Part of God's Story
Testimonials
These words are from real people who have agreed to share the life-giving wonder of God at work in their lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. I am honored to be a part of His process in the lives of those with whom I have the privilege of coming alongside. Thank you for inviting me in and letting me be a part of your journey!
Dr. Klassen's office is set up in a warm and welcoming way. It matches her approach and way of being as a spiritual director. She helped me to relax into the process and be open to what the Holy Spirit wanted to show me. I walked away from my time with Dr. Klassen feeling more connected to the Lord and with clarity in a specific area of my life. I am grateful for the time that I spent with Dr. Klassen and would encourage you to see her for spiritual direction.
Dr. Klassen is also very gifted at mind-body connections. I sought her mind-body services from a place of desperation. For years, I'd suffered with stress and anxiety around eating certain foods that caused my throat to constrict. This condition included multiple doctor visits and the emergency room. She helped to pinpoint and confirm the diagnosis of a food allergy that was causing inflammation in my esophagus. Ever since that meeting with Dr. Klassen I have not had another incident with my eating. I can't tell you the freedom and gratitude I feel for her help.

I have experienced significant spiritual growth under Kendra’s instruction over the past several years as she taught me the practice of Lectio Divina.
I wanted to pursue a deeper walk with God. People talk about how they hear from God. But I thought that just isn’t something that happens to me. I was wrong. Along came Kendra. Her leadership ushered me into a space that allowed for silence which is very difficult for me. But meeting God in silence is what I was missing. Kendra taught me the practice of being quiet in a safe place where it wasn’t about being “less than” other Christians. She listened and encouraged me in how to give God room so He could do what He wanted to do. I literally heard from the Lord as I practiced the Lectio techniques.

God answered my prayer to know Him deeper. He used Kendra’s experience and expertise in the practice of Lectio Divina. Her guidance has been a gift, a lifelong tool of great value!

Over the last decade I have been blessed to have Kendra lead a few good friends and myself in studying the Bible in a way that has made it more personal and applicable in drawing me closer to my creator. Helping me to connect with what He has to say to me emotionally, spiritually and using it in my everyday relationships.
I always know that the goal each time we meet is to connect with God in a deeper way. God speaks to me very personally as we share what each of us has in our take away after reading through a scripture several times. My relationship with my creator who so lovingly made me has grown more real because of our fellowship.
On top of that, I attended a retreat with Kendra where she created a very detailed day that blessed me physically, spiritually and emotionally in a beautiful place, with moments for me to seek a closer walk with God. I have been deeply blessed and these experiences have impacted me for eternity.

Kendra, Thank you so much for the retreat! I really was needing it. The olive tree and wind chimes were a special blessing. Each time the chimes made music it seemed as though God was reminding me of his presence and calling me back to him. It was a sweet time of resting in his love. Thank you also for your prayer, for letting me cry, and giving me space, and allowing for the Spirit to move through you. I admire your receptiveness to Him and use of space for worship. You make those around comfortable in your presence. I love you lots!

Dr. Klassen has a warm and empathetic presence that made me feel comfortable right away. She explains her techniques and helped me understand what to expect prior to beginning. I was thrilled with the process and the results. NET was something I'd never done before, but I will absolutely go back in the future. I'm grateful for the time I spent with Dr. Klassen. Specific things that were barriers to my growth were identified quickly, which allowed my healing and growth to happen more immediately. The insight and healing that I gained through her have been immensely helpful!
During spiritual retreats, the environment that Dr. Klassen provides is exactly what you would hope for. You enter a space that is peaceful, welcoming and warm. She invites you to rest and encounter the Lord in an open and flexible space. There are multiple options for you to choose from as you enjoy your time of listening and refreshment. However you come, you leave feeling like you've had a deep exhale and been given a gift of time and space with the Lord. I would highly recommend taking advantage of a spiritual retreat with Dr. Klassen if you have the opportunity.
Sometimes we feel alone on our journey with the Lord. Sitting with Dr. Klassen in spiritual direction felt both comforting and encouraging. To have her listen to the Lord on my behalf and ask questions along the way was very helpful. Her support allowed me to relax and respond to the Holy Spirit's prompting. Time spent with Dr. Klassen in spiritual direction felt like it propelled my journey with Christ forward both deeper and faster than had I been doing it alone. I am still in awe of how God has used my sessions and all that He revealed during our time together!
