Spiritual Life Counselling
Spiritual Life Counselling with Deborah is a gentle dialogue that explores your questions and obstacles in a friendly and accepting environment. Any issue, lesson or challenge in our life involves our Spiritual Path, and our growth as a spiritual being. Finding the balance between our logical mind and our Spirit is essential for our journey into wholeness and happiness.
We might call it Intuitive Counselling, because the session is guided by Spirit as much as it is by Deb's wisdom. She has 20 years experience as priest and pastor, but hey, she also works with angels... so she is affirming of your own unique journey and open to insights that come from our angels and guides.
Because each session is structured within the spirituality of the client, those who are looking for spiritual direction will find in Deborah a wise and compassionate spiritual director with over twenty years of pastoral experience.
In the time together, answers come, clarification and affirmation is received, and next steps are understood.
Sessions with Deborah are 60 minutes in length, the fee for which is $100. Weekend and evening sessions can be accommodated. Phone sessions can also be arranged. Please call 905-468-8448.
We can accept VISA and Mastercard payments onsite or over the phone, or payment can also be made via cheque, internet email transfer or Paypal.

For those who wrestling with deeper issues and questions, Deb offers:
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.
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.
After the session with Deborah, you may consider carving out some time to feed your spirit by exploring the beauty of the Niagara region. Go for a drive along the Niagara Parkway. Spend time in quiet reflection beside the river. Or take a well-deserved play day and visit the area's great attractions, including world-class wineries and nearby Niagara Falls. We can also recommend some tranquil B&Bs that offer a wonderful respite and a restorative time away.
For those who live at a distance, Deborah offers telephone sessions in the comfort of your own sacred space.
All sessions are one hour in length, the fee for which is $100. Follow up visits or phone calls may be arranged at $50 per session. Call 905-468-8448 or for more information.

Therapeutic Touch and Energy Treatments
Therapeutic Touch has been around since the 1930s and in the last 15 years has gained recognition by the medical and scientific worlds as having many beneficial applications. TT is being taught world-wide in hospitals to staff and is gaining popularity among non-medical types.
While the name suggests touch, the treatment is actually hands-off, with the practitioner working an inch or two over the surface of the skin, smoothing and balancing the client's energy field. It is gentle and non-invasive, with no need for the client to disrobe, and can take place seated or on a massage table, whatever is more comfortable for the client.Deb has been a practitioner of Therapeutic Touch for more than 16 years. Because of her interest in the Laying on of Hands and healing work, it is a natural extension of her skill. Each session is approximately a half-hour in length and is a wonderfully relaxing and healing treatment in a quiet and calm environment.
Deborah's fee for a basic session is $60.
To enhance the treatment, a guided visualization/meditation to effect even deeper healing benefits can be included for an additional $25. Some weekends and evenings can be accomodated. To book a session with Deborah, call 905-468-8448.Payment can be made via cheque, internet email transfer or Paypal.
