Moving Through Grief in the Four Realms
Some "fun facts" about grief: Grief is anything but linear, and there is no "getting over it". We will, in fact, grieve for the rest of our lives. But it is absolutely possible to learn how to carry our grief with our joy, our sorrow with our gratitude, our anger with our peace.
​
Every loss stays with us, at least in our memory. Some losses are so profound that it seems like we will be in the deeply depressed stage of grief for the rest of our lives. We might, in fact, deal with depression for the rest of our lives -- but that does not mean that we will never experience joy and the fullness of life ever again.
​
-
Are you asking yourself all the big life questions all at once? You'll begin to find the answers that resonate with you.
-
Are you gripping the grab bars on the emotional rollercoaster of grief? You'll learn how to identify, express, and regulate your (often unpredictable) emotions.
-
Do you feel indecisive, overwhelmed by racing thoughts, and/or conflicted by your beliefs vs. reality? "Grief brain" is real. Start integrating your new understanding and develop wisdom from the grief experience.
-
Does the grief feel literally stuck in your body? Or are you pushing yourself in order to "get it out"? You'll learn somatic release methods, rest and restoration practices, and how to feel grounded again.
​
Using the process that I developed while moving through my own grief after several sequential and significant losses, you'll learn how to process your grief in the Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, and Physical Realms, and start creating the highest vision for the life ahead of you.
​​​
What you'll get:
​
-
6 one-hour 1:1 sessions
-
Guided meditations, journal prompts and other exercises to process your grief
-
Text and email support in between sessions as needed

$2,500 or two payments of $1,275

Mended with Gold: Creating a Beautiful Life After Loss
SIGNATURE LIFE COACHING / PEER GRIEF HYBRID PROGRAM
This 6-month program is a hybrid of traditional coaching and peer grief support, tailored to meet you where you are right now. If any of these sound familiar, this process can help.
​
**Identity Whiplash** - I'm struggling to reconcile who I was before I lost X with who I am now. Some days I barely recognize myself in the mirror, and I'm exhausted from pretending to be "fine".
​
-
What I want instead is **Integrated Authenticity** - to honor who I was, who I've become through loss, and who I'm becoming. I want to feel whole again, to feel more beautiful because of my scars.
​
**Career Hollowness** - My job once felt important, but now feels empty of meaning. I'm burned out from pouring energy into work that doesn't align with who I am now, but terrified of walking away from financial security.
​
-
What I want instead is **Purposeful Work** - I'm seeking work that matters—whether that's reshaping my current role, finding a new direction, or creating something of my own that reflects what I now understand about life's fragility and meaning.
​
**Relationship Shifts** - Some friends have disappeared or say unhelpful things like "aren't you over it yet?", while others hover with suffocating concern. I struggle to communicate what I need when I barely know myself.
​
-
What I want instead are **Honest Connections** - I crave relationships where I don't have to minimize my experience or perform "recovery," but can be authentically seen in both my grief and my emerging strength.
​
**Paralyzing Indecision** - I feel simultaneously urgent about making changes and completely frozen about what to do next. I lie awake thinking "life is too short" but can't seem to take meaningful action during daylight hours.​
​
-
What I want instead is **Confident Action** - I want to move through each day with a clear sense of what matters now, making decisions that honor both X's memory and my remaining time. I need practical ways to translate "life is too short" into actual choices that align with my truest values.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
What you'll get:
​
-
12 biweekly one-hour sessions
-
Collaborative and self-guided activities and exercises
-
The tools to create a new life/find a new sense of purpose after a loss or other life-altering event
-
Renewable contract as needed
​​
$3600 or two payments of $1850

The Golden Path
SIGNATURE LIFE COACHING PROGRAM
Do you feel sluggish, lonely, bored, stuck, broke, adrift, dissatisfied or disconnected? Are you frustrated because you KNOW you're a smart person and think you should be able to figure out how to get what you want? Or even to figure out WHAT you want? Or maybe you know what you want AND how to get it, but you're just not getting there on your own...
​
We ALL have our blind spots, including coaches! I have been working with a coach for 8 years, and she has a coach, and her coach has a coach! We're all smart people. It has nothing to do with intelligence. Managing all that modern life requires is A LOT, and we often don't have someone who can objectively listen and reflect back what we say. Or we're just so exhausted that taking time to do this personal exploration keeps getting pushed to the back burner.
​
Do you want to prioritize taking just one hour a week for yourself, to get really clear about what you want and how you want to feel? To be supported in achieving goals or transforming the quality of your life and relationships? I'd love to be your accountability buddy!
​​
What you'll get:
​
-
12 weekly one-hour sessions
-
Exercises and activities prescribed as needed
-
Individualized and tailored support around specific issues and goals
-
Renewable contract as needed
​
$3600 or two payments of $1850

Journeying Within
Is something missing, but you can’t put your finger on it? Are you looking for a career or life change, but don’t know what you want to do? Together, we'll do a deep dive into your core values, life purpose, skills, interests, and desires.
​
The result of this process is frequently the discovery of a single new direction, and confident movement in that direction.
​
OR maybe you’re a bit more cautious about decision-making, or need a little more time to get to the heart of the matter. Great! Get to know yourself and what you need. This process might take a little more time, and a little more ‘testing out’ of various new elements and options. Everyone moves and is ready for change at their own pace. You may find that you need additional sessions at an additional fee to feel complete in this process. We’ll cross that bridge if we come to it!
​​
What you'll get:
​
-
6 one-hour sessions (either weekly or biweekly; it's up to you!)
-
Customized activities and exercises to help you get clarity
​​
$997 or two payments of $500
