As a regular trail runner, Spiritual Director and Leader in Running Fitness I find myself at the confluence of faith and spirituality, nature connection and embodied practice. I see people 1-1 from home or online as well as out walking or running in the Mendip area of Somerset where I live.

While my faith journey started in my late teens, my love of running came later – I discovered trail running in my late 40s. I find the gentler pace, changing terrain and natural sights and sounds give me freedom and space to reflect and restore balance, bringing new insights and fresh perspectives on life. It’s often a time that God speaks in quiet ways. In this way it is a great place and time to have a conversation with a Spiritual Companion so alongside my offering  of 1-1 sessions of Spiritual Accompaniment in person or online from home you can also book a session with me out in nature either walking or running.

At the heart of spiritual accompaniment is the question: 

Who is God for me, and who am I for God? 

My aim as a Spiritual Accompanier is to create a space where you can bring your whole self, joys and tears, into the presence of an eternally loving God. In this way I see spiritual accompaniment as a ministry of loving and compassionate presence, with a high value placed on the present moment, the here and now, and God’s presence with us in the midst of the conversation as the third person present (the Holy Spirit is the ultimate director). I hope to be an attentive, calm, welcoming presence; unhurried, non-anxious, listening and open. I envisage this as a way of being alongside you as you seek to make sense of your life under God. 

My roots are in the Christian tradition and I trained at Sarum College, Salisbury where I am now a tutor in Spiritual Direction. I am registered as a Spiritual Director with the Diocese of Bath and Wells and London Centre for Spiritual Direction. I am also a qualified Leader in Running Fitness by Athletics England.
