How chaplaincy works
Normally, a chaplain provides spiritual and emotional support in a non-religious organization such as a hospital, hospice, law enforcement, prison, school or the military. The organization pays the modest salary that chaplains receive.
A chaplain holds a non-judgmental space for people to ask difficult questions of themselves, God, or their circumstances. They help people access any religious or spiritual needs or pray with them in their own tradition. They listen generously and help people begin to find the inner and outer resources to meet their challenges.
Chaplaincy recognizes that we are all spiritual beings having a mortal experience, full of challenges and opportunities. Spirituality is about your worldview and purpose, mortality and values, strengths and connectedness. Religiosity can be a part of that for many people, including sacred stories and sacraments, specific beliefs, and usually a community. Both spirituality and religion embrace finding meaning and holiness. They bring energy, hope, and power beyond ourselves to our trials AND to our victories.
So what if you are not part of any of those organizations? You will find a safe place to be yourself. I believe in human kindness. I'm here for you whether religious or not. Fell free to reach out if you should have any additional questions.

My vision is to provide the same professional spiritual care to individuals in distress outside of an agency, just as if you were in a hospital or hospice or law enforcement or the military. I see huge needs all around, and I deeply cherish the part of chaplaincy where there is no talk of compensation or money at all. I feel that this role is a sacred trust and a privilege to be a channel of grace.
I graciously accept donations, which are sometimes offered but never requested. Up to now, donations and coaching revenue have been generous and sufficient to fund expenses. Thank you!
