let’s sit together
Bring your tender heart. There is space for you here.
*I will be taking a summer pause with one-on-one support to tend my own roots*
I am still available for group experiences, workshops, and grief education requests. Feel free to keep up with some of my community offerings through Queer Death Club or check out this guided grief meditation for support. :)
This work is for anyone open to forging belonging in and to their grief. Who is in search of earth honoring, spiritually & trauma informed transition work that creates space for your unique and changing expressions of grief while being held in loving presence and company that centers your own wisdom, process, and experience. For those who wish to share their stories and those of their beloveds, to be witnessed, heard, and listened to in the full breadth of human experience.
-
Wending the Wilderness
Ongoing companioning through the wending of your grief journey. Grief inclusive of all sorts and forms of loss, change, or transition, not only death.
Sessions include deep listening, reflection, and invitation into ritual, embodiment, and earth based resourcing through whatever is present for you in your experience. Making space for the full spectrum of your expression of grief and loss.
-
Sacred Rememberence
Memorial sessions to share stories, mementos, and emotions around a specific loss as a way to allow your memory to live on and ripple out beyond you, to be held close by another and honored in the way it lives through you.
Includes invitation to create a ritual of remembrance as a touchstone to this loved one, situation, or life season to remember and continue to weave this memory into your present life and share in the joys and sorrows of rich human relationships.
-
Tending the Threshold
Shorter term container of ritual crafting & meaning making to accompany you in preparation, walking through, and integrating a specific life transition and cross thresholds of change with resilience, connection, and presence.
This may more practically help you build capacity to sit in life’s fertile places of transition like dying, moving, ending or beginning relationships, careers, or seasons of life- with more grace and meaning while allowing them to be woven into your personal story.
-
Returning to the Chrysalis
Revisiting unhonored or overlooked transitions, griefs, or rites of passage like first menstruation, leaving home, relationship change, coming out, deaths, birthdays etc. and creating ritual that authentically honors this experience and supports you moving forward from a place of deeper integration.
Marking time in ways that affirm and align with your experience then and now and help you feel seen, whole, and held in your becoming.
I also welcome…

Reciprocity
This work is a deep offering from my heart and I am of the ethic that we all deserve spaces where we can be held and witnessed in our process of grief and life. I desire to live in a world where this wisdom and these skills are again held in common and we all have capacity to care for the grief and mourning of ourselves and each other. I also recognize that at this time there may not be many spaces or people in our lives where this is possible.
Therefore, what is important to me is that I am able to support you to feel peace and healing through this time and you know that the love and care I offer you is genuine and free. The money you offer flows directly to sustaining the physical container of our shared space (paying rent) and allows me to access the resources I need to continue doing this work with integrity.
Sliding scale and barter options are available to meet those of various & varied resource levels and to affirm a community of mutual care and reciprocity. Sliding scale payment usually ranges from $50-90 per session depending on the container we create.
I also acknowledge that resources shift and change and ability to pay and in what form might shift and change as well. I always welcome conversations around these changes and finding an agreement that honors both of us. My intention is that I don’t add any additional hardship, financial or otherwise, to your experience, so please reach out to explore creative ways we can support each other :)
Let’s sit together
If what you see here resonates with your longing to be held, seen, and to belong in your grief and transition while cultivating deeper connection to Earth and each other, send me a message and we’ll start deepening our roots together :)
