Teresa brings her experience as an educator, interfaith leader, and entrepreneur to her role at our Spiritual Wellness Center. Prior to coming to Canyon Ranch, she worked as a spiritual director, pastor, hospice and hospital chaplain, executive director, and executive coach. She is also the founder and director of Sacred Space, a secular and interfaith community that cultivates compassion through contemplative practices to fuel social justice and has authored over 100 tools of effectiveness.
Some of Teresa’s areas of expertise include: identity; compassion studies; contemplative practice; transformational leadership; coaching; behavior change; spiritual direction; theology; human development; teaching; and contemplative activism.
When away from the Ranch, Teresa enjoys biking, dancing, interior design, watching wildlife, and music. Fun fact: She used to DJ at an alternative radio station.
