Sacred Grief - Online Courses
I invite you to visit my new online school of Sacred Grief - courses dedicated to supporting yourself and others through difficult life experiences with dignity and resilience. Whether personal, collective or ancestral, grief is a form of intimacy which breaks our hearts open and, when tended to with care, allows us to remain responsive and in relationship with all life around us.

Grief Support
I provide individual grief support to help you navigate "living while grieving" and to cultivate meaningful healing strategies that honor your grief and loss/transition you are experiencing.
I provide families with support to navigate their loss together in meaningful and healing ways to meet the unique grief needs of each individual and the family as a whole.
Ancestral Healing
Our ancient ancestors are a source of guidance, healing and support, even if our recent generations contributed to, or were impacted by, personal and cultural harms. The ancient ones can help tend to our grief, help heal inter-generational ancestral traumas, and ensure that our loved ones who have recently died are well and cared for. Restoring ancestral connection also allows us to discover and embody more fully our inherited gifts and abilities. I provide guidance in ancestral lineage connection and healing.
Training & Group Process
I provide a variety of trainings and group process experiences rooted in trauma-aware practice and resiliency to organizations, businesses and communities who would like to increase their capacity to support healing and connection through difficult transitions and loss. I am also a facilitator with BC Bereavement Helpline and deliver trainings on supporting folks bereaved by homicide, suicide and substance-related deaths.
Whether supporting an individual, a family, or facilitating a community experience, I recognize people in their energetic and holistic selves - mental, emotional, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual - and as embedded in the wider field of the other-than-human world. I also strive to embody and work from a place that understands my own historical and social location as a colonial settler of European ancestry. I acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonialism, racism, sexism, earth disconnection, and other cultural wounds that work to erase the diversity and dignity of human and other-than-human experiences and expression. My work and offerings are trauma-aware and anchored in the resiliency of the human spirit, healing justice and animist values.
