Linda Soto

Certified Spiritual Counselor | Conscious Joy Instructor

I believe we all have experienced traumatic events that have colored our world and shaped our lives.
What we’ve done with these traumatic imprints can gift us with the ability to mold ourselves, to make a powerful impact on our loved ones and all humanity.

I have experienced many traumatic events in my life. From near death experience, to childhood abuse, to grief in many forms including infertility and miscarriages, and caring for loved ones in declining health.
Using the tools I have learned I feel happier and more satisfied with myself and life in general than I could have ever imagined.

Decades of religious and spiritual studies, journaling, spoken word, music and movement therapy and other holistic health modalities, enable me to suggest a personalized plan for success.

Amanda Snyder

I was guided to be a Spiritual Counselor through Trust and Faith and I have been developing that spiritual muscle over many years. Seven years ago, God guided me to sell everything and move-without knowing where to go or what to do. I was inspired by a Knowing that allowed me to take the steps necessary to completely change my life. I had Trust in God and Faith that my Path would be revealed.

Lorri Gifford

Have you had a feeling of joy overcome you? Nothing extraordinary was going on…maybe you were washing dishes or driving to the store. It was just an in between ordinary moment and suddenly you felt a surge of pure joy? That happens to me now, all the time.

But that wasn’t always the case. For most of my life, I woke up feeling anxious. I constantly compared myself to others.

I was a people pleaser even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness. I thought that the “good life” was possible for everyone but me. I blamed my job, my finances, the weather, the government, even the person that cut me off in traffic for my misery. My life was focused on what I didn’t want and didn’t have. I had been on “the spiritual path” for years, decades even, and nothing seemed to help. I didn’t trust Spirit to have my back. I was an angry control freak living paycheck to paycheck.

Then I found Jennifer Hadley’s podcast and became part of the Masterful Living Community. I had a desire to “Walk my talk.” To be honest, I resisted at first. I was willing but not fully committed.

My breaking point, literally, came during an Improv Class. We were asked to pick and embody an emotion. I chose hopelessness. A feeling I was very familiar with. During the exercise, I broke my leg. Little did I know that that would be the best thing that ever happened to me. I doubled down on using my Spiritual tools, focused on releasing my resistance and started walking with Spirit. That was my clean break from a life filled with stress and anxiety.

That was in March of 2018.

Today, I am fully supported by Spirit, doing the work that I love, and my appointment book continues to fill up. I have paid off all of my credit card debt and have money in the bank. I have a support system of amazing friends and my relationship with my brother is completely healed. We laugh, joke, text and choose to spend time together. (5 years ago, if we were in the same room for more than 10 minutes a fight was pretty much guaranteed)

Letting go of the belief that I have to do it all by myself was the game changer. It turned my train wreck of a life around.

I’m now passionate about helping other control freaks break free from their anxiety.

Are you ready to break free from your anxiety, walk with Spirit, and start thriving? I’d love to support you in creating a profound and lasting change in your life.

Helping you brings me joy. That’s why I love being a Spiritual Counselor and would be honored to support you on your journey. I can be reached at: info@readingswithlorri.com or 910-208-0220.

Rieko Yamanaka

Despite being a lifelong spiritual student, I’ve spent many years of my life seeking happiness outside of myself and never finding it. As a dancer and designer, my biggest false idols were “a successful career” and “a perfectly healthy body.” It wasn’t until several attempts to “heal” my body through diets and cleanses completely backfired that I got down on my knees and made the decision to make spiritual practice my #1 priority. I joined

Araba Afenyi-Annan

A Miraculous life is not only possible, but available to everyone through the Power of Grace that lives in, around, and through us. I am passionate about helping others prove this in their lives; it’s been proven in mine. My life’s “disaster” has become my greatest blessing!

My intention is to continue to live a life of miracles in Freedom and Love, and to share miracles with others. ‎

Morgan Turner

One morning in 2016, as I listened to Jennifer Hadley’s podcast, she mentioned her Spiritual Counseling Certification Program. In that instant, I felt an undeniable knowing deep within me – I knew I would embark on that very journey one day. It was a clear and unquestionable calling, though I didn’t fully grasp it at the time. Now, I understand that what I heard was Spirit’s guidance, leading me to my true path.

I am a proud alumnus of the Masterful Living program. I am currently pursuing Prayer Practitioner and Spiritual Counseling certifications through the Power of Love Ministry. I co-facilitate small groups, including a support group for those struggling with addiction and their loved ones.

