My main area of practice is with widows and widowers and I help them move from surviving to thriving in grief.
I offer 1:1 session via zoom
I also do online group programmes
As a widow I went on my own transformational journey, and navigating grief was so much harder than I’d expected. I help you to clarify the misconceptions holding you back, to understand what is and isn’t normal, to manage your emotions and give yourself permission to feel them and grieve your loss. As we work through your unique challenges I help compassionately guide you to a place where you can find that there is life after loss, that you can find meaning despite your pain and that hope for joy is a real possibility. Being able to hope is vital for reimagining your future without your loved one.

I am a Certified Grief Educator, Grief Coach, and Life and Wellness Coach dedicated to walking alongside others as they navigate loss and life’s many transitions. My approach is rooted in compassion, mindfulness, and presence—honoring grief as a sacred expression of love rather than something to be fixed or overcome.
Through education, coaching, and lived experience, I support individuals in exploring the emotional, mental, and spiritual layers of grief with gentleness and respect for their unique journey. My goal is to create calm, nurturing spaces where healing can unfold naturally and meaning can be rediscovered in the midst of change.

Connect your mind~body~heart through breathwork, meditation-infused movement, and mindfulness.
As a bereaved mother, her yoga and teaching is rooted in the belief that breathing is life changing. It is in our darkest moments that we really need to be still, listen, and breathe with intention. Our breath deepens our mind~body~spirit connection which opens us to the healing inner wisdom of our heart.
Breathe with your whole heart ♡
My grief journey …
I know that when you lose someone you love, your life suddenly changes forever.
We are left alone, struggling, and feeling completely broken.
Even when surrounded by well intentioned family and friends, it’s important to feel heard, to be supported, and to really connect with someone who understands, so we are comfortable sharing our deepest pain.
Nothing could prepare me for the death of my beautiful 22 year-old daughter Natasha.
My life work is dedicated in honour of her ♡
