Rev. Catherine Dollahite
-
Eagle, ID
For over 30 years, I’ve walked alongside those who long for deeper connection, healing, and the Presence of Love in their lives. If you love God, but feel something more stirring beneath the surface. If that’s you, know that you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.
​
My own journey has taken me through deep sorrow and radiant joy, through chronic illness, emotional pain, and spiritual awakening. In the midst of it all, I encountered the Living Christ—not as a distant belief, but as an intimate, healing inner Presence. That encounter changed everything.
​
Today, I offer spiritual mentoring rooted in Christ’s Love. My work is a safe and sacred space to release old wounds, let go of shame and confusion, and come home to your True Self in Christ. This isn’t about striving or fixing—it’s about remembering who you really are and living from that wholeness with peace, clarity, and joy.
​
If you feel a quiet ache for something more—if you sense God calling you deeper—I would be honored to walk with you.
​
Let’s begin with a conversation.

After 40 years of coaching and consulting in the salon spa business Michael was called to serve Graceful Ways Consortium by bringing his life work:
1. I Am here to bring TLC (Transformational Learning & Coaching, Curriculum, & Community) to whoever may be prospered by it.
2. I Am surrendered to living in the PAUSE of Grace, and the SPACE between.
My calling is now to be a translator of Truth.
I Am here to re-language the Gospels for the generations that have left the church but never stopped longing for God.
I Am here to build bridges between daily life and Sacred Presence
I Am here to tell my students and curious seekers alike:
“You are more than you think you are, you are a channel for God to reveal through you

Arlene O'Reilly

Easton MD
The first 25 years of my career included working for clients of Madison Avenue ad agencies practicing the principles of clear communication. Later, as a consultant for small business owners and non-profits, I helped then get clear on their marketing messaging.  
In New York I was fortunate to begin my spiritual studies with Raymond Charles Barker. Which continue today in my studies with a spiritual mentor. 
Now I work one-to-one with spiritual mentors, practitioners and ministers who aren’t clear how to describe what they do. I help them answer two questions about their service to others:    
1. Who’s it for?  
2. What’s it for?  
Those answers can be transformed into marketing messages for your websites, emails, etc. So the marketing connects you to the clients you want to work with. 
Send me an email if want to chat to see if this work could help you.
