**I’m a Family Grief Coach and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator who helps families navigate loss together with compassion, honesty, and hope. I specialize in supporting parents and children to communicate, heal, and stay connected—honoring each person’s unique grief journey without judgment. My approach is grounded, empathetic, and practical, focused on creating safe spaces for big feelings and fostering genuine connection in the midst of heartache.

I am certified in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Trauma, which as allowed me to work even deeper with individual clients and groups. Most recently, my online support group, Rooted in Healing, has been focused on this and the nervous system in grief healing.

My work is rooted in the belief that grief changes us, but it doesn’t diminish our capacity for meaning, connection, or joy. I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, that joy and grief can coexist.

I work with individuals, families, teams, and organizations.

On Zoom, in boardrooms, conference venues, retreats, or at ranches alongside horses, I facilitate experiences that foster healing, personal growth, authentic leadership, and meaningful connection.

I also serve as an instructor and mentor coach at the Center for Equus Coaching and at the Martha Beck Wayfinder Coach Training, both of which are accredited ICF Level II Training programs.

Grief and loss have been among my greatest teachers. I was widowed at 23 and, by the age of 30, had lost my mother and all of my grandparents. Those experiences shaped not only my life, but also my calling. During the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, I spent a decade working in HIV/AIDS, interviewing research participants, facilitating support groups for women living with HIV, and bereavement groups for those grieving the loss of loved ones.

Along the way, I found love again, remarried, and built a business devoted to helping others grow through life’s challenges. Today, I live in San Diego with my husband, our calico cat, and four horses who partner with me in Equus Coaching. Every time I’m with them, they remind me to slow down, stay grounded, and be fully present.
