Jeanne Marie Merkel, M.Div.

Caring Interfaith Spiritual Support through Life’s Many Transitions. 

 Honoring the Wisdom of Nature’s Healing Ways And the Cycles of Transformation

 During our individual sessions together we engage in soulful conversation to place the issues you are working with in a spiritual perspective and help you connect with your own source of intuitive guidance and wisdom.

Often, even one session can help you shift the way you make meaning of your experience.

We can also incorporate into our sessions: dream work, the sacred play of art & ritual, energy work, work with our medicine wheel, healing music or power songs, meditative journeying, walks in the woods or along the shore, guided meditations, and time to  connect with Spirit in whatever way is comfortable for you.

My aim is to help you develop resources for living more fully in rhythm with Spirit, Nature and your own Soul.

Feel free to come for one session, or as many as you feel you need.

Before you come, think about what you would like to incorporate into your session and feel free to ask for what you need. 

Knowing how hard it is to ask for what we need, I repeat: You have full permission to ask for what you need.

Sessions: 90 minutes

$65 (Sliding Scale available)

These sessions can be held in Mattituck, NY at a beautiful waterfront retreat, or I can come to your home.

It is also possible to have a phone session if you live at a distance. Email me to arrange a session. anamcaracenter@earthlink.net
