Hi, I’m Bre—a Buddhist chaplain based in Decatur, IL.
My work is rooted in my life's experiences. It's a combination of mutual aid and social justice, which inspired me to found The Rising Phoenix (Decatur, IL), an initiative dedicated to bringing vital resources to those in need in our community.
With over five years of work-experience as a chaplain, a background in psychology and my own lived-experience as a survivor of both child and domestic violence, I strive to weave my faith and background into actionable change. By working with Special Little Kittens Rescue my goal is to foster a space where everyone can thrive. Every project I undertake reflects my deep love for humanity and my unwavering commitment to equity and justice.
If you need a FREE listening ear, sign up to speak to me at 7 Cups then email me and we'll schedule a time.
I'm here for you REGARDLESS and I do it because I care.
One Person. One Mission:
Connecting Macon County to Resources.
Decatur is more than people realize—and I want to show you why.
I'm here to empower people of all ages to heal, grow, and emerge as thivers through trauma-informed programming and therapeutic interactions with cats—fostering resilience, emotional well-being, and lifelong skills for success. It is my hope to equip people with the tools they need to have stronger family bonds, and build safer, nurturing homes.
Decatur isn’t a small town—it’s a community full of possibility.
