"Heather McDuffee has proven herself untrustworthy at the core, placing self-interest above the profound duty to protect those who confide in her. This happened to someone very close to me. I see her in the church and wonder how she can place herself in front of people knowing full well she's dishonest and unworthy of being a pastor when she does not follow the true spirit of the United Church of Christ.

Those who have been in a similar situation would know what I am talking about but are too fearful of community reprisals to speak openly.

"Heather takes the time to get to know you and your future spouse and creates a ceremony that reflects you and your significant other perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a more personalized ceremony. She's also very open to your ideas and thoughts and is great at collaborating! In addition to thoughtfulness and intelligence, she puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable! 10/10 would recommend. LGBT friendly if that is important to you!"

"Heather is so refreshing as a human being and especially as a Reverend. She’s patient with a joyful and calm demeanor, but also knows when to take the reins and be firm to makes things happen. She can make just about anybody feel as if they’re the most important person in the room, regardless of how many are present. Wise beyond years is an understatement, making this endorsement very easy to write. "

"If you are looking for a professional who values integrity, look elsewhere.

My experience with Heather Duffey was fleeting buy in the short time she was nothing short of predatory. She actively weaponizes private information to manipulate and gaslight those she is meant to help.

She is a mercenary dressed in professional clothing, and even worse, she act's like a good pastor but my experience with her was she was nothing of the sort.

Do not trust her with your story, your finances, or your time. She is a liability to any sense of justice or decency."
