Meet the Founder
Gretchen M. Baumgardt, M.Div., Ph.D.
Welcome!
I founded Be Blessed Wellness in 2015 to offer opportunities for learning and spiritual well-being outside of my professional career.
I bring over 25 years of experience in teaching, leading retreats, and developing and facilitating spiritual formation programs, primarily in higher education.
I earned a Master of Divinity from the University of Notre Dame and an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Marquette University. My dissertation focused on the intersection of ecofeminist theologies, Christian spirituality, and environmental justice. I taught courses on these and related topics during my years as a visiting assistant professor at Marquette.
While I’m rooted the Catholic tradition, I find many commonalities with other spiritual traditions and have engaged in ecumenical and interreligious study and dialogue throughout my career. I approach life’s adventures with curiosity, compassion, and a good sense of humor. I look forward to working with you!
