Martin Dowman
Life Coach & Spiritual Companion
I believe everyone has a full range of emotions that deserve to be supported.
I do this through deep listening, acknowledging, validating, and lighting the path
for people discovering their own truth.
As a result, people’s lives change from within.
Supporting people in connecting from the heart for over 30 years

Spiritual Companion
What is a Spiritual Companion?
Spiritual companionship is a relationship in which a companion allows, through deep listening, the spiritual story of the other to unfold. Through this relationship, the person seeking companionship is empowered to explore a deeper relationship with God, Allah, Tao, The Universe, or however you may refer to a higher power.
What is the difference between a spiritual director and a spiritual companion?
A spiritual director is a type of spiritual companion. I believe the term “companion” is broader and more inclusive, and points to the heart of the work, which is to walk alongside with others as friends and equals, listening to and honoring the sacred stories being told.
Why work with a spiritual companion?
They offer deep listening to support people in finding and following their own spiritual path
They ask insightful, open-ended questions that help people connect with their authentic selves
They allow space for stillness and silence (contemplation) to help people become aware of what is deep within them
They build trust and openness by being authentic, kind and open themselves
They do not proselytize, nor seek to influence or convince, but instead walk alongside people as they make their individual and unique spiritual journeys
They honor the free will and discernment of each human being, especially in spiritual matters
They offer a mirror to those they companion so they may see themselves as whole beings if they so choose
They help the people they accompany create a stronger relationship with self and others and God, or however they refer to the ground of all being