Mary Ann Cushing

Through much of my life, I felt unseen, filled with shame, empty, and miserable. I just couldn’t be what my family seemed to want me to be. I searched for happiness through years of counseling, meditation, and various healing practices. I began my study of A Course in Miracles, completed a 2-year program in spiritual psychology and psychosynthesis, and received advanced university degrees in counseling and school psychology. I desperately wanted to heal and to experience peace, but self-judgments and feelings of unworthiness persisted. Finally in 2019, Holy Spirit spoke through me of Its boundless love for me, leaving me feeling deeply cherished and in a state of profound peace. I began ACIM classes with Jennifer Hadley in 2020, and I connected with the innocence within my heart and with the truth that we are all innocent and perfect. Now I experience Holy Spirit’s peaceful presence with me throughout my days.

Tamisha Harriman

Today I live as the full expression of God’s love. I am joyful; I am lovable; I am harmonious, magnificent and peaceful. Every day I awake with a sense of readiness and curiosity about what miracles Spirit has waiting for me.

But it wasn’t always like this. I’ve lived a life of great suffering and used to dread facing the day. I spent most days mentally planning how to end my life. At age seven, I became the sexual experiment for the male members of my family, and by age 16, I’d been sexually abused more times than my age. Despite this, I knew I would be awakened to something more than a traumatized teenage girl in a small, impoverished village in Grenada. In 2012 with my face to the floor with depression, loneliness, and heart-wrenching unworthiness, A Course of Miracles became the spark that lit the path to my healing journey.

Mary Salvage

A joyful life is possible for everyone. I am dedicated to helping you access your own joy, no matter how far away it seems right now. I spent decades feeling helpless, unloved, and guilty for self-medicating. Deep down I knew I was lost and off the path. When I made the decision to allow God to use me for good, I was lifted up miraculously. I was able to see that everyone I thought didn’t like me was actually just suffering, too. Despite this experience, I went back to old habits until reaching a “dark night of the soul”. When I finally committed fully to God, grace lifted me once again. Spirit let me know this state of grace was available to everyone!

Betty Duvall

I’ve used drugs, been in drunken brawls, and perpetrated many criminal acts. All of which landed me in prison, not once but twice. If there was any good in me, it was gone, covered up by razor wire and chains. I was lost in a morass of hatred, anger and self-pity. I thought I was bad, beyond redemption. My only hope for the future was misery, another term in prison, or finding God.

In an esoteric sense, I knew there was a God. BUT……could anything save me ? I was very skeptical whether Jennifer’s program could help me. Somehow, as Spirit would have it, I found myself in one of Jennifer’s free classes. I asked her if she could help “someone” like me. In that brief exchange, something happened, a healing occurred. I had been SEEN. She looked into my eyes and saw my true nature. Something in me cracked open. I had been seen with the eyes of LOVE.

Kevin Haddle

Since I was born, I have been on a profound spiritual path to find God. As a child, I remember getting excited and having chills when I encountered mystical experiences. I always knew there was something better than the world I saw. Despite this knowing, the world got the best of me. I bought into the illusion. I was distracted by the matrix before me. I fell asleep for a minute in the dream but knew something was not right. I was not peaceful.

Beth Nyerick

As a special educator for 36 years, it was my joy to guide students toward their highest potential. I have a passion for unlocking the door to transformation. I bring this passion to my expanding practice as a spiritual counselor.

In 2021, after medical issues forced me to stop working, I felt helpless like I had no purpose. Jennifer’s work was an answered prayer. Teachings from Finding Freedom and the Spiritual Counseling Intensive led me to the Spiritual Counseling Certification Program. The counseling skills felt natural. It was similar to listening to students, parents and friends. It’s one of my strengths to listen and question in a way that brings forth new perspectives.

Deana Desjardins

I began awakening from the deep slumber that was my life in March of 2012. Around that time I began reading several key books that helped spark my awareness that life could have greater depth, more clarity, and less suffering. These books were The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard, and A Course in Miracles. In October 2016, desperate to make forward motion with all these new insights, I attended the “Forgive & Be Free” retreat, and met Jennifer Hadley.

Drusilla Talley-Williams

In 2014, I was desperately looking for answers to what seemed like an endless spiraling down of disappointments, disgrace, and betrayal in my marriage and my family. As someone who seemed to always have it together, being on the brink of divorce propelled me into hopelessness and finally a “dark night of the soul.” This breakdown led me to confiding in one of my older brothers (a Baptist Preacher), who suggested A Course in Miracles(ACIM) as a cure. After a few failed attempts to understand the lessons, the book went on a shelf to gather dust.

