Grief Tending

I offer a gentle, sacred space for grief that centers presence, care, and the wisdom of feeling rather than fixing. Unlike clinical models that pathologize or categorize grief, this work honors it as a natural, honest and compassionately present response to loss. Through shared reflection, personally resonant ritual, and deep listening, I welcome grief in all its forms. I support emotional and spiritual expression without judgment or urgency, helping individuals walk with grief instead of around it and reconnect to the quiet aliveness it often carries.

Grief cracks your heart, but you must let it crack your heart more open, not more closed. This work is close to my heart for all sorts of reasons, and I’d be honored to support you on this journey.

I’m not a therapist trained to see grief as a symptom to eliminate. I approach this work through a spiritual lens, informed by my experience as a death doula. This isn’t about diagnosing or fixing you: it’s about creating space to feel, to express honestly, and to move through emotion in its natural, paradoxical waves. Grief doesn’t need to be treated; it needs to be witnessed. And my work as a death doula reminds me of that every day.
