“I am a safe space trainer. I am pansexual and non-binary myself. I educate other doulas/birth workers/postpartum workers on inclusion and inclusive language. I work and promote all aspects of the spectrum in the birthing world.

I am locally owned, indigenous, pansexual free spirit who wants to love everyone and be loved by everyone. I tend to go out of way to make sure the birthing world is inclusive on all aspects especially LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. In this area, we don’t have this- I’m trying my hardest to make sure we do.”

Selina Douglas-Ali, Owner

"I feel like when it comes to therapy and living along the Bible Belt, finding a therapist while being apart of the LGBTQ+ community can be so scary and intimidating. My hope is showing my support will allow those in this community to feel safe and supported in improving their overall mental health.

I want everyone to know that I support the LGTBQ+ community and that my door is always open to new clients who are looking for an open minded and welcoming therapist!"

Lesley Faucheux, Owner

Unitarian Universalists share some common commitments— our Association’s Principles and Purposes, civil rights engagement, and Statements of Conscience. However, we also share a difference—each Congregation is guided by its own covenant. Thus each UU congregation has a different ‘flavor.’ Here in Owensboro, we are an eclectic spiritual group with Buddhist, Christian, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, and Vedanta practices amongst us. This ‘flavors’ our life together and makes it easy for us to seek interfaith partnerships. It also means, if you plan to visit you’ll need to come more than once because we have a lot of variety!

“We love people & justice, we like to learn & listen, and we’re fun!”

Rev. Dr. Claudia A Ramisch, Minister
