About the host
Madonna J. Arsenault, Rev., M.Div., CSD, Chaplain, CADC, CPSS
*Blessings of deep peace be with you; I’m grateful you are here.
I come from a long line of indigenous healers and am a Christian believer, mother and grandmother.
I’m also a teacher of beautiful things and an encourager of spirit with many years of experience providing spiritual and emotional care with persons who are our most vulnerable from diverse populations, bringing hope to life.
"What delight comes to the one who follows God's ways!" Psalm 1:1
“…the unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy”.
These words speak of honoring God in the present moment and with hope, waiting for a turn in circumstances, and lifting the hope with a promise of joy and trust while waiting on the other side of a hard now.
In peer support, that’s what we do together in a safe and confidential space of empathetic and compassionate connection. The most important thing for us is to know that we are not alone in the life challenges we are facing.
*Please reach out to me here on Hey Peers if you desire to connect for one-to one peer support, spiritual care, emotional support, and wellness planning.
Deep peace,
Madonna

Motivation for help
I have been to the dark edges of deep sorrow and pain, and I have been brought to a sacred garden of joy and peace. My life is a story full of hope on this journey, and I’ve found that there is healing in the sharing our stories, more importantly, having our stories witnessed and believed is when the power of healing begins to arrive.
