My soul’s purpose is to bring healing and awakening to those who share my calling so they may support the healing and awakening in others.
To help others transform, we must ourselves transform. To end suffering on this planet, we must connect to our own divine light.
This work will transform you, so you can access your innate gifts and follow your soul’s purpose—to facilitate deep transformation.
I bring healers and seekers to the bridge that carries them over the chasm of doubt, fear, and suffering and into the presence of what they have been longing for—their own divine light.
To heal, we must embrace our wounds, and we must learn to access our true nature, which is whole, wise, loving, and good. Accepting our humanity, on the one hand, and accessing our enlightened core, on the other, are parallel processes. We grow up as we wake up, and we wake up as we grow up.
I believe healing and awakening are relational, which means creating safe and intimate circles where people are invited to take the risks necessary for foundational change. Vulnerability and empowerment go together.
All my teachings emphasize the importance of presence and provide you with a program to access and stabilize a state of wellbeing.
You will move from a fear-based operating system to an awareness-based operating system—increasing your capacity to be with whatever arises in you and whatever arises in the world around you.
In 2024, my long-time business partner, Barti Bourgault, and I co-created The Institute for Healing and Awakening to bring people like you—healers and seekers—into a loving relationship with themselves and with Spirit.
Our mission is to evolve global wellbeing and end suffering on this planet by connecting healers to their own divine light.
The institute offers trainings to support you in facilitating deep transformation and lasting change in your clients. Our circle includes coaches, therapists, spiritual directors, dietitians, and other healing practitioners.
Our trainings include Coaching with Spirit, an ICF Level 1 coach training, and Coaching IFS (Internal Family Systems), a series of advanced practitioner trainings and consultation groups.
We are building a community of grounded, attuned, and compassionate practitioners—a college of lightworkers—to spread the light of love to the world.
“The gifts I’ve received from being a student of Guthrie, and from being part of the Institute for Healing and Awakening community, are profound. I’ve created a real home within myself—a nourishing, loving, caring, considerate, playful home. And that inner home has reflected out into all of my relationships.”
