“Over the past 4 years, Hilary has been very effective in running emotional health workshops and offering personal support to us at City Mission. Her commitment to create safe and transformative spaces for myself and our staff has been evident as she has guided us through personal growth and healing.
Hilary brings a unique ability to connect with people, offering both practical insights and deep emotional support. Her experience in leading workshops, mentoring individuals, and fostering resilience makes her exceptionally well-suited to facilitate retreats for NGOs and ministry teams.
I wholeheartedly would recommend her, knowing she will bring the same passion, wisdom, and care that she has demonstrated in her work with us.”
“Hilary has a wonderful gift for leading retreats with a passion, clarity, great illustrations and invitingly calling people into retreat whether they have done a retreat before or it is their first time. Hilary has done 2 on-line retreats for my team, who come from diverse backgrounds across a number of countries from the US to Malawi to Thailand. I so value her professionalism and yet personal touch. She shows vulnerability as she leads which opens up the floor to invite others into the same. I have had a lot of good feedback and follow up from the team. I would highly recommend her.”
“Hilary Murdoch is the best kind of coach – and I have experienced quite a few! She is bright but not pushy, always gives one time but does not make demands and through photographs and suitable questions, uses those parts of my brain that I don’t naturally use – the creative and left side. I always come away refreshed and thinking new ideas.
I have no hesitation in commending her warmly,”
Very Revd John Irvine, MA, Dean Emeritus, Coventry, UK
“I have known Hilary over many years, and in the last 3 years she has facilitated Micah Chapel, the online members’ forum for biblical reflection, prayer and encouragement.
Hilary brings professionalism combined with a discerning, pastoral and faith-filled ministry practice. She can work across race, age, culture and denomination and is equally adept at working online and in-person.”
“Instead of just rushing off into the new-year, the staff found it very useful to take the time to reflect and hear from God. It was refreshing and very valuable.
For me it was extremely valuable, as I came to learn just how much spiritual and personal development is needed with the staff.”
“Hilary’s upbeat, buoyant but sensitive personality made us all feel relaxed, comfortable and willing to share.”
“Led with sensitivity and openness to God being at work.”
“Hilary was sensitive to the needs of the participants as she led and navigated through the week.”
“Found it excellent, transformative. Ministered to me deeply and reassured me for the future. Definitely refilled me.”
“Peace and space to rest and hear from God with gentle & helpful guidance.”
“I felt it was so beneficial to take time out in this way. God really spoke powerfully to me and left me rested, encouraged and loved by God.”
“The retreat leaders really helped me to be enthusiastic about hearing from God which was waning a little from tiredness.”
“The retreat helped me find more clarity about my particular calling and equipping. The retreat was extremely well led and, from my perspective, very valuable.”
“The part that most blessed me was being led by someone who both knew theology very well and was well versed in it, and who had also experienced challenges in life and was prepared to share from her own personal experience. It was excellent – one of the best retreats I’ve ever been on! I loved the balance of teaching, time out, prayer activities, space for reflection and introspection, skilled and well-structured input and also personal ministry.”
“The structure, material and the way it was delivered was perfect. Hilary’s approach was leading us to Jesus all the time. The content was rich and perfect for me. All the sessions spoke to my heart and things I’m dealing with. Hilary led sensitively and passionately into the arms of Jesus.”
“Hilary, you have been great. Pitched just right for me. Loved working with images. Loved opportunity for reflection. One-to-one time with you was really helpful.”
