Transform your heartache into love with mindfulness and compassion

Grief is a deeply personal journey, and I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. You don’t have to walk this path alone. My mindfulness-based approach is designed to help you navigate even the toughest moments with clarity, calm, and confidence. My private sessions, grief support community, books, and free resources will show you how to:

  • Navigate difficult emotions with compassion and mindfulness
  • Discover how to adapt to life’s changes with resilience and self-care
  • Find calm in the midst of overwhelming feelings
  • Build a renewed sense of purpose and connection through mindful support

Why Mindfulness for Grief?

My passion for this work comes from my own experience with mindfulness and loss. I know firsthand the transformative power of mindfulness—it allowed me to see beyond the pain and reconnect with life. Inspired by that healing, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others find peace, connection, and strength.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Thanatology and certifications in Yoga Therapy and Relationship Coaching, which inform my personalized approach to grief support. My books, including Living with Grief (formerly Mindfulness and Grief), have been used in hospices, grief groups, and professional trainings around the world. This 8-step system, grounded in research and compassion, is at the heart of my work.

Whether we connect through private sessions or online programs, my goal is to help you transform your relationship with grief and create a full, meaningful life while honoring your loss.

Mindfulness Is Not About Toxic Positivity or Spiritual Bypassing

Grief is a natural response to loss, and it deserves to be met with honesty and compassion. My approach is not about ignoring or bypassing the pain of grief with feel-good platitudes. Instead, mindfulness invites you to acknowledge your emotions, sit with your pain, and move forward in a way that feels authentic and grounded.

This work is about creating space for both the sorrow and the healing, honoring your loss while gently reconnecting with life.

Whether we connect through private sessions or online programs, my goal is to help you transform your relationship with grief and create a full, meaningful life while honoring your loss.
