Are you seeking a closer, more meaningful relationship with Spirit? One in which you feel increasingly more accompanied, loved, guided and supported?

Hello, I'm Dianne Edleman, a spiritual director since 2011. I welcome all, but mainly work with women over 50 who wish to navigate the challenges of midlife and aging through a deeper connection with Spirit.

Our monthly sessions are confidential conversations. You can talk about anything: work, health, relationships, loss, grief, LGBTQ issues, anything. It's all relevant to your spirituality.

The focus is on helping you notice how the sacred is already at work in your life. I listen. I ask thoughtful questions. When helpful, I offer gentle feedback that may prompt new perspectives.

Contact me to set up a time to talk. You can tell me about your spiritual journey so far. Ask questions. Get a sense of how we might work together. There's no obligation.
