Rites of Passage & Personalized Ceremonies
Life is full of thresholds — some celebrated, some carried quietly.
I create custom ceremonies that honor these moments.
Common rites include weddings and handfastings, coming‑of‑age rituals, identity‑affirming ceremonies, end‑of‑life blessings, vigils, memorials, divorce or separation rituals, and seasonal or personal renewal rites.
Each ceremony is crafted collaboratively, shaped by your story, your values, and the land you call home.
Interspecies Chaplaincy & Animal Rituals
For many of us, our relationships with animals are sacred.
I offer companion‑animal chaplaincy that supports you through illness, aging, loss, and the tender in‑between spaces with you animal companion.
This may include blessings, grief tending, memorials and rituals of release, and support during difficult decisions.
This work honors the truth that our kinship extends beyond the human world which, by the way, we as a species make up only 0.01% of all species on planet earth.
How We Begin
Step 1 — Free 20‑Minute Connection Call
A simple conversation to identify your needs and timing.
You can share what’s calling you, and I’ll describe what working together might look like.
Step 2 — Choose Your Path
We’ll discern whether you’re seeking ongoing spiritual companioning, a single ceremony, or chaplaincy support.
Step 3 — Crafting the Container
For ceremonies, we co‑create the shape and tone.
For companioning or chaplaincy, we establish a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable.
My Approach
My work is relational, and rooted in reverence.
I honor your autonomy, your lived experience, and the wisdom already present in your life.
I do not rush, diagnose, or impose.
Instead, I offer presence and a grounded spiritual container where transformation can unfold in its own time.
