Support for every state of grief, loss and healing
Grief education and somatic practice rooted in lived experience and professional training
Grief changes over time, and the kind of support we need often changes with it. Whether you are in the earliest days of loss, living with long-held grief, or navigating experiences that have resurfaced through life’s most difficult moments, these offerings provide steady, compassionate support for living with loss and moving forward in a way that feels manageable and real.
Compassionate Support for Grief and Loss
Gentle, personalized support for navigating grief and loss at your own pace.
Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, and deeply isolating. In the early days and months after loss—or when grief resurfaces later in life—many people experience waves of emotion, exhaustion, numbness, or a sense that life no longer makes sense.
These sessions offer compassionate support and companionship for navigating the early days and ongoing journey of grief. Together we can gently explore how loss affects the body, brain, and nervous system, and what may help you find moments of steadiness along the way.
Support is available through individual sessions, workshops, or group programs.
Some of these experiences may feel familiar:
- Why overwhelm, numbness, and exhaustion are common after loss or trauma
- Common experiences such as brain fog, anxiety, and deep fatigue
- How grief affects the brain, body, and nervous system
- How the nervous system responds to grief and the body–brain connection
- Gentle ways the nervous system can begin to find moments of steadiness
- How life can slowly begin to hold moments of connection, meaning, and joy again
For those who feel ready to explore deeper practices for supporting well-being and rebuilding life after loss, holistic health and grief coaching may also be supportive.
Grief Yoga® & Gentle Somatic Practices

Practices may include:

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of grief, loss, and trauma do you support?
I support people navigating many forms of grief and loss, including the death of a child, partner, parent, sibling, friend, or beloved pet. This can also include complicated or stigmatized losses such as suicide, overdose, or medically traumatic deaths.
Grief can also arise from many non-death losses, including the end of relationships, divorce, job loss, illness, identity changes, estrangement, and other major life transitions.
For many people, grief and loss can also bring earlier experiences of trauma to the surface, including childhood adversity or abuse. My work acknowledges the deep connection between grief, trauma, and the nervous system and offers compassionate practices that support healing and regulation.
What happens during a session?
Sessions are conversational and supportive. Depending on your needs, we may explore grief education, breathwork, gentle somatic practices, mindfulness, or grounding techniques that help regulate the nervous system.
You are always invited to participate at your own pace.
What are somatic practices or grief yoga?
Somatic practices focus on the connection between the body, the nervous system, and our emotional experience. Grief is not only something we feel in the mind and heart—it is also carried in the body.
Grief Yoga and other gentle somatic practices may include breathing exercises, mindful movement, grounding techniques, and opportunities for safe emotional expression. These practices can help the nervous system find moments of steadiness while honoring the experience of grief.
No prior yoga experience is necessary, and participation is always optional.
Is this therapy?
No. I am a certified grief educator, grief movement guide, and Stanford Medicine YogaX–trained holistic health coach. My work focuses on grief education, nervous system awareness, and supportive practices that help people learn to carry grief and trauma in a sustainable way.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Sessions are offered virtually so people can participate from wherever they feel most comfortable.
Can you speak to organizations or conferences?
Yes. I offer experiential presentations that blend lived experience, grief education, neuroscience, and somatic practices. These programs are designed for conferences, healthcare organizations, grief communities, and other groups seeking compassionate and science-informed approaches to grief and trauma.
Can grief and moments of joy exist at the same time?
Yes. One of the most hopeful truths about grief is that the human heart can hold more than one emotion at once. Over time, many people discover that moments of connection, gratitude, and even joy can return while love and grief remain present.
