How You’ll Be Supported

Sacred Emotional Space

Grief, especially around chronic conditions, can feel isolating and overwhelming. This space invites you to express your deepest emotions, whether anger, sadness, or fear, without judgment and receive compassionate support through it all.

Support for Life-Altering Changes

A new diagnosis or major health shift can leave you feeling lost. I offer empathetic support that honors your autonomy, helping you process intense emotions so you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Grief Support

Grief isn’t something to fix. It is a journey. This is a sacred space to reflect, process, and heal at your own pace. Wherever this path leads, I am here to offer a compassionate presence along the way.

Disability Doula

Adjusting to a new reality, whether due to a diagnosis, mobility changes, or shifting identity, can be challenging. I provide empathetic support to help you navigate these transitions, challenge internalized ableism, and embrace your evolving self.

In This Personal Grief Care Container, You Will Find an Embodied Approach to Grief

Grief is not just emotional. It is physical too, especially for those living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or disability. The weight of grief can deepen the strain on your body, increasing tension, fatigue, and discomfort. Mindful movement offers a way to process and release these burdens, providing comfort and restoring balance to both body and mind.

Mindful Movement Practices

Gentle, accessible movements designed to reconnect you with your body. These practices are adaptable to your needs and help release both physical and emotional tension, offering relief and ease.

Breathwork Techniques

Breath is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system and supporting emotional release. Together, we explore breathing techniques that promote calm, balance, and resilience during difficult times.

Embodied Awareness

By tuning into how grief manifests in your body, movement and awareness practices create space for expression, integration, and connection. This process supports a deeper sense of grounding in your grief journey.
