Kitchie Ranillo Bakken has been as a spiritual director since 2020 and describes this calling as “her heart’s work.” She is deeply passionate about creating spaces where people feel loved, seen, and cherished and creating spaces where people can encounter God in (re)new(ed), life-giving ways. Her greatest desire is to walk alongside others as they discover how deeply the Divine loves and embraces their full, authentic selves. We are all sacred and holy. Being Filipina, Kitchie is especially drawn to the rich intersection of spirituality and culture.
Kitchie is a mom to a precious little girl and 6 year old pup! She is also married to her bestie, Tommy, whom she loves dearly.
