What I do
Guiding and encouraging you to choose a life of authenticity, through Spiritual Direction.
Hi, I’m Dedra!
SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR & ENNEAGRAM COACH
Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. I offer a safe, grace-filled space for people longing to experience their faith beyond the shame, fear, or pressure often tied to American Christianity. Rooted in the ways of Jesus—kindness, compassion, and presence—I walk alongside those navigating grief, trauma, transitions, or spiritual restlessness. Whether you’re curious, uncertain, or simply longing for something more, you don’t have to walk the journey alone.
I offer one-on-one, non-denominational spiritual direction that is both Enneagram-informed and trauma-sensitive. Together, we create a safe and sacred space for honest questions, tender places, and meaningful discoveries. As a holy companion, I listen deeply and walk with you as you grow in self-understanding and draw closer to God.
Happy Notes
“Dedra created an extremely safe place for me to ask questions and share thoughts that I’d been deeply wrestling with. She helped untangle my faith curiosities with thoughtful questions and gentle wisdom. I felt seen, heard and I always came away from our time together enlightened and hopeful. Meeting with her has made an immeasurable impact on my faith journey!”
“I was ready to experience my spiritual life from a deeper place, hungered for it actually. Dedra has guided me in that process with care, love, frankness, and keen perception. Spiritual direction under Dedra’s guidance has supported me in movement to a more heart-based life.”
“It is an honor to recommend Dedra Herod as a Spiritual Director & Enneagram Coach. Dedra has done a tremendous amount of work on her own growth and has been a dedicated student of the Enneagram for years. Couple these things with her deep well of compassion, and you can’t lose having Dedra as your Spiritual Director.”
“The gentleness and kindness Dedra has expressed to me as a client has been a very comforting experience during my transition into retirement. You will feel genuinely cared for and understood.”
We all have a personal journey. Sometimes our spiritual paths are filled with clarity and we can see forward, other times the path is hard to see, distinquish or even find. Spiritual Direction should be a place that allows you to rest and hear from God.
The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system with a supernatural accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively (LIGHT) and negatively (SHADOW). I have heard it said A LOT lately that ignorance is bliss until you begin to become self-aware.
