Grief Certified Coach.

Helping people gently recover from significant emotional loss. Based in Surrey, UK, I am licensed to work both in person and online. Gently guiding people to recovery so they can move on from death (human or animal), divorce, estrangement or any other kind of loss and return fully to living.

I came to the Grief Recovery Program via my own grief journey, as a result of several losses, including my father’s suicide and the death of my partner of 17 years. The work I have done has allowed me to live my life fully again, keeping hold of fond memories and letting go of the pain.

I am now delighted to be able to offer support as a Certified Grief Educator and as a Grief Recovery Method Advanced Specialist, to help people move on from the pain of a broken heart and it will be my privilege to lead you carefully and safely through the action steps to recovery.

Contact me if you would like to find out more and we can have a gentle conversation about your loss and find out if you would like to work together to recovery.

I provide coaching and mentorship for people in grief.  Having experienced multiple deaths within my immediate family, and as the primary caregiver for an aging parent, now deceased, grief and I are old friends.  I draw on my experience as a bereaved daughter, sister, cousin, niece, and friend along with my professional experience as a Development Coach, Business Professional, Dare to Lead Facilitator, and Grief Educator to show up for each client offering space and grace to support them to honor their own grief, and navigate their own experience.

If you are looking for a safe space to navigate emotions, want to better understand the grieving process, be accepted regardless of how you are feeling, and ultimately feel a sense of peace and progress, let’s connect.

About Me

I am a Certified Grief Educator, trained directly by David Kessler (grief.com, 2021).
My work centers on supporting people who have lost someone dear – a partner, parent, child, sibling, or close friend.

I offer a warm, grounded space where grief can be spoken, honored, and gently tended to, without pressure to fix or move on.

With over a decade of experience as a mindfulness teacher, and a background as a birth doula, I bring compassionate presence, careful listening, and steady guidance.

Living in the wild nature of southwest Portugal has deeply shaped my understanding of grief, cycles of loss, and renewal and forms the heart of my work today.

How I Support You

1:1 Grief Companionship (Online & In Person)

A safe, attentive space to share your story and be met with full presence.
I support people through the emotional, relational, and practical layers of grieving, using mindful presence, reflection, gentle practices, ritual, and grief education.

Pathways through Grief – Retreat (Portugal)

A 6-day nature-based grief retreat, created specifically for people who have lost someone dear.

Held in southwest Portugal, with retreats in June and November 2026, this intimate experience offers time, space, and care to honour our loss and open to renewal. We tend to grief with mindful presence, gentle practices, and nature-based rituals, allowing what we carry to be acknowledged and expressed. We tend to ourselves with Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, sound journeys, nourishing meals and a rejuvenating massage. To give ourselves the well deserved rest and nourishment we need so that we can return home changed, holding ourselves and our grief in a different way.

Elements include:

• mindfulness practice
• guided griefwork
• gentle movement, e.g. Yin Yoga & Qi Gong
• grief rituals & nature-based ceremonies
• sharing circles
• sound journeys
• massages
• restorative rest & reflection
