Making Room For Grace
Meet Judi
Sometimes, the first step is simply an honest conversation.
Hear the Story: I recently shared my journey of miraculous healing and lifelong surrender with a colleague who experienced a similar freedom from alcohol. We spoke about the moments of darkness, the search for answers, and the grace that changed everything.
At Held Holy, integrity means living what I offer and walking the same path of healing, honesty, and surrender that I invite others to explore.
I live a substance-free life, free from alcohol and from anything that pulls me away from who I am in God. That freedom was not something I achieved through willpower; it was a gift of Grace. It is that Grace that continues to shape my personal and professional life.
In my work with individuals, informed by my Master's training in Pastoral Counseling/Ministry, I help people explore their relationship with alcohol, substances, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Often, the work leads beneath the surface to the emotional wounds, spiritual longings, and deeper beliefs that lie beneath the habit.
For me, this is soul work, and it can only happen in a space of mercy. That is why I strive to lead with compassion, transparency, and reverence. I protect confidentiality, meet each person without judgment, and walk alongside them in humility ... not as a fixer, but as someone who has walked a difficult road and trusts the One who heals.
While I choose to live alcohol- and drug-free, I honor that each person's journey is unique. Held Holy is never about pressure or perfection. It is an invitation into truth, peace, and the possibility of genuine freedom.
