Many women carry pain, searching for peace in all the wrong places. Healing begins as they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Reaching Hurting Women Ministries™

Millions of women walk through life with deep emotional pain—feeling trapped in loneliness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. As a result, they often turn to unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to soothe their pain. These behaviors may take many forms: sexual or relationship addiction, pornography, eating disorders, compulsive spending, drug and alcohol abuse, fantasy or codependency, and so much more.

At Reaching Hurting Women Ministries™ (RHW), we understand that every woman’s story is unique, but the heartache beneath the surface often looks the same. Through our online ministry of teaching resources, we provide a safe space for women to find encouragement, truth, and the hope of freedom found in Jesus Christ.

Our Story of Growth

In 2007, during the early years of her own recovery, Tamara began writing as a personal journal—hoping that by sharing her journey, she could encourage other women who were struggling with similar life issues. Over time, that journal grew into Reaching Hurting Women Ministries™: a platform of hope and healing for women around the world.

In 2011, Tamara was introduced to Benedictine spirituality through the teachings of Saint Benedict’s Rule. The timeless wisdom of living a balanced, prayerful, and intentional life deeply resonated with her recovery journey. Blending Benedictine principles with the traditional Twelve Steps of Recovery, Tamara developed a unique approach that integrates faith, self-discipline, and grace.

As Tamara grew spiritually, so did RHW. What began as one woman’s story of redemption evolved into a growing resource for women seeking restoration, renewal, and a deeper relationship with God.

Our Mission

At Reaching Hurting Women Ministries™, we are committed to learning and sharing new, healthy ways to overcome daily struggles. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we integrate biblical wisdom, prayer, Scripture confession, worship, journaling, and other creative expressions of faith. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help women walk in victory with Jesus Christ™—healing from past hurts and discovering their true worth in Him.

The RHW site continues to grow and evolve as a living ministry—rooted in God’s Word, inspired by real life, and strengthened by grace. Whether you are just beginning your recovery journey or seeking deeper spiritual growth, Reaching Hurting Women Ministries™ offers a place of encouragement, compassion, and truth.

As you explore the RHW archives, you’ll find over 15 years of resources: articles, book studies, and devotional reflections. Tamara has read more than 500 faith-based and personal growth books and has been writing reviews since 2010, drawing insights that continue to shape her ministry voice.

Wherever you are on your path, know that you’re not alone. Through Jesus Christ, every woman can find freedom, healing, and victory. We pray as you spend time here, the Holy Spirit will guide you into your own healing journey—one step, one moment, and one victory at a time.

Walking in Victory with Christ…

Tamara
