Tending Sacred Spaces

Meet Sher

The friend you want to have coffee with when sorting through life, I’m here to listen deeply, offer insights and encouragement and to walk with you through whatever season of life you are in. 

I value integrity and honesty. Deep and direct conversations are lifegiving to me, and I bring clarity and structure in discernment situations. I am thoughtful and thorough in my approach to all things and empower others towards positive action.

Rooted in the Anabaptist tradition, my theological training and two decades of ministry experience inform my work. As an ordained minister in Mennonite Church USA I have served as a congregational pastor and leader in church-related organizations and non-profit spaces.

Born in Canada, I grew up in a pastor’s family and moved to the United States in middle school. I studied at University and Seminary on the East Coast and now make my home on a fifth generation farm in the Midwest with my family.

The time spent with Sher is time well spent.  Through listening and asking appropriate questions, she helped me look at what I bring from my past, how that has formed me to be who I am today, and what changes I may want to make to become who God made me to be.

“Sher has an incredible gift of calm presence combined with an empathic ear that leaves each interaction with her feeling like you were heard and the conversation was meaningful.”

I was amazed by her insights, and caring!  Sher truly blessed me and invited me to grow in my caregiving role.

Sher walked with us through two difficult medical diagnoses. She is a patient and perceptive listener. She cares about how we deal with challenges and how we feel spiritually about those journeys.

Sher provided caring support and encouragement during my husband’s 2-year illness, his death and in the fog and grief of widowhood. I am grateful for her insights, compassion and support during the most difficult time of my life. She has wisdom beyond her years, and is gifted in helping others experience God’s care and guidance.

When my spouse of 53+ years was surprisingly diagnosed with terminal cancer, Sher combined with God’s leading up a high mountain to climb,  leveled the journey by her knowing what to say, when to say it, and  how to say it!  She provided comfort, calmness, and smoothed out the rough road to help us through this journey. I can not thank her enough!.

Sher is thoughtful, discerning, and empathetic. I’ve seen her navigate tricky interpersonal and faith community conversations with clarity and compassion, listening but also guiding when necessary. She made me feel normal in my doubts, questions and grief.

Sher is a person who is empathetic, a good listener, can relate to many circumstances that come along life’s journey.

Sher walked with me through an extremely difficult six years while I was a caregiver for my husband who had Lewy Body Dementia. She listened, encouraged, asked helpful questions to guide me, instilled confidence in me that I was capable, prayed for me and provided spiritual guidance. I will be forever grateful.
