Sue Gimpel
Within herself, as well as with clients, Sue seeks to clear and transform all that keeps us from living and expressing our divine nature and our ability to see the divine in each other.
Conscious conception, natural home birth, and parenting three wise and open-hearted children, led Sue to Waldorf Education. Based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf Curriculum educates from inside out, bringing light to the head and warming the heart so that goodness may flow from the hands. Sue is a Certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor & Waldorf Collaborative Counselor with experience in coordinating faculty, students and parents for Social Inclusion: The Prevention of Teasing and Bullying in the classroom and on the playground. As a Simplicity Parenting Counselor, Sue coaches parents in developing a compassionate response to children’s soul fever, allowing the spirit of the child to heal and blossom in love and wholeness. Sue holds a Certificate in Anthroposophical Counseling Psychology, an integrative approach to counseling, addressing not only the mind, but also the soul and spirit, as they manifest into thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Healing and transforming the symptoms of depression, anxiety and other so called “mental illnesses” can often act as a doorway to spiritual awakening, growth and conscious evolution, instead of being treated as a pathologic disorder.
A series of injuries and chronic illness incited Sue’s own path of healing and transformation, leading to an embodied mystical relationship with the universal beings of Love and Wisdom. The esoteric teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg inspired Sue to delve into the mysteries of the Divine Feminine, making evident the interfaith commonalities of World Religions. Sue is an Interfaith Minister serving individuals and ‘Families in Transition,” not only in raising compassionate and whole-hearted children, but also serving families who are transitioning into caring for an elder, ready for hospice, or ushering a loved one across the Threshold. Sue offers Grief Support and is a Certified Family Directed Funeral Guide, collaborating with families to create their own grieving and funeral rituals and earth friendly Green Burials.
Sue was awarded a Masters of Divinity from Starr King School of Ministry in Berkeley, CA. A native of Michigan, Sue lives in West Sonoma County California with her husband of more than 30 years. Sue sees clients in her Sebastopol office, and if you are local; home, school, or hospital visits are available. Otherwise, phone or video consultations can also be fruitful. Please feel free to inquire to see how Sue can support you in your life.
