Grief and Wellness Support

I am a certified holistic wellness coach through the International Association of Wellness Professionals (IAWP), and also a proud member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). Additionally, I hold a certification as a Grief Educator, through the teachings of David Kessler, renowned grief expert, co-author of "On Grief & Grieving" with Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, and best selling author of his most recent book "Finding Meaning."

Walking alone on the road from loss to a life of meaning can be dark and lonely. It's easy to get lost in the complex emotions surrounding grief. In my coaching practice, I employ a distinctive holistic approach that integrates various modalities, such as movement, breathwork, and visualization, to illuminate the way forward.

My own holistic wellness journey through grief began after years of stuffing my emotions and neglecting my self-care. In my twenties, I grappled with the loss of both my father and step-father, which were relationships marked by complexity and unresolved trauma.  Then in my early forties, after a three year battle, I said goodbye to my mother and sister, who both finally succumbed to cancer within a span of six months. Shortly thereafter I closed the doors to a business I had devoted a decade to nurturing. 

Still I kept forging ahead. Driven by a need to evade my pain and provide for my young family, I ventured back into the fashion industry. Two years later when I lost that job, the carefully constructed fortress I had built around me to shield my pain began to unravel. It took me several subsequent years to confront and heal the deep wounds left by loss and my upbringing. Today, I am so grateful for that difficult healing journey. It brought me to a life of profound peace and incredible meaning beyond my wildest imagination. 

Whether you are a caregiver grappling with the day-to-day challenges of anticipatory grief or a bereaved struggling with complex emotions that accompany loss my mission is to help you navigate the road to healing and transformation. While the sorrow of experiencing a deep loss may never entirely go away, through a holistic journey of self-discovery you can find peace, and create a life well-lived.
