She also companions those going through spiritual direction training, clergy and ministry leaders, those in transition and discernment, those seeking to discover their authentic path and purpose, and or those who feel burned out, disenfranchised, disillusioned, spiritually stuck, or who have been going through deconstruction and or reconstruction of their faith.

"Having been in spiritual direction for 20 + years and seeing Carol Mullen for the last 4 of those years,

I find Carol an excellent conduit for God's presence and love. Her focus is always on God and me.

She seems to know the exact sacred reflections, spiritual practices and scripture I need, and I 

feel as if God is very present in our sessions. My relationship with God has grown deeper. 

I highly recommend her."

Carol is an amazing life coach who is incredibly easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. She has such a kind, calm presence, and her smile immediately put me at ease. She is able to use her intuition and therapeutic gifts to quickly identify the issues and come up with no-nonsense, easily applied solutions. She is a creative problem-solver and explains concepts in simple terms. And she has this ability to make the introspective process fun! Above all, it is obvious how much she cares about your overall well being. I can't recommend her enough to anyone interested in improving their life and relationships.

After numerous coaching sessions with Carol, I highly recommend the work she is doing and the wisdom she has to offer. She is an excellent listener with a kind gentle spirit. She brings much to the table with strategies and thought provoking exercises. With her coaching I have been able to sort through different aspects of my life. She has been a tremendous help.
