ABOUT ME

Hi. My name is Jenell Coker. I have been a religious leader for over 25 years. I am a certified spiritual director by way of the University of Redlands and San Francisco Theological Seminary. My spiritual journey is from the Christian tradition. I am LGBTQ-affirming and work often with people who want a life of spirituality but don't have the time, inclination, or ability to sit in meditation for hours on end. I am passionate about helping others find the Divine in everyday things. 

I live at home with my cat. dogs and husband and love to work in my pottery studio to center myself and find God in creativity.

Specialties:

  • Group spiritual direction and therapy focused on religious trauma and co-led with a licensed clinical social worker.

  • Spiritual practice for people who struggle to sit still due to ADHD, chronic pain, or type A personalities. 

  • Post-Christian or ex-evangelicals who are questioning where to go after a faith shift. 

  • Working with individuals looking to find embodied spirituality through creativity.

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.”

Howard Thurman
