Frequently asked questions.

What makes somatic grief support different from talk therapy?

Somatic grief support works with the understanding that grief is not only emotional—it’s also physical. While talking can be an important part of processing loss, many experiences of grief live in the body and nervous system. You might notice this as anxiety, restlessness, fatigue, or a sense of being “stuck.” In our work together, we gently incorporate body-based practices—such as breathwork, grounding, and mindful awareness—to support your nervous system in settling and integrating your experience. This isn’t about replacing traditional approaches, but about offering another pathway—one that includes the body as part of healing.

Who is this work best suited for?

Many of the people I work with are navigating the loss of a parent or another profound life transition. Often, they’re continuing to show up for work, family, and daily life—but internally may feel anxious, exhausted, or unlike themselves. You might notice your nervous system feels “on edge,” or like it hasn’t fully settled since your loss. At the same time, this work is not limited to one type of grief. I support individuals moving through many forms of loss—whether that’s the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, caregiving burnout, identity shifts, or cumulative life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward—and are drawn to a gentle, body-based approach—you’re welcome here.

Do I need any experience with yoga, meditation, or somatic work?

Not at all. All sessions and gatherings are beginner-friendly and guided with care. You’ll be supported to participate in ways that feel safe and accessible for you.

How long are the sessions and what should I bring?

One-on-one sessions are typically 60 minutes. Group Embodied Grief Gatherings are also one hour and may include meditation, journaling, or discussion prompts. All sessions are held virtually, and for group gatherings, you’re invited to bring a yoga mat, journal, and pen to fully engage in the practices..

Is what I share confidential, and will sessions be recorded?

Your privacy is deeply respected. One-on-one sessions are fully confidential, except as required by law. Group gatherings encourage confidentiality, though it cannot be fully guaranteed, so please share only what feels safe for you. Some sessions or workshops may be recorded for educational purposes; by attending, you consent to recordings being used in a way that protects participant privacy..
