Held was created with the intention of holding space for end-of-life experiences, to bring light into the mystery of death, and provide a safe place to confront fears which can lead to living a more connected and meaningful life.

Death changes us. It creates a “before” and “after” in our own life stories. I welcome clients who are open to allowing the experience of grief to reshape, transform and create a better “after” life but need help with the “how.”

In addition to certification as a Grief Educator, I have also received training and certification as Life Coach,  Communication and Leadership Coach, NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist which gives me additional skills, tools and techniques to guide clients in healing through grief and fully embracing life after loss.

Services I Offer:

1:1 Grief Coaching

I’m the director on the Boston and South-Africa based, nonprofit (501 c 3) Animal Talks,  an ordained nondenominational Pastor, ordained Animal Chaplain, and Credentialed Pet Loss and Grief Counselor/Credentialed Life Coach.

In these capacities, my work has focused on the animal-human bond and the grief when that bond has been severed by death. But because the death of a pet is a portal into many other losses, mostly unmourned, my work has expanded to include working with the bereaved in their other losses.

These losses most often include lost relationship trust, loss of a parent or sibling, loss of a beloved companion.

I perform one-on-one coaching via video or phone, at the client’s preference.  Please contact me to schedule a free sample session to determine our fit and answer any questions you may have.
