I can’t change your circumstances.
I can sit with you in whatever is arising—and listen, together, for what remains steady.
I can sit with you in whatever is arising—and listen, together, for what remains steady.
When life shifts in profound ways—through illness, caregiving, grief, aging, uncertainty, or awakening—I accompany individuals, families, healthcare professionals, and organizations with steadiness, presence, and care.
Ever-present peace and love are the essence of our being.
I invite you to remember and live from this truth.

from trying to outrun suffering
to accepting love
wherever I can find it.

One way of acknowledging Naomi Saks’ gift for spiritual accompaniment would be to point out that she has been preparing for this role all her life – from her spiritual awakening as a young woman, to her divinity degree from Harvard, to her many years of service as a hospital chaplain. Throughout her life, Naomi has courageously opened to both human anguish and beauty. But an even more significant way to acknowledge Naomi’s skill is to experience her vulnerable and compassionate presence for yourself. What a gift.

Naomi imbues a calming presence and knowing that immediately sets one at ease. Throughout our session together she insightfully guided me towards what I needed to see and gave next step practices to help center me in my body. I trust Naomi's wisdom and guidance and would definitely participate in another session with her.

The conversation was like a warm hug for my soul. I didn’t know what to expect, but the spiritual accompaniment session turned out to be a spiritual check-up – an exploration of what’s working well, as well as an opportunity to gently examine areas that could use more attention. What a great addition to my self-care tool box!

Naomi is one of the rare beings who is able to accompany us into the greater depths of our own inner experience. She is greatly intuitive and swiftly attunes to what arises energetically in our interactions. She just has a way of helping us to come 'home' and what a splendid gift.
