Off the Plate: Life in Flow

I’m Jeannette Bessinger (she/her), an ordained interfaith minister and board-certified health coach with over 20 years of experience supporting people through challenging changes in their lives. As a breast cancer survivor and spiritual tender, I lean into the practices of sacred embodiment and building mind/body/spirit resilience.

In my ministry and winding spiritual road, I try to stay close to the current of life itself, a kind of divine Flow that sends up blooms everywhere, furling and unfurling its petals even in the most unexpected places.

Earlier in my career I wrote a lot, and my books, recipes, and mind-body-spirit musings were showcased in many media outlets, including Consumer Reports, the Washington Post, NPR and NBC News. As a bodymind speaker, preacher and award-winning teacher, I’ve been privileged to work with thousands of people from many many diverse communities in everything from Head Start programs to yoga centers, LGBTQIA+ organizations, churches, hospitals, and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

At the moment I’m back in school full-time working toward a theological Master of Arts in Social Change, and serving as a community chaplain, living in Newport, RI with my patient, loving spouse and little dog Gabe, supporting the blooming of spiritual wildflowers everywhere.
