I'm Rev. Dr. Stacey L Brady. I am an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Since my ordination in 1998, I a have served God’s people (and all people are God’s people!) in large churches, small churches, traditional settings and ecumenical settings.
I am a certified trauma and resilience life coach, earning this certification in 2022 through the Arizona Trauma Institute. This learning has proved invaluable as I serve those who carry trauma and secondary trauma both inside and outside the church.
For many years, I worked as a chaplain in a life plan community, including during the height of the COVID pandemic. During this time, I experienced compassion fatigue and near burnout like many other caregivers. This ignited in my a passion to heal so that I and those around me could continue to compassionately care for others while being whole themselves.
