Welcome.
Have you ever wished you had a neutral, loving, informed person to accompany you on the deeper, more challenging paths of change in yourself or your life? That is the essence of what I provide through Befriending Your Soul.
My name is Marilyn Gustin, and I’m a coach, inter-spiritual minister, and educator who offers tools and caring companionship so that you can make transformative changes and create what you want.
On the outside, it looks like other programs. On the inside, Befriending Your Soul combines psychology and spirituality in a unique and ever-deepening way, based in lots of people-experience and training in many worldviews.
This takes form in one-on-one sessions, on-going companionship on your pathway (local or by phone), gatherings for growing together, and presentations. I write a blog to keep you thinking and experimenting. In any of these, you can–with confidence–explore new experiences, discover new insight and perspective, and learn tools for your own continuing expansion on the path you’ve chosen. Let’s do it together!
Through our work together, you get to make the changes you are most ready for, determine how much companionship you want for the process, and express more of the creativity and power that is innately yours.
I invite you to explore all of my offerings, check out Your Story to explore whether you’re a good fit, learn more about my story, and get in touch with me.
