Who This Group Is For

This group is for caretaking professionals who spend their days holding space for others—and are feeling the weight of that responsibility.

You might be a:
  • Therapist, social worker, or counselor
  • Nurse or healthcare provider
  • Educator, advocate, or community organizer
  • Person whose work is rooted in care, service, and protection
Especially for you if you:
  • Feel stretched thin or emotionally depleted
  • Carry others' stories home with you
  • Love your work and feel exhausted by it
  • Rarely have a place where you get to be supported

If you're longing for community with people who understand the unseen labor of caring—and want a place to be honest, human, and held—this group was created with you in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What is grief coaching?

Grief coaching is a space to feel and move your grief in real time. We use simple practices like creative writing, movement, and reflection. This is not about fixing you. It is about helping your body process what it is holding.

02

How is this different from therapy?

Coaching and community care is about witnessing your pain and holding it together all while figuring out how to keep going. This work focuses on what you feel in your body right now.We do not pathologize your pain. No diagnosing or treatment. We move at your pace and use creativity to support your nervous system.

03

What kinds of grief do you support?

I work with women moving through many forms of loss. This includes death, divorce, illness, fertility struggles, and identity shifts. Sometimes we are just grieving for the collective, for the loss of safety for so many. My deepest work is with best friend loss and the changes that follow.

04

What happens in a 1:1 session?

Each session is simple and focused. We start with what feels most present for you. Then we teach about creative and body-based practices to help you move through it. You leave with something you can return to on your own.
