Spiritual Coaching
Mindy Hills / Spiritual Coach
Spiritual guidance is being present in the moment, seeing and honoring the sacred mystery of the soul of another. It's modeling a deep relationship with the Divine and standing in faith and love with one another as the relationship unfolds. The purpose of Spiritual Guidance is to discern individual strengths and to assist others in finding clarity to determine a loving course of action which allows for transitioning to their inner truth.

Melissa's Favorite Farm to Fork Restaurants
- Downtown Market
- Bistro Bella Vita
- Reserve
- San Chez, a Tapas Bistro
- The Green Well Gastro Pub
- Terra
- Electric Cheetah
- Chipolte Mexican Grill – A better alternative to the standard fast food. Chipotle has a commitment to sustainability in how they source their beef, chicken, pork and dairy, they term it food with integrity.
Melissa's Favorite Sea to Fork Restaurants
- Maru Sushi & Grill – so amazing, one of my absolute favorite places to eat!
Glad to find this list of resources and to see the local farm we support, Woodbridge Dairy, listed here. Extremely disappointed that the list (apparently) hasn’t been updated in several years.
Hi BetsyJo. There was one farm and one restaurant to be updated. Sorry you are extremely disappointed in our efforts and long list. Thank you!
What a great source of referrals! I appreciate the time you took to put this information together. So glad to have it.
You’re so welcome Michelle!
