Grief is the price we pay for love, and it is a sacred journey that must be honoured

One-to-one grief support sessions - the pain of loss is not meant to be borne alone

​

When loss and bereavement enters our lives, everything can feel different.  As the pain of loss sears through us, the ground beneath us shifts and the way forward becomes uncertain. 

​

Loss can be a lonely path, asking us to bear what feels unbearable. The love we have had and lost, and the love we never received - requires wider holding, and companionship on the path. 

​

Grieving together is a bridge to healing, grief ask for a space to be welcomed, to breathe, to feel and express, to be witnessed and be held with care.

​

I offer one-to-one grief support sessions, providing a gentle and compassionate space where you can bring your loss exactly as it is. Together, we make room for your grief, allowing it to be felt safely, without judgement or the need to be anything other than yourself. 

​​​

Grief comes into our lives in many ways​

​

• Bereavement of a dearly beloved one or a complicated love. 

• Endings - of a dream, or a relationship

• Sorrows of the world - the atrocities of genocide, the pollution of our waters

• Identity loss - who we thought we were as our sense of self is in transition

• Loss of our health due to chronic illness and disability

• The love we did not receive, and what was missing

​

Grief may arrive suddenly, changing everything in an instant. Or it may gather quietly over time, accumulating through many losses, disappointments, and unmet needs. Whatever form it takes, grief asks to be acknowledged. It asks for space to be felt, witnessed, and honoured.

​

This work will be gently supported by Hawthorn - a plant that has long held the heart’s journey with grief, and Water – encouraging our waters within to flow.  

​

Sessions have the option of including bodywork to support your process.

I have completed an Apprenticeship in Grief, a grief tending training inspired by the Dagara lineage of Bukina Faso.  Honouring my teacher Sophy Banks and the teacher of the lineage - Sobonfu Somé.

When tears of loss

Move freely,

 

When Water

finds her way,

 

to all those

hidden thirsty places,

 

Then Grief

becomes

the hearty River,

The quench of Love.
