A Pilgrimage in the
Palm of Your Hand.
You don't need to travel to a foreign country to walk a sacred path. Discover a somatic, neurologically-anchored journey through the joints and valleys of your own hand.
Rewiring the soul through the body.
Most prayer practices exist entirely in the intellect. We try to think our way into peace, leaving our physical bodies carrying the same tension, trauma, and anxiety we started with.
The Hand Psalter is different. It is rooted in neurobiology. By physically journeying through, touching, and mapping the specific joints and areas of your hand, you neurologically imprint peace and prayer into your nervous system.
A Journey of Sequential Depth
You are not obligated to complete all four stages, but they must be done in order. Each profound layer relies entirely on the structural foundation built in the previous step.
The PraiseWalker Substack
While the Hand Psalter is the structured practice, the PraiseWalker Substack is the living community and philosophy surrounding it.
Join us for ongoing articles exploring somatic prayer, the beauty of living connected, and the profound rest found in Menuchah. It is the perfect companion to your daily practice.

No Journaling Required
Unlike many other programs, the Hand Psalter does not rely on journaling prompts or heavy intellectual processing. We are moving out of the analyzing mind and anchoring directly into the physical body.
I know what it's like to hunger for a faith that feels alive.
"...only to find yourself buried under the weight of 'doing' — reciting the words, showing up, trying harder, and still feeling quietly far from God."
I am a Certified Mental Health Coach and Insight Coach. I am also a pragmatic contemplative, I serve as a spiritual companion, and now I'm a Keeper of the Hand Psalter. I have spent years fascinated by the question of why some practices actually change people while others simply inform them. Reading voraciously at the intersection of neuroscience, neurotheology, and contemplative spirituality, I've followed the thread of how God wired us to find our way back to Him.
That curiosity led me, quite unexpectedly, to a 15th-century monk named Jan Mombaer and a practice he mapped onto the palm of his hand in 1494. It stopped me cold. What he built by instinct and grace turns out to be a remarkably precise tool for neurobiological healing — a portable sanctuary you can carry into a waiting room, a difficult conversation, or three in the morning when everything feels too heavy.
I wrote the books. I built the companion. And now I walk alongside women who are tired of tidy, color-coordinated faith and ready for something that actually fits inside their real, ordinary, beautiful lives.
Grab a cup of tea. Leave your "perfect" version of yourself at the door.
The gate is open.
