Who I am and How I can Help
I bring a unique blend of life experience,
spiritual practice, and healing modalities
to my work as a Grief Coach. Starting
Transcendental Meditation at 12, I’ve been
a lifelong student of A Course in Miracles,
the teachings of Thich Nhât Hanh and
Pema Chödrön, and various holistic
approaches. My own journey through chronic illness, caregiving, and profound loss has equipped me with practical tools for navigating life’s toughest moments. Most importantly, I get it.
My path has led me to find peace, even in the darkest times, and now I help spiritually conscious women make friends with their grief, rediscover their strength, and reclaim their joy. As an award-winning filmmaker and artist, I know the power of creativity and laughter to heal the soul. My coaching isn’t about platitudes—it’s about walking with you through the muck, finding moments of light, and helping you rebuild a new life filled with meaning, joy, and possibility (even when that still feels impossible).
Are you ready to get support in your grief?
My Background
My eclectic background includes Coaching, Art, Movement, Spirituality, and Healing Modalities.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in my early 20’s and found my way to remission, inclusive of nutrition, herbs, meditation, journaling, affirmations, acupuncture, chiropractic, yoga & pilates, and Ayurvedic Medicine.
And as a person who had debilitating chronic pain for years, I know what it is like to feel helpless and alone, to feel like a victim of my body and left behind by society. But though I will not be doing an Ironman anytime soon, I’m no longer at the mercy of physical pain. I’ve made friends with it in a way that has calmed my nervous system and transformed my life. This has informed my approach to all pain—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
