Hi. I’m Gihan (pronounced Jehanne), a life transition coach and certified grief specialist, and like many who find their way to grief work, I came through my own experiences of loss. Each of these losses left an imprint on my heart—and like many, I struggled to find meaningful support. Learning about grief gave me a deeper understanding of what it means to fully process and move through loss with self-compassion AND that it is necessary to feel our grief. As a culture, so many of us fear and reject this fundamental and necessary human experience.

The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful and life-changing experiences we can go through as humans. It can feel as though the ground beneath you has shifted, leaving you lost, grieving, and unsure of how to move forward. Even when life continues around you, it may feel like nothing makes sense anymore.

Grief can also come in the form of a relationship, a role, or a career abruptly ending, sometimes a life path that no longer fits.

You don’t have to do this alone. In this space, you’ll be supported, heard, and gently guided through the slow unfolding of what comes next.

We’ll honour what you’ve lost, and help you take meaningful steps towards a future that feels both possible and purposeful.

Life may never be the same, but in time, it can hold beauty and meaning again.

Hello,

I am Karen, founder of Reset and Rise coaching.  I offer a welcoming, nourishing space where you can be heard, valued and understood. Together we can gently awaken and,  in time,  celebrate your life after loss.

I live near Edinburgh, Scotland and work both online and in person.  I work as a grief educator and coach, intertwining both approaches in response to where you are on your grief journey.

I’d love to help you in a 1:1 situation or as a part of a small group. 

Sessions are around 50 minutes and take place weekly over  a three month period.

I also offer a one off focussed session to work with you on a specific question or to allow you to explore this kind of support.

I am passionate about helping those who are trying to support people in grief and therefore include friends, family and work colleagues in my services, providing guidance and confidence around the unspoken and tricky landscape of grief.

I look forward to hearing from you and walking with you on your healing journey.

Education , support and coaching: Grief Education; Grief Movement; Reiki; Breathwork; Meditation; Life Coach; All services are offered online and in-person (in-person limited to Capital Region of NYS).

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.
