I am a gardener.

When I moved to the Willamette Valley, I would not have described myself as a gardener. The house I moved into had LOTS of flowerbeds, all of them overgrown with weeds. “Not My Garden,” I would mutter, as I worked on one bed after another. I worked hard, enlisted lots of help, and seven years later, flowers & foods blossomed.

Inner gardening, as well as outer, takes a lot of work. I have tended my inner garden over the years with good help from companions and guides and with the Sacred. And I have come to welcome others, to be their companion as they seek a clear path, weeds removed, beauty to behold.

I have earned a M.Div. and have had experience in parish ministry as well as directing Recovering Women Ministries, a project that provided individual counseling, alternative worship and spirituality groups for women recovering from chemical dependency, co-dependency, sexual &/or domestic violence, and abusive religious systems. I am a certified Spiritual Guide. I have experience and training in individual and group spiritual guidance.

I use she/her pronouns.

What People Are Saying

  • Barb

    I have twice participated in Diana's workshop, Journey Without Maps. Diana provides a confidential, safe, welcoming space for personal reflection and discovery. While the process itself is simple and enjoyable, for me the results have been gently profound and long lasting. On one occasion, I saw clearly that it was time to retire, and I did!

    Diana facilitates the group through deep attention to people and process. She ensures that all participants are heard and respected. Drawing on her finely honed creativity and years of experience, Diana finds just the right vehicle for responding to each person's story. She suggests everything from words of affirmation, to group hugs, to singing, to a round of applause. I always left feeling valued, affirmed and energized. I recommend her workshops to anyone seeking insight into themselves and their personal journey.

  • Lisa B.

    Journey Without Maps is an experiential workshop that provides a safe space to explore where you are, where you hope to be, and what is blocking you. With others, art, ritual, sharing and song are used to gently guide you. This workshop is a wonderful mix of self-reflection, guidance and group work. It is well worth the evening/day spent.
