“I believe, help my unbelief!”

Mark 9:24b

For years I have felt these words ache from the marrow of my bones, “I believe, help my unbelief!” Life, in all its beauty, is often painful and confusing. Grief and trauma take up residence in our bodies, painting our experiences and understanding with new colors that distort the places where we once knew beauty and wholeness. And generations of inherited grief and trauma have passed down to us a distorted lens and relationship with the Divine.

It’s time to wake up; time to unwind narratives that have kept people marginalized and cast aside for far too long. We are being pressed to unravel these stories from our bodies that have been carried in our bones and passed through generations – stories that tell us that connection is unattainable, that we are unworthy, unlovable, unredeemable.

It’s time to rewrite our story and heal the spiritual wounds that we’ve been handed. It’s imperative that we ask the hard and scary questions that are easier to avoid. We are beckoned to sit with the grief and loss that exists in a belief system that has left us shackled instead of free; that demands conformity and uniformity instead of transformation and diversity.

This is a sacred and holy journey.

The work is SLOW and deeply intentional.

I am here to serve as a spiritual director, and guide to those who are ready to sit with the Divine in the hard spaces. To companion those who are unafraid to ask the deep, hard, and taboo questions. My calling is to serve those who find themselves on the margins – wondering if they will ever find belonging.

I don’t have all the answers.

What I do have is spaciousness for you to ask and explore. I have curiosity to dive into the deep with you. And I have an academic foundation in Biblical Studies and Grief and Embodiment Studies, along with twenty years of lived ministry experience to bring into our time together. I live in the depths and have often found myself exploring alone, looking for companions along the way. I believe there are many of us here, just waiting to find one another.

If you are ready to reclaim your faith, I am here to walk with you. There is space for YOU here. You are deeply loved, and you belong. Bring your doubts, your hope, and your hopelessness. They are a vital part of this journey. This path is sure to carry grief, sorrow, and disappointment. But it will also open you to beauty, wonder, depth, joy and an abundance of connection.

It would be my deepest honor to join you in the journey.

Testimonials

I have had the privilege of having Hether witness and speak into the darkest seasons in my life. Her presence is calm, free of judgment of right or wrong action, and creates a container of safety for her clients to explore what lies beneath the surface. She gently peels back the layers of conversation allowing for reflection and integration at a pace that can be tolerated by the most our tender parts. Hether skillfully offers a lens to see life as a sacred and spiritual journey to be embraced, and her ability to walk through places of grief and growth with her clients helps us find our way home. Nurturing, patient, and wise are words that come to mind when I think of Hether’s way of guiding.
– M.C.

Hether has traveled deep into her own grief, learned much, and is now a wise guide for others exploring their own grief. With sensitivity, intuition and insight into how our bodies hold experiences and emotions, she gently led me to greater awareness of what my body was holding and how I could release it. She’s an amazing resource for those on a healing journey.

– M.B.

 What makes Hether’s process so unique and effective is the incorporation of the body into her coaching practice. Talk therapy is still part of my wellness routine and it absolutely has its benefits, however, adding coaching along with movement, meditation, breathing techniques and body awareness has increased my mental health and self-awareness. Her practice meets a need that not many coaches in the field are aware of, focusing specifically on the grief women experience in life, pregnancy, motherhood, and beyond. Highlighting the disappointments and frustrations that are unique to women, and bringing them to the surface to be dealt with is more than therapeutic. Now, more than ever, women are expected to aspire to and achieve goals that were perhaps not meant for us, leaving us to deal with a sense of loss, frustration, and confusion. Hether attempts to acknowledge where we as individuals stopped listening to ourselves, and started replacing our voice with the voices of others. She has taught me that honoring my voice and my journey is honoring all the women who came before me and all those who will come after. Coaching with Hether is time and money well spent. – E.S.
