Meet Tish

Tish invites women to create an intentional life centered in Jesus. She writes and speaks of renewal and restoration offering platters of hope to women in each season of life. Her blend of humor, stories & grace propels audiences towards a fresh experience of God.

Tish took her first personal retreat in her late 20's and hasn't stopped. Her popular guided personal retreats called, “Slow Dance with Jesus,” are based on her book, Getaway with God. During these 24 hours, women unplug from stress and plug into rest, connect with God, and re-order their lives.

She is also a certified life coach and the author of 100 Tips for Moms of Tweens and Teens (Ellie Claire/Hachettte, 2019,) Getaway with God:The Everywoman’s Guide to Personal Retreat (Kregel, 2016): & Rhythms of Renewal (ThisJOY Books, 2009). 

For fun she likes to walk by Lake Michigan, browse resale shops, drink tea with a book in hand, and make up new family traditions to enjoy with her husband, Tom. Hanging out with their four adult children and many Grands in the backyard are the best times. Her favorite mode of transportation is the train, the longer ride the better!
