Spiritual Direction "addresses what is in one’s daily life as one prays their way through life’s complex decisions and interpretations of their spiritual experiences in those everyday life circumstances." Fr. Joseph Tetlow, SJ
Spiritual Direction is for those who desire to grow in their personal relationship with God, self-revealed in Jesus Christ, to know Him more intimately, to follow Him more closely, to love Him more dearly; to grow in virtue and holiness, to have a deeper prayer life, and to learn to listen more attentively to the Holy Spirit to discover God the Father's will for their life.
The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius is a school of prayer in which we progress toward living more intimately and consistently in the mystery of Christ’s love for us by coming to know who He is through His humanity and divinity.
It is a journey of conversion with experience that unfolds and emerges as we grow in the capacity to bear more grace (Sr. Janet Ruffing) and to be filled more with God. In this journey of transformation, we are gifted within this developmental mystical experience as the Spirit takes us to the next step of ongoing, successive transformations; nothing is ever the same again.

About Karen
As an Ignatian-trained retreat and spiritual director, my ministry practice focuses on cura personalis: the whole person. It's listening with you (together with the Holy Spirit) to where you sense God is drawing you, and sharing what I've learned from the teachings and wisdom of the Church’s spiritual tradition.
Moreover, as a retired chiropractic physician, I am here to help you understand how God designed us and to care for your body and soul, giving glory to God. Through a life of prayer, one discovers God's desires for us to flourish in service with Christ. May my years of clinical experience and ongoing studies in evidence-based well-care, stress management, and spiritual care, with a focus on the Ignatian tradition, offer you the support you seek.
