Grief and chronic pain can feel like you are drowning…
I’m here to help you navigate the waves of grief and pain, carving out tiny pockets of space for peace, joy, and hope—even when that feels absolutely impossible.

Hi, I’m Elisabeth Jamison.
I’m a MindBody Grief + Pain Coach and award-winning filmmaker. I spent years telling stories about grief, suffering, and transformation for top networks—before I had to live those stories myself.
After losing both of my parents and several loved ones in quick succession—and navigating years of debilitating chronic pain—those universal themes became deeply personal.
Their deaths shattered my world. Days felt endless. Everything was unrecognizable.
I had panic attacks. My hair fell out in clumps. And the pain in my back became so unbearable, I felt like I was trapped in my own body.
But slowly, breath by breath and bit by bit, grief became my most profound teacher.
And in that same process, I discovered something that changed everything: chronic pain and unresolved grief are often two sides of the same coin.
With the right tools and compassionate support, I learned how to gently rewire my nervous system—and began to heal not just emotionally, but physically.
Now, as a MindBody Grief + Pain Coach, I bring the hard-earned wisdom of someone who’s lived through it—and found a way forward.
I guide others through their own losses—whether emotional, physical, or both—and help them rediscover safety, meaning, and joy in their bodies and their lives.
Chronic pain and grief are more connected than we realize—
And our society is both grief- and pain-illiterate, which makes the experience even more brutal.
Grief doesn’t follow neat stages. It doesn’t work on anyone’s timeline.
And chronic pain? It isn’t always about what’s structurally “wrong”—sometimes it’s your brain doing too good a job protecting you.
I help clients gently retrain their nervous systems, making healing possible—not only emotionally, but also physically.
If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, like no one gets what you’re going through, and you can’t get your head above water—guess what? That is normal.
You are not broken.
You are not crazy.
You are just grieving. Or hurting. Or both.
And you don’t have to go through it alone.
Together, we’ll create a safe container for your healing—in all the ways it may show up, including brain fog, physical pain, anxiety, fear, and despair. We’ll honor your loss while gently finding a way to let some laughter and hope back in.
It’s not about “moving on”—
It’s about moving forward.
In your way. On your timeline.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Let me help you.
