However, her overarching heart and passion is to help others find freedom from past traumas, hurts and lies and to walk in their God given identity and authority as they carry out God’s calling on their lives. Diane’s life verse is John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
Diane has been trained and holds certificates from various Christian healing and freedom ministries.

Diane’s past and current experience in pastoral care enables her to provide a safe environment where people can share their struggles and pain openly without fear of judgment and with the assurance that their story is being heard in a compassionate and honored way. This sets up the ministry time in such a way that the Lord has free reign to minister at a deep level to reveal lies and uproot them and replace them with His truth.
Diane’s personal experience and understanding of family dysfunction, codependency, addictions, depression, suicide and toxic relationships including narcissistic personality disorder gives her a deeper understanding towards others who are also dealing with these specific issues.

Utilizing her past training in various healing and freedom ministries under the Holy Spirit’s direction and guidance will allow Diane to bring you freedom like it did for her personally and many before her. It sets the stage to allow the Lord to meet you, to speak His truth to you and to heal you of past trauma and pain that you have been carrying around for far too long. Are you ready to run your race unencumbered by your past? Are you ready to step into levels of freedom and joy that maybe you thought only were available for others and not you? Well that freedom and joy is meant for you so what are you waiting for? Diane and her teammate Kristen would be honored to facilitate and guide you on your journey with the Lord to walk in your birthright as His precious child!
