When your world changed forever, grief erupted inside you like an earthquake. Losing someone or something dear to you is so fiercely humbling that it brings you to your knees. The pain is more intense than you ever imagined. Ravaged by the beast of grief, you’re now unmoored from the person you used to be. It’s like you’ve been tossed overboard from your previous life. You’re now swimming in an ocean of fear, sadness, and confusion – paralyzed… because you have no idea who you are or what to do. Your body is tired, and you’re barely keeping your head above the water. You can‘t flounder here forever. You need a life raft and a plan.
Grief isn’t a problem to be solved; it’s an opportunity for exploration and transformation. Our work will build awareness and new capacities to help you integrate your grief into the greater landscape of your life. My approach appreciates the impact of loss on your body, mind, and spirit, so it’s strongly informed by mindfulness and somatic wisdom.
As your guide and companion, we’ll leverage your innate qualities needed for the journey: courage, patience, presence, and curiosity. As you develop these inner resources, you will discover a new kind of resilience – an empowered way of being with your grief that honors the gift of its sacred teaching. Call me today for a free 20-minute consultation.
