Mind + Body + Soul.

What You’ll Find Here

Hello, I’m Heidi—pastor, wife, mom, communicator, dance enthusiast, and aspiring homesteader.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration in living a healthy lifestyle, encouragement on your faith journey, or practical tips for nurturing a purposeful home, you’re in the right place.

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of pastoring the next generation, and now I’m raising the next generation in my own home with my own children. I’m taking what I’ve learned and observed in youth ministry over the last decade and applying it to motherhood today.

I love creating a space where the mind, body, and soul can thrive. I believe God wants us to thrive too. Especially in motherhood.

Whether I’m writing, speaking, or simply listening, my heart is to encourage you—wherever you are in your story.

Welcome to Avanelle’s Place. I’m so glad you’re here.

Avanelle’s Place is named after my daughter. Her life has changed me.
