Services Offered

I offer coaching and peer to peer support to those traversing the difficult terrain of grief. It is my intention and honor to meet people right where they are and to walk with them, bearing witness to their process and hold space for all that it encompasses.
About me: I am a certified grief educator, coach and grief movement guide who works with and is trained by renowned grief expert, David Kessler.  I am currently co-moderater of 2 specific loss groups for Kessler’s online grief community, Tender Hearts where I supports people facing anticipatory grief, and the loss of a loved one by long term illness/dementia. I support clients on Zoom and in person in my office on Whidbey Island, Washington. I also have deep experience in dementia and sibling loss. As an adult I have walked with both of my parents (who were difficult/abusive when I was a child ) through their illnesses and as they passed. As a published poet and writer, I work holistically with individuals supporting healing using a variety of modalities to build self-compassion, awareness, and the embrace of inner knowing.  I also currently devote my time as the Director of the Hummingbird Choir, a joyful singing community for those with memory challenges and a member of Whidbey Island Bedside Singers which brings gentle songs to those on the threshold of life, bringing moments of ease and comfort for clients, families and caregivers.  A group for working with grieving adults with my colleague, Kathryn Portnow is beginning soon. This is a six week closed grief support group on ZOOM for former caregivers (physical and or emotional) who’s loved one died from a long term illness. If this interests you please reach out.
I believe  that healing happens within connection and I am dedicated to serving others, letting you know you are not alone, what you are experiencing is grief, not something “wrong with you” and are held with compassion.
Zoom or phone sessions and sliding scale available. For More Information, call or text at 530 913-0320 or email me at debkiva@gmail.com
