Rita Baroni

Since I was a little girl, I have known that Jesus loves me.

Growing up, I attended many different denominations and churches and came to love the many ways people worship Jesus and encounter Him. As an adult, I traveled in ministry, speaking at churches, women’s conferences, and marriage retreats.

When I became involved in spiritual direction, I encountered Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father in a deeper way than I had ever known. Learning to rest and trust in a good God—and wait for Him to meet me in my moment-by-moment life—has been incredibly freeing from the busy pace I once lived.

I am continually amazed by the gentleness and fierceness of the love of God. I also delight in His playful and joyful personality. My heart and passion are to see people grow in hope, healing, and freedom as they experience the presence and love of God.

I have participated in Dovehouse retreats, groups, and individual spiritual direction and now offer both individual and group spiritual direction.

Come as you are and rest awhile.

I have been married to my beloved David since November 1980. We have three life-filled daughters who are married to amazing husbands and eight brilliant, Jesus-loving grandchildren.

My life and my heart are full!
