In Their Own Words...

I have been in Spiritual Direction with Traci for over 3 years and feel so blessed that she has been a part of my life journey. She is always prepared and humbly directs with an open, loving heart. I'm moving forward in my life with Traci's Spiritual Direction and now believe in my "Belovedness".
Thank you, Traci.
