Rev. Lindsay Babich
Ordained in April 2004, ADL has provided a Spiritual Home for me as I evolve along with our planetary consciousness. I see humanity moving forward one Heart at a time in Divine Order.
A graduate of Hunter College in NYC with a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology and Sociology, I’ve had an eclectic life working professionally in dance, archeology, counseling, publishing, film and television and even as a middle school arts teacher. I now practice Healing Touch, Aromatherapy and Frequency Healing, combining technology with my innate intuitive skills.
Each of the students I have Mentored, ranging from 22 to 82 years of age, has gifted me with a new, fresh experience while studying the three magical student handbooks. My primary goal as a Mentor is to make certain that each Mentee has their own deep experience with the ADL lessons and develops their own relationship to our simple and yet profound ADL tenet: Love is All There Is.

DAYTONA
Rev. Christa Blais
I am a Natural Holistic Healer who specializes in Energy work to Restore balance using several modalities. (i.e. Reiki Master, Crystal Healing PEMF Mat, Aromatherapy, Crystals and Herbs)
I was born in Daytona Beach where I currently live, and I had the pleasure of making the wild hills of West Virginia my home for about 10 years; I still consider it my northern home. I believe in the deep connection to our Natural World and I am happy to do my part in being a good steward to this planet.
I first came to the Alliance of Divine Love community back in 2013. I have always admired and loved the Inclusive and Universal Love core of ADL, and I have seen our Ministers do great things for their communities. My service as an ADL minister has changed several times throughout my time in the ministry. Initially, it was a way for me to be more effective in my creation of community gardens and local food systems for my community. A non-profit was an ideal way to connect resources to those in dire need in overcoming the challenges of living in a food desert.
The second branch of my service for ADL directly involves my healing practice. According to local laws, the only legal way for me to practice Reiki is to be a minister, which oddly allows you to “lay hands” on people for healing. I actively practiced and taught Reiki for 2 years and now I have a home healing practice.
My teaching style is to empower students through hands on experience, useful tips, advice and current research/topic discussions. I respect each student’s learning style and time management with flexible options to help guide them on their spiritual journey and hope to foster Universal Love in each Star Seed!
If any of my story or experience feels like it may fit you and your goal to become a spiritual minister, please contact me to begin with the first step into your new path.

Moving from a 38-year career in the travel industry, I was called to the Ministry because I loved and resonated with the ADL philosophy and training.
Shortly thereafter, I co-founded Divine Love Institute along with Rev. Nancy Livingston and today we offer ministerial classes, mentoring and on-going support pre and post ordination in the form of certifications, workshops and coaching. We give you the tools you need to grow.

Rev. Nancy Livingston
As an ADL Minister, Certified Health, Cancer & Caregiver Coach, Energy Facilitator and Co-Founder of Divine Love Institute,™ I am passionate about empowering my clients to be proactive in achieving their health, life, and spiritual goals through support and education.
I became an ADL Minister at the start of my Spiritual Journey and can honestly say that it has become one of the best decisions I ever made. Because the ADL Ministry teachings and lessons are so beautiful and profound, I had a much better understanding of my place in the Universe.

I have worked in the legal field for 20 years. Raised with interfaith beliefs, I realized early on that God/Creator is everywhere.
I am able to assist others in finding, healing and releasing their limits within. This assists them to consciously raise their vibration, so that they are ultimately free. I encourage others to allow their light to shine brilliantly, utilizing the Universal Laws and the Greatest Degree of Love.

TALLAHASSEE
Rev. Morgan Patterson
I have been called to the Spiritual life since I was a youngster. Practicing meditation for the last 49 years has allowed me to have a strong connection to the Source. This has given me a way to feel supported even when life becomes chaotic and feels as if I am being buffeted by mighty storms.
I have trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and teach this to high school students and in women's prisons. Having a way to find calm within the confines of a prison is a wonderful gift.
Gathering for ceremony and sisterhood through women's circles is one of my dearest callings. I walked across Spain on the Camino de Santiago, which is a 500-mile pilgrimage. I am the author of "Are you the Christ? Finding the Goodness in Yourself and Others.”
Currently, my work centers on women who have spent their lives caring for others and NOW are ready to “come back to themselves.” I support them in growing a new feel and rhythm in their lives, while staying laser-focused on reaching
GAINESVILLE
Rev. Jane Roy
I became an ordained ADL minister in 2002 and was also certified as a Rapid Eye Technician. It has been my privilege to assist others in the emotional and mental clearing of traumatic life experiences, grief being one of the major causes of their struggles. Throughout it all, my work and personal passion since childhood has been about helping others.
I am blessed to have found another “calling” while volunteering at our local conservation cemetery. While supporting and assisting families as they bury their loved ones, I witnessed the importance of knowledgeable and compassionate funeral directors. From that experience, I chose to return to school to become a Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, in order to provide a more encompassing line of support. I appreciate opportunities to educate others about home funerals and green burials.
Being an ADL mentor also allows me, and reminds me, to assist in bringing the Light and Love - that ADL is all about - into this world through working with new students.

Drawing upon her own personal healing and spiritual journey, her years of study and her experience with assisting people in their awakening, Vickie offers an inviting avenue through which people can claim their true spiritual inheritance.
She loves mentoring those who want to become ADL ministers, helping students transform and step into their own ministries.
ST. AUGUSTINE
Rev. Estelle Thibodeau
How did it feel to not be part of this Alliance of Divine Love? An oddity walking the earth in search of true family, the true work of the self. And how did it come to be that crossing the path of one person (a certain Reverend who loves Roses) could open my eyes and finally validate the beauty and assets within?
Being an ADL Minister is a jolly freedom in my heart, an exclamation mark, a song to sing to the world! And, while some may often wonder about this love and happiness and greater good for all things we've got going on, with a sort of dismissive wave of the hand, there are others out there that are healers of this world, walking around.
It is not without Divinity that I am here. It is for these reasons that I humbly and most gratefully choose to live and teach as a Mentor of ADL and continue to my best ability this wonderful and most important endeavor.
