Compassionate Care for Grief, Bereavement and Life Transitions

Support for the Places
Grief Touches Most Deeply

Grief can affect far more than how you feel. It can affect your sleep, sense of safety, identity, relationships, concentration and even how you experience yourself in the world.

My work offers compassionate support for the many ways loss can show up—emotionally, physically and in the life that follows.

Identity After Loss: Who Am I Now?

When someone you love dies, a part of your identity changes, too. Roles shift. Daily rhythms dissolve. The person who once reflected your place in the world is no longer here—and your inner landscape can feel unfamiliar.

You may notice moments of disorientation… Not knowing who you are without them. Not recognizing the version of yourself that’s emerging. Not feeling like the “old you,” and unsure if you ever will again.

This isn’t a sign that something is wrong. It's a natural, human response to deep loss.

Through gentle, supportive conversations—and hypnosis-inspired practices designed to soften fear and strengthen inner steadiness—we explore the pieces of your identity that feel shaken, missing, or ready to grow.

When the Worst Day Won’t Stop Replaying

Do you find yourself reliving the day your spouse or partner died—over and over—like it’s happening all over again?

The phone call.
The accident.
The hospital.
The moment everything changed.

These kinds of intense memory “loops” are common after traumatic loss. As grief expert David Kessler teaches, the mind often returns to the hardest moments because some part of us is still trying to make sense of what happened. Your nervous system was overwhelmed that day, and those pathways can keep firing long after the event is over.

There is nothing “wrong” with you. Your brain is doing exactly what it learned to do under shock and terror.

How Gentle Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy offers a calm, non-invasive way to:

Gently soothe the nervous system

Shift old neural pathways so the memory doesn’t hijack your whole day

Reduce the emotional intensity of the replay, without erasing your love or your story

Help your mind feel safer in the present, instead of stuck in the past

In our work together, we move at your pace. You stay in control. The goal is not to “get over it,” but to help your body and mind no longer feel like they’re still living inside the worst day.

If you’re tired of these scenes playing on repeat and would like compassionate, trauma-informed support, I invite you to explore whether gentle hypnotherapy might be right for you.

Anxiety: Find Calm Within the Waves

Anxiety needs understanding—not control.

Here, your experience is met with calm, compassion, and respect—not pressure to “get over it” or think differently.

Through gentle hypnosis, we invite your nervous system to soften—helping you release tension, quiet racing thoughts, and rediscover a sense of steadiness within.

Together, we create a peaceful space where you can breathe more freely, feel supported, and begin to trust your inner calm again.

Sleep: A Gentle Path to Rest When Sleep Feels Out of Reach

When sleep feels distant—when your mind won’t quiet and your body can’t fully relax—it’s easy to feel alone in the dark hours. You may wonder if deep rest is still possible, or if your system even remembers how.

You’re not alone in feeling exhausted, restless, or unsure of how to find your way back to ease.

This isn’t about forcing sleep or silencing your thoughts.

It’s about guiding your mind and body into a state of softness—where tension loosens, breathing slows, and rest begins to feel safe again.

Through gentle hypnosis, we create a calming space for your nervous system to unwind, so you can drift toward sleep naturally—one breath, one moment, one peaceful night at a time.

Grief Reset Circle: A Gentle Meditation Series for Widows & Widowers

Spousal loss affects more than the heart. It impacts the nervous system, sleep, identity, focus, and one’s sense of safety in the world.

The Grief Reset Circle offers a calm, supportive space to rest, breathe, and gently settle the body — without pressure to share, explain, or “move on.” This series is designed to support you where grief actually lives.

What This Series Offers: 5 Session Series, Online

Session 1 — Stabilizing After the Loss

Session 2 — Living With the Absence

Session 3 — Who Am I Now?

Session 4 — Carrying Love Without the Pain Taking Over

Session 5 — Living Forward While Honouring What Was

This is not therapy and not about fixing grief. It is about supporting your body and heart as you carry it. This meditation series is supportive and educational in nature and does not replace medical, psychological, or crisis care.

Grief Dreams: A Gentle, Supportive Exploration

Dreams can stir powerful emotions after loss—whether a loved one appears, or doesn’t—and often leave people wondering what the heart is processing beneath the surface.

This offering provides a calm, compassionate space to explore night-time experiences without interpretation or analysis.

Through gentle guidance, hypnosis-inspired relaxation, and simple dream-journaling, participants are invited to reflect on grief dreams in ways that support meaning-making, emotional regulation, and rest.

Grief Support Informed by Both Training and Lived Experience

Feel free to connect with me via my online calendar. Schedule a free 20-minute chat to get started.

My first experience with death and grief came in childhood when I lost a parent. Over the years, I have also lived through the deaths of my grandparents, my husband, and my stepfather.

With more than 30 years of experience, I have dedicated most of my career to supporting individuals as a life coach. Over time, my private practice expanded to include hypnosis and hypnotherapy for life challenges, behaviour and habit change, caregiver coaching, end-of-life support, and grief and bereavement coaching.

In addition to one-on-one work, I provide education and facilitate workshops and discussions that increase death literacy and raise awareness about dying, death, and the services available to support both individuals and families. My book Bold Spirit Caring for the Dying, co-authored with 10 carefully chosen end-of-life practitioners, offers insights into end-of-life transition. It brings together the voices of compassionate, skilled, and inspiring professionals in hospice, palliative care, thanatology, paramedic services, personal support work, education, and death doula care.

My volunteer work includes having been a community member on the board of a local long-term care residence with a day program focused on dementia and Alzheimer's.
