Grief support services
Introduction Call
Let’s see if we are a good fit before any commitment to a full session. In order to properly serve you in your grief, there has to be genuine connection. Sometimes the fit is instant, other times there is difficulty communicating both ways or the energy just doesn’t feel right. This means either side can decide this is or isn’t right for me without having to explain why. The most important step in asking someone to help you in grief is seeing if you feel safe, and open in their presence. Test the waters, and let me know your expectations for working together.

Single One to One Session
A private one on one session via Zoom, no commitment and no pressure. Ideal if you are not sure where you are headed or if Grief Support is something you want to invest in. Ideal for those who would like to discuss their loss, their loved one, or their plan to best manage grief going forward. This can be a time to reflect, vent, or release the pressure of keeping it all together. Without judgment, or tactical approach. You are safe to just be where you are in your grief.
40 min - $150
Grief Support Intensive Session
After an initial one on one you may wish to collaborate on a longer term plan to navigate your grief together. Some people feel that 40 minutes is not long enough for what they wish to express. A longer, more in depth session may be desired for many reasons. We are going to get comfortable in discomfort together. It is a practice, that takes time and effort but allows you to form a relationship to your grief that you can live with. One that respects and honors your loss without allowing it to consume your life. This requires an openness and desire for expansion- not an arbitrary goal of ‘moving on’ or moving past your grief. We are going to get curious about it, protect it, let it speak – and let life return while we carry it with us. We are also going to set up an ongoing plan for what you CAN do, for what is still in your control, so that you can regain your footing and feel like life seems manageable again.
60 min - $200 or 90 min - $300
Community Care - Host a Grief Event
My ultimate goal in grief work is to create community. Community makes grief so much more bearable, but we have to work to reduce the stigma that still exists around death, loss, and grief.
In Western culture we are increasingly isolated, and ostracized for expressing grief freely, and fully. We are expected to move through an arbitrary timeline, and bounce back into life as we were before the loss. We don’t respect that grief, loss and the pain that accompanies it is part of our human nature. When we are in pain, or have a loss- we naturally look to our tribe, our community for support. Helping you express your grief fully – in a society that wants to keep it neatly hidden behind closed doors is how we make others feel safe to express theirs. Its an act of care, not just for you- but for those around you – to be in grief without shame and without feeling like a burden to those around you. If you own a community space, or are a business owner, and wish to host a free community event in the Kelowna BC area please get in touch. I am always willing to donate time, host and lead community grief support groups, educational talks and events that offer a safe space to those in grief.
