Through storywork and creative soul care, I help women gather the stories they carry, tend what has been wounded, experience God’s grace in their stories, and live forward in light of His greater story.
Imagine your life as a sacred gallery…
Your life holds a collection of stories. Stories of beauty, belonging, loss, and longing. Stories that formed you, wounded you, delighted you, or left you wondering where God was in the midst of it all. Some have been carefully remembered, and others have been tucked away, fragmented, minimized, or carried quietly for years.
What if you could learn to tend them all in the presence of grace?
Not by making painful stories beautiful or calling what was harmful good, but by bringing your whole story into the light of God’s greater story. That’s where what has been wounded can be tended with truth and kindness, what has been hidden can be gently brought into the light, and old interpretations can be examined in light of who God is and who you are in Christ. This is the heart of Curators of Grace.
Becoming a Curator of Grace
A curator pays attention.
She gathers what’s important to tell a story. She handles what is valuable with care and brings hidden things into the light. She considers their meaning and context, and preserves what should not be forgotten.
We can learn to approach our stories in much the same way.
God’s grace precedes us and meets us—through Christ, through His Word and Spirit, through His presence and provision, and through the kindness and faithful presence of others.
To become a Curator of Grace is to become increasingly attentive to that grace: learning to recognize and receive it, to tend our stories in light of it, to remember it, to live from it, and eventually to reflect it into the lives and stories of others.
And we don’t do this alone.
God is at work, and we have the gift of others who can come alongside us with truth, kindness, curiosity, and presence as we learn to hold
our stories differently.
What we do…
At Curators of Grace we help you Gather, Tend, Encounter, and Live
Gather
Gather the stories you carry
Our stories shape the way we understand ourselves, our relationships, and even God. Storywork creates space to slow down and notice: What happened? What did I experience? What did I come to believe? What have I carried with me? We gather important life scenes that have been scattered—not to become preoccupied with the past, but to understand more honestly what has shaped the present.
Tend
Tend what’s been wounded
We approach our stories with truth, curiosity, compassion, and grace and make room for grief. We notice shame and listen to what the body has carried. We explore the interpretations and protective patterns that formed along the way. Tending does not mean excusing sin, minimizing harm, or finding something good about what was evil. It means learning to tell the truth about our stories without contempt for ourselves—and allowing God’s truth to speak more authoritatively than the wounds we have carried.
Encounter
Encounter Grace
Grace is more than finding the silver lining in a painful story. It is the undeserved, active kindness of God toward us in Christ—His presence, mercy, truth, provision, and enabling power meeting us in the whole of our lives. Sometimes we recognize His grace as we look back. Sometimes we experience it through the faithful presence of another person. Sometimes grace gives us a new understanding of an old story. And sometimes grace simply enables us to take the next courageous step. We learn not only to recognize grace, but to receive it, remember it, experience it, and reflect it.
Live
Live Forward
Storywork is not meant to leave us endlessly looking backward. The grace of God frees us to live. We can begin to respond rather than simply react. To exercise agency where we once felt powerless. To create, love, lament, risk, rest, speak, forgive, set boundaries, receive kindness, and become more present to God and others. Our histories remain part of us, but they no longer have the final word about who we are. God does. And as we receive His grace, we become increasingly able to carry that grace into our future stories and the stories of others.
Storywork is creative
Not every story begins with words.
Sometimes what lives inside of us emerges through an image, a sensation in the body, a metaphor, a piece of writing, art, song, a prayer of lament, movement, the natural world, or an encounter with a horse.
That’s why Curators of Grace offers creative soul care alongside traditional storywork.
Depending on the person and the work, our time together may incorporate:
Art and creative expression
Reflective and story-based writing
Body awareness and gentle embodied practices
Nature
Equine-assisted storywork
Grief rituals and lament
Scripture, prayer, and spiritual reflection
These aren’t simply activities added to coaching; they are different ways of paying attention and listening to ourselves and to God. Creative activities are different languages through which we may begin to express what has lived inside, become curious about our stories, and make room for truth and grace to be more deeply experienced.

Your story matters
You don’t need to make every piece of your story beautiful.
You don’t need to erase what happened or rush toward a redemptive ending.
You can learn to gather what has been scattered, tend what has been wounded, and become attentive to the grace of God that meets you here.
And as that grace is received and remembered, something begins to happen:
We become people who offer grace, too.
This is what it means to become Curators of Grace—
people learning to tend our stories and the stories of others with truth, dignity, kindness, and hope, while living forward in light of God’s greater story.
Testimonials
What my clients say…
My life has been filled with many broken things. Building walls was the only way to protect my heart from being hurt again. Meeting with Amy has helped me to see the lies of these walls and the danger of isolation. Her compassion to see the “prisoners set free” compels you to see the truth in yourself and others. With Amy, there are no judgments. I always felt her only goal is to help me be the authentic person God has created me to be.” -Suzanne
Amy Jung worked with me as a coach when I needed help focusing on an area of my life that was –well, a mess. Amy was encouraging and supportive. Most importantly, she used Scripture as the foundation for all our conversations. Amy was honest about sin while always pointing to Jesus and His grace at work in my life. I was overwhelmed and ashamed but Amy came aside of me as a sister in Christ and, with wisdom, helped me see the hope available
in Christ.” -Karen
