The Body Grief Coach
Exploring grief, disability, illness, survival, and the messy work of being alive.
A space for sensitive souls,
Mad kin, neurodivergent folks, spoonies, misfits, and mystics.
The Body Grief Coach is a place for exploring what it means to live in changing bodies and changing lives.
I write about grief, disability, chronic illness, chronic pain, neurodivergence, plurality, survival, identity, loss, rest, and the messy spaces in between.
This is a space for experiences that don't always fit neatly into the usual ways of being understood, where we can slow down, get curious, and make room for what is real, complicated, painful, and always changing.
Some things don't have easy answers. Some things we're still figuring out. That's okay.
This is where I write, share what I've learned, and stay curious about what comes next.
What I believe
Care doesn't have to mean fixing.
Grief doesn't have to mean moving on.
Rest doesn't have to be earned.
Access isn't an inconvenience.
There isn't one right way to live in a body, experience a mind, move through grief, or build a life.
I believe in autonomy, interdependence, disability justice, Mad liberation, harm reduction, and making room for experiences that don't fit neatly into conventional models of care.
I believe we can take our experiences seriously without making them into problems that need to be solved.
What you'll find here
What Holds This Space
Autonomy & Self-Determination
Choice, consent, and self-determination are at the heart of this work. Your experience matters, and you get to decide what feels supportive for you.
Mad Liberation
Madness, neurodivergence, and different ways of experiencing the world are met with dignity rather than pathologized.
Grief & Liminality
Grief, endings, uncertainty, and the spaces between what was and what comes next deserve room.
Disability Justice & Access
Disabled lives, access, interdependence, and changing capacity are part of the foundation of this work.
Liberatory Harm Reduction
There is no single right way through survival. Support should make room for choice rather than coercion.
Interdependence
None of us are meant to do everything alone. Care moves between us.
About
Hi, I’m Jenn (she/they), the heart behind The Body Grief Coach.
I companion disabled and chronically ill folks, psych survivors, and those who are Mad, plural, or living with and navigating altered states as they move through life, grief, and threshold moments.
My work comes from years of navigating disability, neurodivergence, trauma, and systems that promised care but often caused harm. Because of what I have lived through, I honor survival, unraveling, and the slow reclaiming of autonomy as sacred.
