About Us
At The Embodied Grief Journey™, we support women navigating the loss of a parent and the quiet, often unseen impact it has on the body and nervous system.
Grief can leave you feeling unmoored—especially when, on the outside, you’re continuing to show up for work, family, and daily life, while internally feeling anxious, exhausted, or unlike yourself.
Rooted in trauma-informed care, this work integrates somatic practices, breathwork, and gentle reflection to create “safe enough” spaces where your nervous system can begin to settle, your experience can be witnessed, and you can reconnect with yourself in the midst of loss.
This approach bridges science and lived experience—honoring both the emotional and physiological impact of grief. Rather than rushing healing or relying on insight alone, we work with the body to help calm racing thoughts, restore rest, and rebuild a sense of steadiness and self-trust.
Through circles, one-on-one support, and guided experiences, The Embodied Grief Journey™ offers structured, compassionate spaces where grief can be tended—not fixed—so you can move forward without abandoning the love you carry.
If you’re navigating grief, loss, or a life transition shaped by loss, you’re warmly invited to Schedule a Complimentary Embodied Pause Strategy Session today to begin your journey.
If you’re quietly asking, “Who am I now that everything has changed?”
or “How do I move through this when I feel stuck in my body and spirit?” —you don’t have to do it alone.
We support people navigating loss, change, and life transitions who are seeking gentle, embodied approaches to grief. Our work blends somatic practices, mindfulness, and reflective tools to help you feel grounded, connected, and seen. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or seeking ongoing support, we walk alongside you with presence, compassion, and care.
Grief takes many forms—and so does the support we need to move through it.
We work with people navigating profound life shifts, especially the loss of a parent—along with caregiving burnout, identity changes, and the quiet unraveling that can follow loss.
Our clients are often deeply caring, capable people who have spent years showing up for others. On the outside, they’re functioning—managing work, family, and responsibilities. Inside, they may feel unmoored, exhausted, anxious, or quietly overwhelmed.
Many describe it this way:
“I thought I’d be doing better by now.”
“I feel disconnected from myself.”
“I don’t know how to move through this.”
They aren’t necessarily looking for traditional talk therapy. Instead, they’re drawn to gentle, somatic grief support that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
They want to feel safe in their bodies again. Grounded. Connected. Able to rest.
The people we serve are often in midlife and beyond—caregivers, teachers, helpers, and those who have long been “the strong one.” Now, they’re ready to be held.
At The Embodied Grief Journey™, we walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and steady presence. Through practices like breathwork, somatic movement, reflective journaling, and nervous system support, we help you move out of survival mode and gently find your way back to yourself.
This is where embodied grief support sessions and embodied grief circles can help you reconnect with yourself in a compassionate, body-based way. Schedule a Complimentary Embodied Pause Strategy Session to explore what kind of support feels right for you.
Core Values
-
Grief is not something to move past—it’s something to move with. We honor grief as a sacred process of remembrance, transformation, and love in motion. Whether it arises from loss, change, or life transition, grief carries wisdom and invites us into deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We honor its many seasons and expressions, trusting it as a lifelong companion that shapes meaning, compassion, and resilience.
-
We honor the body as a wise and trustworthy guide. Through somatic practices and gentle movement, we reconnect with sensations, emotions, and truth held deep within. The body is not a problem to fix, but a place to listen.
-
We prioritize consent, choice, and pacing in every session. Clients are always in the driver’s seat, free to share as much or as little as feels right in the moment. We recognize that healing is not linear, and honor the body’s wisdom to guide the process.
-
Inspired by Polyvagal Theory, we center practices that support regulation and co-regulation. Healing unfolds when the body feels “safe enough” to soften, sense, and integrate.
-
We show up with attunement, humility, and care—walking alongside each person as a witness and companion, never as a fixer. Healing happens in relationship, not isolation.
-
We work with the unseen—energy, intuition, and intention—as vital parts of healing. Practices like energy therapy, visualization, and grounding support the integration of the emotional, physical, and energetic body.
-
We draw inspiration from the natural world—its rhythms of change, rest, decay, and renewal. Nature reminds us that healing is cyclical, nonlinear, and deeply wise.
-
We honor the human need for ritual, symbolism, and sacred pause. Through breath, movement, ceremony, and intention, we mark moments of transition, remember our loved ones, and make space for new meaning to emerge.
-
We believe grief deserves language, learning, and embodiment. Grief literacy means deepening our understanding of how loss, change, and transition live within us and around us—personally, culturally, and collectively. Education helps dispel myths, reduce stigma, and expand compassion. Embodied practice invites us to move beyond the mind alone, honoring the body’s wisdom as an essential guide in grief. Together, literacy and embodiment create pathways for healing, resilience, and a more grief-informed world.
-
Healing thrives in spaces of belonging. We create inclusive containers for shared experience and honest connection, where people of all backgrounds feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Together, we nurture community that honors diversity, fosters equity, and celebrates the richness of our differences as a source of collective growth.
