Letters from the Middle

Reflections from the middle of it all — grief, grace, and growth.

The writing is a living part of this practice. Read it before you decide whether to sit in my chair or work with me personally.

Life in the middle

The Middle Is Not a Waiting Room

We treat the in-between as a hallway to hurry through. But the middle is where most of life actually happens — and where we are most quietly changed.

Stories from the salon chair

What the Chair Has Heard

Eighteen years behind the chair, and the mirror has shown me more grief and becoming than any training ever could. A reflection on listening as a craft.

Grief and praise

Grief and Praise Live in the Same House

We are taught to hold loss and joy as opposites. In my experience they share a roof, and learning to let them sit at the same table has changed me.
