Jesus said that he came to comfort the brokenhearted and to set the prisoners free.
Where do you currently find yourself stuck and longing for freedom?
What are your childhood stories of heartache?
These two questions are often related.
Storywork is a sacred space where we engage stories with empathy, care, and curiosity bringing new levels of integration, healing and freedom – where we ARISE.
Storywork coaching is not therapy, nor a substitute, but it is a powerful tool for transformation and growth.
“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”
– St. Francis of Assisi
Hi, I’m Terri
My story began under the stars in rural Minnesota. Surrounded by fields of wheat, corn and sunflowers, as a little girl, I loved staring into the pitch black sky mesmerized by the Milky Way, the Big Dipper, and the Northern Lights. In the midst of such sacred beauty, my story also had chapters of heartache, loss, and death.
Through training at The Allender Center in Narrative Focused Trauma Care, I have personally experienced levels of healing and freedom and have been equipped to guide others into their stories. My goal is to help you become more connected to yourself, to God, and to others.
I have a Master’s Degree in the New Testament from Talbot School of Theology and few things give me as much joy as watching God “heal the brokenhearted and set prisoners free” through the process of story engagement.
I’ve been married 34 years, am the mom of two adult sons (and one daughter-in-law), and make my home in the beautiful mountains of Utah!
Storywork Options
Storywork Groups
Being known and loved by others is the key to healing and becoming who you were meant to be. Storywork Groups consist of 6 other people who are each sharing their stories with one another. Through the engagement of a group, you will be offered unique care and encouragement around the pain you have experienced. The love and insight offered by others is life changing! Groups meet weekly for 6-7 weeks.
If you are interested in participating in my next online group or an in-person group in Utah, please send me an email to get on the list.
One-on-One Coaching
In one-on-one coaching, you will learn to write down your particular stories of heartache or harm. Together we will walk through these stories, processing the emotion and discovering what core beliefs and narratives were created that may need to be replaced with truth. Interwoven in heartache, you will also discover strength and beauty that is present in your stories and how God may want to redeem your heartache for the benefit of others.
If you are interested in exploring the possibility of Storywork Coaching (online or in-person in Salt Lake City, UT), please schedule a Complementary Consult.
Storywork Retreats
Storywork Retreats offer an undistracted time of connecting with God, others, and yourself. Through teaching, storywork groups and times of rest, you will come away with new levels of healing and understanding, helping you to arise and become all God wants you to be.
If you would like to be contacted about our upcoming retreats, please email me to get on the contact list.
