Grief Tending Sessions

A sacred space to honor what has been lost
and to remember what still lives within us.


Grief as an Underworld Journey

In every myth of descent - Inanna entering the underworld, Hekate at the crossroads, Persephone walking into the dark - there is surrender. A laying down of everything we thought we knew.

Grief is it’s own descent. It’s own underworld journey. It asks us to move slowly, to loosen our grasp, and to touch in with the rawest parts of ourselves. When loss enters our lives, we cross a threshold. Nothing is the same - and yet the world around us never stops. Our people are often waiting for us to return to “normal”

But there is no normal after grief. There is only descent and return.

Grief is not something to be fixed. It is something to be witnessed, tended to and held with care and compassion.

Grief tending sessions offer a space to honor this sacred descent - this liminal time of undoing and unraveling. To meet our grief, not as something to fix, or push away, but as a companion with inherent wisdom and medicine to share - that is, if we are willing to slow down and stay with it long enough to receive.

What to Expect:

Each session is a co-created ritual space and is unique based on your specific needs and what your grief is asking for. Typically sessions begin by calling in Mother Earth and the elements to create a sacred container larger than ouselves to help us hold this grief and loss and then to transmute it after our session. From there, we may move through

  • Meditative journeying - entering the imaginal landscape where grief has a shape and voice and wisdom to share

  • Rituals of release and remembrance - lighting candles, speaking names, creating offerings

  • Journaling and reflection - giving language and witness to what lives inside

  • Breath and body practices - softening the nervous system and grounding the spirit

  • Energy tending - reiki and intuitive guidance to clear heaviness create more space

This is not therapy. This is sacred companionship. A place where your grief can live and breathe, held in a safe and sacred container, without judgement, shame, fixing.

You are never rushed, never asked to be anywhere other than where you are. Every part of your grief is welcome here.

THE DESCENT INTO THE UNDERWORLD IS NOT A FREE FALL INTO THE VOID -
IT IS A RETURN TO THE TRUTH.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • No. Grief comes in many forms: the death of a loved one, divorce, illness, transitions, estrangement, anticipatory grief, climate grief, ancestral grief, collective grief and many others. If you feel loss, you belong here.

  • Therapy is often about analysis and treatment. Grief tending is about ritual, presence and sacred companionship. It is not clinical. It is a space where your grief is honored as holy.

  • That’s ok. Many people arrive unsure where to being. Together we move gently, calling in practices and rituals that help your grief find expression beyond words.

  • Both are available. In person sessions are held in my studio space in my home, located between the Seattle and Tacoma area of the Pacific Northwest. Online sessions are just as effective and bring ritual and presence into your home and space.

  • Each Grief Tending session is 90 minutes. This allows spaciousness for grounding, ritual, reflection and integration.

  • This is your journey. We can design it however it makes sense for you. You are welcome to come once or create an ongoing journey, it’s completely up to you. If you think you may want to book more that one session, please email me to discuss a package discount.
