About Us

Welcome My name is Kira Vander Sluis, founder of The Mindful Vessel, and I am so grateful you’re here.

​

I created this space to help women find comfort within themselves and reconnect with their bodies. This is a place where you are invited to slow down, listen, and heal through gentleness and softness. I believe true wellness is not separate from faith, it is deeply connected to it. Creating space for God in your wellness journey is at the heart of everything I do.

Growing up, I was afraid to get to know myself. I was taught that tuning into my body was the opposite of what God wanted—that listening to myself meant I wasn’t being a “good” Christian. I believed this lie for so long that I eventually stopped recognizing myself in the mirror. My relationship with God was deteriorating by the second.

​

I was in pain. I was scared. I felt disconnected, sick, and though it’s hard to admit... angry.

​

Then God placed someone in my life who gently showed me the importance of being in tune with myself. Through that relationship, I began to understand something life-changing: God created you, and He also placed within you the tools needed to live your life fully and freely.

​

Tuning into your body is not separate from your relationship with God, it is part of it. Our bodies are not something to ignore or fight against; they are something to listen to, care for, and honor.

God has placed it on my heart to help others reconnect with their bodies, soften their approach to healing, and rediscover the safety, wisdom, and peace that already lives within them.
