Meet Michelle

I am a compassionate, intuitive spiritual director and pastor whose passion is to walk beside people on their spiritual journeys and to hold space for each person to connect more deeply to God. Most of all, I am a beloved child of God.

My vibrant Christian faith grounds me with a strong sense of God faithfully walking beside me. Through the more challenging seasons in my life (dad’s death at age 20, depression, infertility, and Mono then chronic illness in my 40’s), my faith deepened each time as I profoundly experienced Jesus holding me close – not while doing ministry but simply resting and being loved by Him. Resting in the truth that I am deeply loved is the foundation of my ministry today.

I value continuing education and the rhythms of my own spiritual practices. This grounding and accountability with a spiritual direction supervision group ensures I am available to be the best spiritual director to you.

I live in Western Michigan with my husband and two school aged children. In my free time, I enjoy walking in nature, reading, photography, and playing board games with family and friends.
