An invitation

There is room to simply be.

In the midst of life's questions, transitions, and ordinary moments, spiritual direction offers space to listen—to your own heart and to the gentle movements of God. You don't need to arrive with answers. You are welcome just as you are.

A little about me

Welcome, I'm Melinda.

For many years, I've had the privilege of accompanying people through seasons of spiritual growth, healing, and change.

My approach is shaped by contemplative Christian and Ignatian spirituality, deep listening, and a trauma-informed understanding of how God meets us in both our pain and our beauty.

As a certified spiritual director trained through Sustainable Faith, I offer a compassionate, unhurried space to notice together what God may be inviting you into.

I'm also co-founder and co-director of Face to Face Network and Immanuel Institute, where my work includes training and mentoring others in the Immanuel Approach. This work builds on more than two decades of experience in inner healing prayer ministry.

With a Master of Arts in Communication and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, I've long appreciated the importance of story, presence, and the art of listening.

What is spiritual direction?

Listening together for God.

Spiritual direction is not about being told what to do. It is a sacred, prayerful relationship in which we make room for your questions, longings, and experiences—and become more attentive to God's presence in the midst of them.

Retreats & sacred spaces

Space to listen, rest, and reconnect.

Sometimes a change of pace—and a place set apart—helps us notice what has been quietly stirring within. As opportunities for retreats and gatherings take shape, I look forward to sharing them here.

Be love.

Perhaps the invitation begins here: to slow down, receive the love of God, and carry that love into the world around us.
