    Dear Reader, I write with you in mind mind…

Hi, I’m Terra.

I’m a spiritual director, teacher, and writer who loves making space for people of all ages to tune into their own souls!

After starting my career in sociology and demography, I spent two decades in church planting ministries in Houston and Austin. After a season of loss and upheaval, spiritual direction helped me heal and rebuild.

IT’S MY JOY TO HOST THAT KIND OF LISTENING SPACE FOR OTHERS NOW
