Who This Group Is For

A facilitated, non-judgmental support space for postpartum parents navigating life after birth—whether days, weeks, or months in. Here, you can: Speak openly about exhaustion, identity shifts, and emotional swings; Process birth experiences—spoken or unspoken; Normalize anxiety, grief, joy, numbness, and everything in between; Connect with other parents who are also figuring it out in real time. This is not a class. It's not advice-driven or performance-based. It's support for you, not just your baby.

You might be a:
  • You are postpartum (however you define that)
  • You feel changed in ways you can't fully name yet
  • You're craving connection without comparison
  • You want support that honors both your experience and your nervous system
What We Practice Together
  • Nervous system safety before problem-solving
  • Listening without fixing
  • Embodiment, breath, and gentle grounding
  • Voice, story, silence, and choice
  • You may talk. You may cry. You may sit quietly with your camera off and your baby in your arms. All forms of presence are welcome.

This space is inclusive of all birth stories, feeding journeys, family structures, and identities. You don't need to have the right words. You just need a place to be real.

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.
