A safe place to lay down the burdens of your heart....

There are times when life gets challenging and answers don't come easily. After 20 years in parish ministry, Deb has heard stories from people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. She has heard stories of people struggling with crises of faith or understandings of their sexuality; those who have had experiences that still leave them feeling guilt or shame; those who have been deeply hurt by the people and institutions entrusted with their care.

People hesitate to share these stories. They bring up old pain, certainly. Often, loved ones find it hard to hear them. Sharing may seem merely to be a transferring of burden, a burden no one wants to cast onto a loved one's shoulder.

That's where Sanctuary comes in. Webster's defines Sanctuary as "a consecrated place, a place of refuge and protection" and that is what you are offered.

Sanctuary is the place to break through the blocks, get some clarity, and strategize. As a priest used to hearing confessions, Deborah holds confidentiality as a sacred gift. For those who have been holding their pain deep within their hearts, the compassion and affirmation they receive are miraculously freeing and healing. And as an Angel Lady, Deborah is open to the guidance and insights of your angels and heavenly helpers. Sanctuary offers the best of all worlds to help you regain balance and move forward with a peaceful heart.

Here in the cosy comfort of our little cottage in Niagara-on-the-Lake, you will find a place to vent, to unpack circumstances that are causing concern and share your journey with someone who understands. And, in this place of Sanctuary we create a holy space where refreshment, affirmation and clarity can be found and total confidentiality is assured.

For those who live at a distance, Deborah offers telephone sessions in the comfort of your own sacred space.

All sessions are 60 minutes in length, the fee for which is $100. Call 905-468-8448 for more information and to book your appointment.

Payment can be made via cheque, internet email transfer or Paypal.
