Natalie/Nan Maxson

Natalie (she/her) is a parent, an activist, a creative and contemplative. She has spent most of her professional life working on social justice advocacy and building community with all ages. She comes from a Christian background and tends towards the works of the mystics. She completed the Pacific Jubilee SoulGuiding program in 2022.

Her approach to accompaniment is rooted in anti-oppressive values. Issues of chronic pain, parenting, vocational discernment, grief, loss, climate anxiety, decolonization, LGBTQ+, compassion fatigue/burn out, religious trauma and life transitions are areas she is familiar with. She is attentive to her spiritual life through silence, music, daily walks, SoulCollage and connecting with the land. Each person’s story is unique. She always feels humbled and privileged to accompany another on their journey.
