Grief Support Through 1:1 Embodied Care
The Embodied Grief Journey™ offers trauma-informed, one-on-one support for individuals navigating grief, loss, and life transitions—and the often unseen ways these experiences impact the body and nervous system.
Many of the people I work with are navigating the death of a parent or another profound life transition. Outwardly, they continue caring for others, showing up for work, and managing daily responsibilities. Inwardly, they often feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unlike themselves—as though their nervous system never has a chance to settle.
1:1 Embodied Grief Support is a steady, compassionate space where you don’t have to hold it all together.
Together, we gently work with the body—through somatic and relational practices—to help you move out of survival mode, ease anxiety, and begin to feel more grounded, rested, and connected to yourself again.
If your grief feels complex, overwhelming, or difficult to explain, you’re not alone. Here, you’ll be met with presence, steadiness, and care.

Explore Ways We Can Work Together
Grief is deeply personal, and there is no single right way to receive support. Whether you're looking for a place to begin, ongoing guidance, or a dedicated space for deeper renewal, each offering is designed to meet you with compassion, steadiness, and respect for your unique journey.
Support Options
Every grief journey is different. Explore each offering below to discover which level of support feels most aligned with where you are today.
-
Gentle support when you need it most.
A single 45-minute virtual session offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and receive compassionate support for whatever feels most present today. Together, we'll move at the pace of your nervous system through gentle conversation, somatic awareness, and grounded presence.
This may be a good fit if you:
Are feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
Need support navigating a recent loss or difficult life transition
Want a safe, compassionate place to process your experience
Prefer to begin with one session before deciding on additional support

Lasting support for meaningful transformation.
Some experiences deserve more than a single conversation. This four-session coaching package creates space for deeper integration over time, allowing us to build upon each session while supporting your nervous system, strengthening resilience, and reconnecting you with yourself in lasting ways.
This may be a good fit if you:
Want consistent support over several weeks
Are ready to move beyond simply coping
Desire accountability and continuity between sessions
Want to gently integrate grief while reconnecting with your life
-
A dedicated day to reconnect with yourself.
Sometimes healing asks for spaciousness. This immersive experience provides uninterrupted time to step away from the demands of daily life and gently tend to your nervous system, your grief, and yourself. Together, we'll create space for reflection, embodiment, and meaningful renewal.
This may be a good fit if you:
Feel emotionally depleted or burned out
Are navigating a major life transition or profound loss
Want a more immersive healing experience
Feel ready to devote focused time to your own well-being
-
Choosing support doesn't have to feel overwhelming.
Many people aren't certain which option is the best fit when they first arrive. If you'd like guidance, I'm happy to help you explore your options during a complimentary conversation. Together, we'll talk about where you are, what feels most supportive, and which path—if any—feels right for you.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and there’s no right way to carry loss. This support is not about fixing your grief or pushing you to move on—it’s about creating a steady, compassionate space where your experience can be met as it is.
Below, you’ll find more about what embodied grief support is, who it’s for, and how we might work together.
What Is Embodied Grief Support?
Grief support is often centered on talking about loss. While language matters, grief is not only a cognitive experience—it lives in the body.
Embodied grief support gently integrates somatic awareness, nervous-system regulation, and reflective conversation to support the whole person.
Why Grief Lives in the Body
Grief can show up as exhaustion, anxiety, tightness, numbness, restlessness, or a sense of being disconnected from yourself. These responses are not signs that something is wrong—they are natural expressions of loss. Embodied grief support helps you:
Notice how grief is showing up in your body
Build capacity to feel without becoming overwhelmed
Restore a sense of internal safety and grounding
This work honors grief as something to be experienced, not solved.
Who This Grief Support Is For
This 1:1 grief support is designed for adults navigating many forms of loss, including:
The death of a parent, partner, sibling, child, or beloved companion
Anticipatory grief or prolonged grief
Loss connected to illness, caregiving, or aging
Identity shifts, life transitions, or cumulative losses
Grief that feels invisible, delayed, or difficult to explain
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek grief support. Many people come because something feels tender, unresolved, or heavy—and they want a more compassionate way to carry it.
This support is not clinical psychotherapy or medical treatment. If you need licensed mental health care or crisis intervention, we can help you connect with appropriate resources.
What Makes The Embodied Grief Journey™ Different
Many grief support organizations offer groups, educational resources, or community-based programs. These can be incredibly meaningful.
This work is different.
Grief Is Felt, Not Fixed
At The Embodied Grief Journey™, grief is not treated as a problem to solve or a stage to complete. We honor grief as a natural response to love and loss.
There is room here for sorrow, anger, relief, confusion, longing—and for moments of meaning or connection to emerge alongside pain.
Personal, 1:1 Support—Not a Program
Your grief support is:
Personal – shaped around you, not a curriculum
Relational – grounded in presence and trust
Embodied – honoring the wisdom of the body
Non-pathologizing – grief is not something “wrong” with you
You are met as a whole person, exactly where you are.
If this approach resonates, the offerings below are simply ways to begin—there is no right pace and no expectation to decide immediately. You’re invited to notice what feels supportive, and to move forward only in the way that feels right for you. Whether you’re ready to begin now or want to talk things through first, you’re welcome here.
If seeing the options brings up questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings, that’s completely understandable. Beginning grief support is a tender decision, and there’s no expectation to have it all figured out right now. The section below offers a clearer sense of how sessions unfold, so you can decide with more ease and confidence.
What to Expect in 1:1 Grief Support Sessions
Each session is guided by what you need that day. There is no set agenda and no expectation to perform or explain your grief in a particular way.
Each Session Is Guided by What You Need
Sessions may include:
Grounding or settling practices
Gentle somatic awareness or movement
Space to share memories, emotions, or questions
Reflective prompts for meaning-making
Simple tools you can return to between sessions
Some sessions feel quiet and spacious. Others may feel tender or emotional. All of it is welcome.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Grief Support
Grief can activate the nervous system in powerful ways. You may notice heightened anxiety, emotional flooding, shutdown, or difficulty concentrating.
My approach to grief support is trauma-informed and nervous-system aware, meaning we move at a pace your body can trust.
Moving at the Pace of Your Nervous System
There is no pressure to relive painful memories or “go deeper” than feels safe. Instead, sessions focus on:
Establishing a sense of safety and regulation
Supporting choice, consent, and agency
Allowing grief to unfold gradually
This creates space for healing that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
The Impact of Compassionate Grief Support
With consistent, supportive care, many people experience:
Greater emotional steadiness
Increased capacity to feel without shutting down
A sense of being less alone in their grief
Renewed connection to themselves and their lives
More room for grief and meaning to coexist
Grief doesn’t disappear—but it can soften and integrate in ways that feel more livable.
Resources, Education, and Ongoing Support
In addition to 1:1 grief support, The Embodied Grief Journey™ offers:
Grief education to support understanding and literacy
Gentle practices you can return to anytime
Writing, reflection, and nature-based approaches
Seasonal and community offerings
Grief is not linear, and support doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all.
Accessibility & Care
Meeting You Where You Are
I believe grief support should feel humane, respectful, and accessible. I offer:
Virtual sessions for comfort and flexibility
A paced, consent-based approach
Care that adapts to your energy and capacity
If you’re unsure whether this kind of grief support is right for you, we can explore that together.
Begin Your Grief Support Journey

You deserve support that is steady, compassionate, and attuned.
