The Body Grief Coach
GRIEF COACH | COMMUNITY CARE WORKER | DEATH MIDWIFE
Here...
Tenderness is embraced.
Grief is witnessed.
Connection is the medicine.
Are you navigating grief tied to chronic illness, pain, disability, or life transitions and yearning for a space where your experiences are seen and understood?
Do you feel disconnected from traditional mental health approaches and long for a liberatory, non-carceral path to healing that honors your autonomy?
Are you curious about embodied practices, mindful movement, breathwork, or meditation as ways to explore healing and create new possibilities in your life?
If any of this resonates, you are in the right place.
Here, you are free to show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or expectations to “fix” yourself. Together, we’ll create a compassionate and supportive space where your experiences are validated, your access needs are honored, and your healing journey is guided with care.
Through a holistic, healing-centered approach, I support you in nurturing your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, helping you tap into your inner wisdom and find peace in the process.
If this feels like what you’ve been searching for, I invite you to explore how we can work together to support your healing journey.
Offerings
All sessions are virtual via Zoom and offered on a sliding scale
-
What is your approach to holistic support?I support folks through a healing-centered approach by: Creating a Supportive, Non-Judgmental Space: Providing a space where you feel heard, supported, and validated, whether you need to express your emotions, work on a task, or simply share time together. Providing Holistic Peer Counseling: We practice mindful movement together, read a book, make crafts, tackle to-do lists, or simply co-regulate and co-exist—whatever you need in the moment. Together, we navigate challenges and envision more liberatory ways to support each other. Offering Accessible Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork: Helping you connect with your body and breath in a way that feels right for you. Connecting You with Resources: Assisting you in finding support and providers that align with your needs to ensure you have access to the resources that best support your journey.

What can I expect during a session?In a session with me, you can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space tailored to your unique needs, whether you're navigating mental health challenges or chronic illness. We’ll engage in holistic practices like accessible yoga, meditation, and breathwork, and I’ll offer personalized peer counseling and resource connections. Sessions are available virtually, and I provide flexible payment options, including a sliding scale. Overall, you’ll receive continuous support in a collaborative environment designed to empower and guide you on your journey.
-
Do you offer virtual sessions?Yes, I offer virtual sessions to provide flexibility and accessibility. All sessions can be conducted via Zoom
-
How does the sliding scale work?I offer a sliding scale of $25-50 per hour for my sessions to make them accessible to a wider range of people. This system is built on honesty, respect, and accountability, allowing you to choose a rate that reflects your financial situation—no income verification required. If you can comfortably meet your basic needs, have expendable income, and can afford things like vacations or new items, I encourage you to pay toward the higher end of the scale. If you sometimes feel stressed about covering your needs but manage to get by, the middle range might be a better fit for you. If you regularly struggle to meet your basic needs or have little to no expendable income, the lower end of the scale is here for you. Paying what you can genuinely afford keeps this model sustainable, helping ensure those with greater financial need can still access services. It also supports my ability to continue offering lower-cost or free options, while allowing me to be fairly compensated for my work.
-
What payment methods do you accept?I accept payments through PayPal and Venmo. Payment is required at the time of the session. If you have any questions about payment, please feel free to contact me.
-
How do I schedule a session?You can schedule a free 15-minute Connection Call or book a session directly through Calendly. For any questions, feel free to email me at bodygriefcoach@gmail.com or fill out the form on the Contact Page.
Guided by these values, I strive to create compassionate, accessible spaces where personal wisdom, autonomy, and lived experience are honored.
Tenderness
I lead with compassion, creating spaces free from judgment or the pressure to ‘fix’ yourself. Healing happens at your pace, honoring your complexity and unique needs.
Inclusivity
My space is open and affirming for all, including LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and MMINDS (Mad, Mentally Ill, Neurodivergent, Disabled, Survivors). Your identity is celebrated here.
Mad Liberation
Celebrating the freedom and empowerment of mad, neurodivergent, and disabled individuals. Together, we challenge oppressive systems and embrace pride in diverse experiences.
Healing-Centered Approach
Trauma is a shared experience. I integrate tenderness, spirituality, and community care to foster collective and individual well-being, moving beyond pathology.
Survivor-centered and Survivor-led
As a survivor, I center the voices, autonomy, and needs of others with similar lived experiences, ensuring that care is truly person-centered and empowering.
Liberatory Harm Reduction
Practices that reduce harm while respecting autonomy and personal choice. I work toward a world free from systemic violence, centering care and empowerment on your terms.
Disability Justice
I challenge ableism and structural oppression by advocating for accessibility and inclusivity in every aspect of care. Everyone deserves support that feels good to them, where their access needs are not only met but deeply honored.
Anti-Oppression and Abolition
I actively challenge harmful systems—racism, capitalism, ableism—and advocate for transformative change, focusing on equity and justice for all.
ABOUT ME
.png)
Hi, I’m Jenn (she/they), the heart behind The Body Grief Coach.
My journey through trauma, madness, disability, chronic illness, and pain has shaped who I am today. Navigating a system that often misunderstood me, I discovered the power of holistic healing—embracing mind, body, and soul.
Surviving childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, cancer, and living with chronic illness and multiple disabilities, I’ve learned to reclaim my story and find strength in embodied practices. These experiences inspire my commitment to compassionate, person-centered care.
I blend embodied healing and accessible yoga, grounded in liberatory harm reduction, disability justice, and Mad Liberation, to create a supportive, inclusive space where you are honored as a whole person.
