“My first session with Lorilyn allowed me to breathe and physically feel the weight in my heart that I had been ignoring. I’m a naturally introspective person, but I had missed deep parts of myself that had been silenced and am grateful to Lorilyn for holding the space for me to begin reclaiming them.“
“Lorilyn has helped me feel close to God again and has helped me be more willing and able to hear the hurts and pains of others, especially those whom I love.“
“Lorilyn helped me see myself the way God sees me. She gave me tools and spiritual practices to help me deepen my relationship with God and gently reminded me of — and showed me — God's grace and love. “
“Lorilyn has become one of my spiritual mentors and I consider her my pastor in many ways. I have never met anyone like her and consider myself fortunate and blessed to have her in my life.“
“I was afraid I was losing my sense of God’s closeness and I began doubting my faith. Over my eight years of meeting with Lorilyn, I have a restored sense of God’s nearness and a realization that uncertainty about faith matters does not mean I have lost my faith.”
“I was finally able to identify the connection between physical pain I had been experiencing with the fears and stress I had ignored, possibly in the name of spirituality, for so long. Now I feel lighter and am more gentle with myself.”
“One-on-one spiritual direction was new to me, yet Lorilyn made the process feel safe and immediately comfortable. I have never been in a situation where I felt so completely heard.“
“I brought to my meeting with Lorilyn a painful church experience that left me bereft of the comfort church had always provided me. I felt desperate and angry and deeply hurt. Being met with compassion by Lorilyn, and having her welcome and share my grief was enormously healing.”
“Spiritual direction with Lorilyn has helped me to live with God in the present moment. As a result of our work, my life feels simpler and more peaceful and I feel more like the person I was intended to be.”
“Lorilyn gracefully helped me slow down and listen to God’s voice within me. I have become more connected and compassionate towards myself and others.”
