About

As an anthropologist, I have worked on four different continents, speaking five different languages. I have observed and participated in family life in Europe, Africa, The Americas and Papua New Guinea. My doctorate is from Northwestern University.

I have been children’s advocate, play mate, clown, comforter, advisor and friend. I taught college students, made theatre, camped all over California, lived in 120˚ temperatures, and taught parenting classes. To some I am better known as Mr. Angela Jernigan.

I hold a M.Div. from Pacific School of Religion. I was awarded the Koinonia Award for significantly improving the spiritual, social and community life at PSR.

Later I completed 4 units of Clinical Pastoral Education at John Muir Health in Concord, CA. There I worked with patients, families and staff. At one of my evaluations, a nurse had this to say:

Even during stressful times on the floor his compassion inspired me to be a better nurse. Niels is always helpful to patients and staff!
Enjoyed working with Niels! He is very reliable and compassionate with patients.

Is Niels then the right person for you?

It’s really about the relationship us two can develop. That is why I invite you click her and set up a free 30 minute consult. No obligations at all, just to see if there is a connection between us.
