Come Home to Yourself
with a Spiritual Companion
Carol M. Furlong
As you read through my website, I invite you to listen to your heart, your intuition and all your senses. Should you feel drawn to any concept, idea, or gentle nudging of your heart, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
How Can I Help You?
Through meeting monthly and learning to listen to your body. I will accompany you as you become aware that life doesn't need to be controlled. But rather, life can be lived and experienced fully.
Is life challenging?
As your Spiritual Companion, I will accompany you as you move from one stepping-stone to another on your life journey to be more open to the Spirit within you. As you face your challenges, you are not alone.
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming.
When you are out of touch with the essence of who you are, it can express itself with destructive patterns. As you face each challenge, I am here to accompany you and to hold you gently as you find a way forward.
Within the challenges are opportunities to discover the open doors.
There is always an opening to love in the edges of living that invites us forward. I invite you to accept my guiding presence, my compassionate heart, my confidential ear to help you become aware of those open doors.
As you look for the MORE in your life
I will accompany you as you find with God's grace, the warmth and comfort in your life that you seek and desire.
Many approaches can miss the approach to God
This not an individual therapeutic journey. There is MORE with the spiritual path. This is a communal journey to be experienced and supported. I invite you to discover your strength in the essence of who you are. I'm here to walk with you to find hope
I know in the marrow of my bones that you are the expert
I invite you to grab hold of the opportunity to learn how to trust your feelings. We have been given bodies which have their own language -- feelings. I am here to guide you as you learn to listen to, trust, and accept your feelings as valid and real.
