The Koru Collective offers holistic, peer-to-peer online grief support on an individual basis, in small groups or through a monthly drop-in community circle. I also offer in-person workshops focusing on somatic practices and creating heart-centered tools for understanding and incorporating grief as we move forward in the wake of a loss.
The practice is rooted in the Koru Philosophy, Surrender, Trust, Do, which invites us to SURRENDER to our journey through grief, TRUST the process and DO for ourselves and others. The koru symbol represents the unfurling of a silver fern frond and the word represents new life, growth and perpetual motion. As we navigate our grief journey we are reminded to root into the earth and rise up to meet the light.
Together, we can create a sacred container to witness love, loss and grief. I would be honored to hold space for you and light the lantern that can bring you out of the darkness.
About Annemarie
Having experienced the tragic and personal loss of losing my love to mental illness in 2016, I embarked on a spiritual path to help me navigate the deep waters of my grief. I turned my pain into purpose and began helping others through their own journey through grief by sharing resources and spiritual tools and reframing grief as, simply, another expression of love. After some repeated nudges and whispers from the Universe, I could no longer ignore my soul’s calling to help others as a Grief Guide and I founded The Koru Collective in 2022.

When I lost my son, Joel, in 2017 to complications due to heroin/meth addiction, I entered a time of deep depression and utter hopelessness. When others tried to offer well-meaning support, they often tried to connect me with “their friend who lost their son in a car accident” or “someone whose child died after a tragic bout with cancer.”
It’s not the same.
There is a stigma associated with deaths of this kind and the judgment that says, “they did this to themselves” or a tendency to blame those who loved them. Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss understand there is no one-size-fits-all to working through grief.
Personalized Grief Support – Scheduled by you, on your timeline.
Some people prefer weekly “touchpoint” sessions, while for others, this is too much, too soon. You schedule your appointment via my personalized calendar. We will meet either by Zoom or, as many prefer, simply by phone.
