Who is Birdi?

✓ Live from love not fear

✓ Hear your soulful voice

✓ We are more together

✓ Beauty is everywhere

At my heart, I am a teacher, a mystic, and a guide. Full of curiosity, my hands and my mind are always exploring, finding some kind of wonder or playful mischief. It took my a long time to embody that this is ok that others sometimes find me to be deep, or silly, or too whatever.

I am kind and alive, embracing a type of responsible freedom, that is sometimes lost and re-discovered in the demands of life,
and yet asks to be cultivated.

It's well documented and true to our lived experience that our health and well-being is deeply connected with our relationships with our own self, our people, and our world. This is why I specialize in inner calm, grief care, intrusive wounds, intimacy and presence, and relationship patterns. I believe through caring for our self and each other, the world becomes a better place.

My earliest years were unconventional and I experienced that there is a path forward, no matter our differences, goals, or the pain we carry. It may not look how we think it should, or always feel amazing, but it is always there ready to free us, and that IS amazing.

In all facets of my work, this informs why I love to empower people when they are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. I believe no one needs to get stuck in that condition AND it makes the world a better place - we just don't always know how to make those shifts of living from love not fear, even when it's chaotic

Remembering to choose from love instead of fear is what grounded me into my beliefs, decisions,
and a reliable, compassionate method for how to embrace next steps.

I left home when I was 9.

✓ I was not rebellious. I was betrayed, hurt, and searching for better. I trusted my inner Self.

✓ I was not a problem. I knew better than what I was expected to accept. I lived this truth in the best ways I knew how at the time.

✓ I was not safe. It was worth the known and unknown risks for me to take my chances. I stand by my path even now. I learned how to create a safe village, including within myself.

✓ I was not lazy or looking for an easy out. Nothing about this was easy. I rejected these judgments and also comforted, bore witness, and advocated for others.

When did we get the message we are not "Enough"?

What do we do with this information?

So, who do you trust when you are hurting?
Where is home?

✓ The answer is not OUT THERE.

✓ AND - we are never as alone as we may feel.

✓ Like Mr. Rogers' mom said, "In chaos, when you're scared, look for the helpers."

✓ Home is a condition of the spirit. It is within us to experience for better or worse. WE decide.

Nitty Gritty

I am Rev. Dr. Birdi Sinclair. Nice to meet you. All of my training and experience in healthcare, spirituality, and sociology has combined to be with you in a challenging or joyful time of life.

In the early 1980s, I found myself as a single parent of this beautiful little human, and began a path toward a nursing career to take care of ourselves well, independently. The AIDS pandemic in NYC became a big part of my training as a hospice nurse, and felt the deepest needs of people to address the soul pains they were experiencing inside themselves and in society. Ordained as an interfaith minister to take care of some of these needs.

I learned early that true peace within and in our communities come not from religion, but from the spirituality and connections we nurture or gently let go.

With a doctorate in sacred dialogue, activism, and engagement, I specialize in tending to grief, relationships, and deep intrusive wounds - these are where soul wounds express themselves. Self-care, personal exploration, and the arts, not for perfection, but to give voice to what words can’t reach is some of what speaks to that wordless place within us all.

What has been most effective in my practice is the weave of psychology, neurobiology, sociology, spirituality, and creativity into a soulful thread for healing and growth. For over 30 years, I’ve spoken, taught, and presented nationally, including hosting a public TV show focused on the power of one. I love working with individuals, couples and non-traditional relationships, small groups, and I’m equally passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces for healthcare and veterinary professionals, as well as offering training in LGBTQA+ inclusion.

At home in New Hampshire, with my partner of 20+ years and our pup (who may be part baby dragon), I paint, write, kayak, bike, and drink tea. I savor every chance to take off in our little rv and camp among the trees and seas. My sweet, amazing babies are now grown and flown on the west coast where the best opportunities embrace them.

It’s all pretty neato. So, if you come by, the music will be on and my hands will be into something. Please let yourself in, we'll have tea. There's always time and always tea.
