About Krista
Hello, I’m Krista Keane, founder of My Soul Space. My journey into spiritual direction and founding this practice has not only been shaped by my personal engagement with the Holy Scriptures, but by a transforming relationship with the Lord.
About ten years ago, I started to notice myself questioning some of the legalistic boundaries I had placed in my life. I was striving for perfection; to be what I thought others expected, and what I thought God expected me to be. I found myself completely frustrated, empty, and exhausted. I was certain there had to be more to my spiritual journey than burning out every few seasons.
Guess what? It turns out there is a lot more.

Mission Statement
To provide a comfortable and confidential space where individuals can freely explore God’s movement in their life, guided by compassionate listening and discernment that is grounded in biblical truth.
The Spiritual Direction Experience
We will sit down in my office for in person sessions, or over Zoom for virtual sessions. The setting is much like a counselor's office. It's a quiet, non-distracting, comfortable and welcoming space.
I will open our session with prayer, scripture, or a liturgical reading.
We will spend time in silence, prayerfully listening for God. Silence can seem a little intimidating, but remember, silence is a practice. We will start with small increments and go from there.
What if I have nothing to say after silence? That is okay. I'm trained to guide our conversations.
My favorite definition of Christian based, contemplative spiritual direction is from my friend/instructor, Danny Mullins:
"It is partnering with the Holy Spirit in noticing how God is with us, and exploring how we are being invited to respond to God.
