About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	I hail originally from the Ottawa River Valley, so a pine tree growing out of a rock feels like home. It’s also a great metaphor for how I see the world; sometimes beauty and new life can grow out of seemingly harsh and broken places. On the way to finding my vocation, I attended the University of Toronto (B.A.) and Emmanuel College of the United Church of Canada (M. Div.) I was Ordained by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading, Massachusetts, and served congregations in Reading, Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario as parish minister. I have training in counselling (including as an accredited Prepare/Enrich marriage enrichment and pre-marital counsellor), justice ministry, hospital and mental health chaplaincy and training, have taught preaching to UU students at Emmanuel College and for several years lectured on Spirituality and Health for McMaster University’s Michael G. Degroote School of Medicine. After more than 25 years in service as lay person, chaplain and Ordained Minister, I retired from full-time parish ministry to serve the Spirit of Love wherever I find her. It turns out she finds me on a pretty regular basis!
