companioning others in healing and wholeness
Shauna Janz, MA

I companion others through difficult experiences with dignity and resilience.
I am dedicated to nurturing the Sacred and community in the experience of grieving.
I guide others into the wholeness and gifts that are their ancestral birthright.
I am committed to tending belonging in our world, within ourselves, with each other, and with
our other-than-human kin.

Grief Support for Individuals & Families

I provide therapeutic individual and family grief support to help you navigate living while grieving, and to cultivate meaningful healing strategies that honor your grief (and the grief needs of the family as a whole) through the loss/transition. This can include trauma/attachment healing, self-designed ceremonies, and spiritual guidance, depending on your needs. Learn more...

Workshops, Training & Group Process

I provide grief capacity-building workshops, training on trauma-informed support, group therapeutic process, and grief ritual gatherings to organizations, businesses and communities. I also offer curriculum and program development consulting. I welcome collaborations and invitations locally and internationally to support your community; including online virtual events and offerings. Learn more...

Ancestral Connection & Healing

I offer ritual guidance to support you in reclaiming relationship with your ancestors and heritage.  This can support the reconciling and healing of unmetabolized grief, intergenerational trauma, cultural harms, and unhelpful family patterns, and support you to connect more fully with your inherited strengths and to gain clarity in your unique gifts. I am available to teach and guide group ritual in ancestral healing. Learn more...


We are in challenging times ripe with anxiety and grief for social and ecological collapse. We are also in significant times of potential and resilience. One of the medicines that is being called forth is the ability to be with the unknown and uncertainty that is prevalent in our lives, personally and collectively. Deepening our capacity to grieve not only honors what is happening, but also deepens our capacity to hold steady during these liminal times of transition and change. The capacity to be with ambiguity and in the "betwixt and between" is vital to our ability to remain present to what is emergent and healing as a way forward. Whether your grief is for personal loss, ecological despair, or cultural and social traumas (which are all inter-connected), the work of grieving is one necessary skill for these troubled times.

Our grief is an offering that supports  life and affirming relationships. I welcome you to visit Sacred Grief - online offerings to explore, learn, deepen and practice the skills of grieving and supporting others in grief.


Online School of Sacred Grief

Courses to support yourself and others through grief with dignity and resilience.

I invite you to visit
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/somatics-informed and anchored in the resiliency of the human spirit, and in animist and decolonizing values.
I welcome you to my newsletter, sent out every 2-3 months to keep informed about upcoming programs, free resources, and other opportunities. 
I am grateful to live and work on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Lekwungen-speaking people.
