Serving UU individuals, congregations and groups
Are you struggling to connect with your faith and your body during this pandemic?
Are you a UU religious professional experiencing more fatigue or feeling "disembodied"?
Do you serve a congregation and wish to help those you serve feel more grounded?
Do you wish you felt more resilient? More courageous?
Individuals
I work with individual Unitarian Universalists interested in beginning an embodied healing or somatic practice. Individual appointments are available by Zoom or phone. Similar to spiritual direction or pastoral counseling, I provide a supportive space to explore specific issues and stresses you're facing. Our work together is not prescriptive; instead, together we listen to your body, access the stories that have taken shape there, and then, connect to new practices.
Groups
I work with UU groups (lay and professional) who are interested in collaborating with their bodies in living their faith or healing their spirits. Using a UU theological lens, I offer consulting with leaders, support group offerings, retreats or workshops. These offerings can be tailored to the needs of the group.
Congregations
I am available to preach, lead workshops, or or teach in congregations.
Rates are on a sliding scale and mid-point is approximate to prevailing UUMA professional rates. Please inquire below about specific rates.
If you are visiting me here, I also encourage you to sign up for my midweek reflection, Immersed.

supporting people with chronic and long-term conditions
As people of faith, we are called to act in response to the growing numbers and spiritual needs of people with chronic health conditions in our communities across ages and identities. UU congregations wish to be supportive and resilient communities. People with chronic health conditions often face personal struggles and micro-aggressions that limit their involvement. The challenges are immense and sometimes hidden from our day-to-day community life: dealing with a chronic illness can often be a full-time job and people who have chronic conditions and their families often face invisibility, economic instability and poverty, and are under-insured for the health needs they have. In order to accept direction from those most directly by systems of oppression, we have to come to address issues of the body and its resilience in our work toward collective liberation. If we learn about the experiences of people with chronic conditions, we can better partner with people who experience pain, fatigue, and other chronic health issues, widening our circles of caring community as well as leadership.
I am available to help your congregation better support people with chronic and long-term conditions of all ages. The Coping in Community support group model was developed and piloted then offered at several congregations. The original groups are still going strong after several years. It was then expanded through support from the UUA's Joseph Gittler Religion and Ethics grant and Fund for UU Scholarship.