Steve Tipolt

Removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence.”, says it all for me. When we shed the layers of the things we no longer need, we are open to the beauty of what we really are. To remember that we can change our minds to a different thought system is how we can do this. And we can do this together.

Kel Lash

“I am so grateful and honored to be a spiritual counselor with Power of Love Ministry! I have been a passionate mental health therapist, hypnotist and life coach for youth and adults for 10 years. Three years ago, I felt called to pursue spiritual counseling after some traumatic relationships and physical health experiences.

These intense challenges led me on a deeply healing journey which completely transformed my self-loathing, intense fear, victim mentality and anxiety into deep peace, self-worth and self-love. I also experienced a full physical recovery in ways I never imagined possible when I was sick for so many years. The illness had caused me to become disabled and lose my identity and true sense of purpose. I now fully know that we can heal ourselves from within through the love of the Divine, which is really our own love. I am so grateful for these experiences because after receiving my own spiritual counseling and healing in masterful living class, and the guidance of the spiritual counseling program with Jennifer, I have truly found a love for myself and my life again. I now live with joy, peace, courage, freedom and purpose every day. I continue to learn new ways to love myself and others and to “walk the talk” of love. I am most passionate about working with people who are challenged by physical illness, victim thinking, career and finances, relationship heartbreak, parenting and teen challenges and LGBT issues. If you identify with any these challenges, pleas reach out to me! Clients have described me as loving, patient, calm, gentle, compassionate, relatable, encouraging, and envigorating. The spiritual counseling sessions and groups I have facilitated over the last two years have given me so much gratitude, joy and healing! I co-facilitate a mastery circle for the Ministry, “Love What You Do” to help people find joy and peace in their career or life’s “work”, whatever their “work” may be. In my free time I love to hike and camp, take my cat Butter on walks and camping trips, sing, play guitar, listen to music, spend time with friends and family, snack and watch Netflix! In addition to my work as a therapist, coach and spiritual counselor, my interviews have been featured in international summits and I offer workshops and support groups on the web and in Portland, OR. I would be deeply honored to work with you and help you discover the Truth about your Self. The Truth is that you are a beautiful, miraculous child of God, full of only love and light. You can truly heal anything and live the life that you desire, because you DESERVE it.”

Living my passion, Flowing finances, Miracles, Freedom from fear and resentment, Self Love

I used to think these things were for other people, but not for me. Ever since childhood I’d been anxious, depressed, and worried about money, all the time. I struggled daily with food and body image, constantly on and off diets, losing and gaining 30-50 pounds at a time. I lived in a cycle of fear and control. I thought I had to control everything and figure out how to be happy and successful. I thought it was up to me, and me alone, and I often felt scared and defeated. Yet under this, I always felt there had to be a better way. In 2018, I hit rock bottom emotionally: We were tens of thousands of dollars in debt; my husband had been fired from his job; and I was still struggling with food, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, like it had been most of my life. I resented everything- my job, my husband, daily tasks, and I felt alone and unlovable. I was constantly worried and anxious. I couldn’t trust anything or anyone, let alone myself or Spirit. That’s when I enrolled in Masterful Living. I had been studying A Course in Miracles and listening to Jennifer’s Podcast for about 18 months. I was scared. I wasn’t sure it would “work” for me, but I felt pulled by something greater than my little self, and really committed to “doing the work” to have healing. Since then, things have completely turned around. I do work that I am passionate about. Our finances are abundant and flowing and we even have savings. I feel calm and trust that everything is working out! Best of all, I didn’t have to do anything outside of myself. All of the healing happened at the level of my mind! Today, I am helping others to live better. I love to work with clients struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, food, and financial challenges, as well as clients that just know they are meant for something more, but aren’t sure how to “get there”. Seeing the light come on in my client’s eyes brings me so much joy, and I know, I know, that you too can change your life. Are you ready to have a miraculous shift in your life? I would be grateful to support you on your journey. Please reach out to me at: Sarah@Shearernutrition.com

Elena Starck

I thought that because I had such a messed-up childhood it would take me forever to find peace, harmony and freedom. Being raised by generations of single moms did not offer a paradigm for peaceful and inspired parenting, nor harmonious family relationships. I began my parenting journey feeling obsessed with and overwhelmed by my children’s challenges. It was the center of my mind’s attention 24/7. I felt trapped, overwhelmed, under pressure and was completely sucked into

Many of us have that one person or event in our lives that brings us great suffering. It could be a family member, a partner, a church, a job position, an illness, a death, or a great betrayal. Our feelings of anger, fear, and grief can mire us, keeping us feeling stuck – but, thankfully, this ‘stuckness’ often leads us to search for deeper meaning in our lives.
