Thanks for asking. It's always a challenge to know what to include or leave out, isn't it? We have a whole lifetime to choose from.
At my heart, I am a teacher, a mystic, and a guide. Quietly soulful and full of curiosity, my hands and my mind are always exploring, finding some kind of wonder or playful mischief. It is ok that others sometimes find me to be deep, or too whatever.
I am kind and alive.
That's a type of responsible freedom that is sometimes lost and re-discovered, and asks to be cultivated.
We all are worthy, resilient, connected, and full of uniqueness.
I help people who give so much (professionally or personally) rediscover their own needs, heal from chronic self-sacrifice,
to create meaningful, joy filled, intimate lives - one intentional pause at a time.
I specialize in inner calm, grief care, presence, and relationship patterns.
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.
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 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 comforted, bore witness, and advocated for others.
✓ The answer is not OUT THERE.
✓ AND - we are never as alone as we may feel.
✓ Like Mr. Roger's 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.

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.
Ordained as an interfaith minister during the AIDS pandemic in 1980s NYC while training as a hospice nurse, 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 - soul wounds, guiding others toward wholeness through self-care, personal exploration, and the arts, not for perfection, but to give voice to what words can’t reach.
My approach and experience weaves 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’m 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.
We can begin where you are. Online coaching, counseling, sessions. You'll go to my online scheduler. Or email me and schedule directly.
