The role of a spiritual teacher is to help us distinguish
the real from the illusory.
–Thomas Moore, The Soul’s
Religion
Colleen Russell considers herself a midwife to the soul. She
is an expert in guiding individuals through major life
transitions and The Dark Night of the Soul. She has a Master's Degree in Transpersonal Psychology and is trained and certified

She is a best-selling author in an anthology entitled
Overcomers Inc.,
Stories of Hope, Inspiration, and Courage. She is also

Colleen has had a lifetime of experience in deep transitions.
At eighteen, she became a single mother. She put herself through
college and learned to work her way up from poverty to
abundance. She married at age thirty, and became a widow at age
thirty-five. Her journey through grief led her on a spiritual
journey where she discovered her true self and her lifetime
passion of helping others in transition to move from adversity
into their full potential.
In 1998, she and her second husband designed and directed a
Transition and Leadership school for young adults. They helped
hundreds of families from all over the U.S. and Europe
transition their young people into self-reliant adulthood. In
2004, they created Soulore, which assists individuals and
families through soulful life transitions using nature and
creativity.
Quest4Wholeness is her latest creation, which offers support
to men and women seeking to live balanced, creative, and
meaningful lives. Her coaching, workshops, and classes help
people to discover their authentic selves through story, art,
movement, and community. She is available for speaking
engagements. For more
