Hello
I'm Tierney. Lover of sun-catchers, kale chips, bare feet in sand, holding little hands, apple cider vinegar, Celtic blessings, and watching the waves.
For me, there is nothing better than choosing kindness as a lifestyle, getting to glimpse those moments when sorrow and joy embrace, witnessing another overcome obstacles, finding personal interior freedom, and diving into the nitty gritty of what makes us healthy.
For my own journey, I get to walk closely with my husband and two wonderful children. We are most often found in the middle of a family dance party or exploring the beauty of creation. Long story short--I quite love this beautiful life.

Tierney has served in various positions in the churches she has been a part of and often serves individuals as they cross paths on their respective journeys toward healing.
Cheering others on to find health, healing, and wholeness is not only Tierney's vocational calling, but also a result of her personal life experiences. She has encountered numerous pivotal moments of personal brokenness, trauma, loss, hardship, and illness. Each obstacle has lead Tierney to dig deeper into what it means to be healthy; to be whole. In each passing season, she has found that acceptance of reality offers interior freedom, interior freedom offers the ability to embrace hope, and hope offers space to move forward into life-affirming rhythms which lead to greater health and happiness. All the more, relationships, as Tierney has come to know, are what make us fully human. It is in relationship--with self, with God, with others, and with creation--that we will find the full expression of wholeness as we seek to honor this gift we've been graced with; this life that we breathe.
