Hi, I’m Shari.
With 20 years experience in and out of faith spaces, institutions, and organizations - I have seen first hand that one of the greatest things we can do for one another is hold space.
That is where my practice was born.
I sit across from people and let them process their deep thoughts and questions without giving answers, cliches, or platitudes.
As a woman, wife, mother of grown children, and a fellow seeker - there have been many seasons of my life when I needed a safe space.
I hope I can be that for you.
Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.
~ Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak

What People Are Saying
“
“Over the years that I have been working with Shari, I have found confidence in my relationship with myself and the bravery to admit that things in life don’t always fit neatly together. I can say, hands down, that her listening ear, discernment and ability to help me deconstruct my core beliefs has changed the way I see myself, my family and my purpose in life.”

Shari created a safe and welcoming space to process my doubts, fears and hopes. A year in quarantine disrupted so much emotionally, relationally and spiritually. Having a place where I am seen, heard, and accepted every week is a gift.
