Modern spiritual counseling and companioning…
…because no one should have to walk alone.
How would it feel to come home to yourself?
Lantern Soul Care provides affirming, personalized, online spiritual counseling to help you remember, reconnect, and renew.
So you can breathe again.
I’m Lyena Strelkoff.
As a spiritual counselor and skilled soul companion, I help people deepen their spiritual lives — in the ways most meaningful to them — so they can be more resilient, more inspired, and more at peace. Think of me as a lantern-bearer on the path of your soul’s journey.
Twenty years ago, I fell out of a tree I was climbing for fun and became paraplegic. It was a profoundly spiritual experience, some would say mystical. Ever since, I’ve been following its call.
I know what it is to live with relentless challenges, great loss, and uncertainty. I also know the sustaining power of a rich and authentic spiritual life.
It would be my honor to hold a light for you.
“Working with Lyena has been transforming, inspiring, and life-changing. She has rekindled a fierce determination to be fully here, fully alive!”

What is Spiritual Counseling?
Spiritual counseling is a relationship designed to help you remember your essence.
It’s about (re)connecting to Source, however you conceive of that source, so you can be renewed, uplifted, and fortified.
It’s about engaging your personal spirituality for healing and transformation…
… feeding your soul, discerning your truth, and gently finding your way.
Spiritual counseling facilitates a return to wholeness.
Areas of specialty

Folks with chronic health issues
Cure is not always available, but healing is. From where do you source your strength and hope? Pain, isolation, loss of lifestyle or identity, shame, and relentless self-advocacy can leave us feeling angry, depleted, lost or overwhelmed. Together, we can develop your spiritual life into a sustaining force, so you can be more resilient, live healthier, and feel more at peace, as you face the daily challenges.

Family
caregivers
What brings you peace when situations seem merciless? Where do you turn for solace and renewal? Impatience, exhaustion, heartbreak, and guilt are natural feelings when we juggle the competing priorities, ambiguous grief, and heavy mental load of caregiving. A caregiver myself, I know. Spiritual counseling can help soothe our aching hearts, make peace with what is, and replenish our reserves, so we can resiliently care for our loved ones with grace, compassion, humor, and love.

Healthcare professionals
Who cares for the healer while the healer cares for everyone else? Unprecedented loss; relentless, rapid change; lingering uncertainty; and inadequate respite are causing burnout, detachment, loss of purpose, and grief. Spiritual counseling offers a safe, sacred space to honor the conflicting truths of our lives and work. In its arms, you can replenish your stores, recover lost meaning, and feel more inspired and connected, so you can, once again, serve with love and purpose.
Let’s get to know each other.
If your heart is calling for care and you long to feel more connected and inspired, let’s talk.
Schedule a complimentary call. You can ask your questions, get a feel for me and our potential together, and discern for yourself if spiritual counseling is right for you.
Your heart knows what you need. I look forward to holding a sacred space so you can hear its truth.
