About Donna, Your Coach

 
 
My calling has been to companion with those in life transitions who are desiring to move beyond what they think they can do to what God thinks they can do. In my career I’ve experienced business takeovers, lay-offs, unemployment, and the ups and downs of self-employment. I’ve journeyed through seasons of grief in the loss of my dad as a young child and my mother as an adult. I understand both the pain of transition and the good God can work within us in difficult times.

I’ve been in church since my conversion in 10th grade. I’ve seen the beauty of Jesus’s body caring in love, and like most folks, I have a few scars, too. I began a reconstruction of my own faith about ten years ago, and came out the other side renewed in my faith by God’s grace and the Spirit’s patient counsel.

In the midst of my reconstruction I was introduced to the contemplative areas of Christianity through authors like Dallas Willard and Gerald May, whose books joined other favorites in my bookshelf (like C.S. Lewis, Vance Havner, Madeline L’Engle, to name a few.) I learned about things like spiritual formation, walking labyrinths, centering prayer, and Ignatian spirituality.

My Approach To Direction

I practice spiritual direction in the contemplative – evocative method. This approach to spiritual direction values open-ended questions and offers invitations to deeper reflection and noticing during the time of direction.

The focus Of Spiritual Direction is two-fold. First, it is spiritual, and is therefore different from counseling, therapy, coaching or mentoring. Secondly, spiritual direction acknowledges that the Holy Spirit is the director.
