Niecy LoCricchio

About

Niecy’s own journey of spiritual re-formation started in a season of her life that she often calls “The Great Undoing”: a multi-year season of church burnout, ministry disappointments and the dark night unravelling of her soul. With the companionship of her spiritual director and two years of intentional inner work at The Soul Care Institute, Niecy encountered the depth of God’s love remaking her – freeing her from false-self identities to embrace greater interior freedom, reclaiming her voice, and living as God’s Beloved.

An author and founder of The Soul Care Place, Niecy now lives out her calling as a shepherd-pastor through her work as a spiritual director, as a companion in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, and through creating and leading retreats. With over 20 years of ministry experience, Niecy's passion lies in creating spacious places for the soul to become attune to God's love amid the beauty and brokenness of everyday life. As a recovering perfectionist and overachiever, Niecy has discovered the life-giving power of play, slowing down, and contemplative practices in the spiritual life with God and endeavors to incorporate creative expression and embodied awareness as pathways toward healing, wholeness and deeper intimacy with God.

When she's not offering spiritual direction or leading retreats, you might find her Latin dancing with her husband Jeff, or paddleboarding, playing games, or creating art with her much-loved granddaughter.

Niecy offers a complimentary 45-minute Discovery Session via Zoom for those interested in exploring spiritual direction or the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. She is also available to create and lead retreats. More information is available on her website, thesoulcareplace.com.
