About Patrice

My objective as a Soul Care practitioner is to provide a safe, supportive and life-affirming space for you to get in touch with your own inner wisdom, strength and resources to help you move forward with your life with hope, clarity, and renewed energy.

I am a spiritual seeker and highly curious about life. I have studied many different spiritual traditions and practices. I bring a diverse vocabulary and open-hearted stance to the exploration of the Divine in all its expressions.

I have devoted the last 20 years of my life to growing my soul. This means I am committed to an ongoing discernment and awareness of how to bring forth my unique gifts in service to my community and world.

My journey has included many major life transitions and turning points. I am attuned to those deep stirrings that point towards change and growth. I left a successful business career in management consulting to enter the ministry. I have traveled through many difficult and deep spaces within myself and with the people and communities I have served as an ordained minister and hospice chaplain for the last 15 years.

Now, working in private practice as a Soul Care practitioner, I work with clients in person and over the phone, from my home in the Boston area.

As well as companioning people on their spiritual and life journeys, an important part of my daily spiritual practice is to nurture my creative soul through poetry writing and piano improvisation.

My aspiration is to bring healing presence and greater self-awareness to all my interactions, and to share my creative and spiritual gifts as openly and freely as I can.
