Hello.
I’m an award-winning poet & author who has a thing for birds. I'm about exploring the natural world and the the richness, the hidden surprises, within ordinary moments.
As a mentor, coach & trusted advisor, my thing is helping people transcend grief by:
-
Stepping into their future with a sense of purpose & possibility,
-
Finding new ways to take their loved one with them as they live forward,
-
Growing their capacity for joy, peace, confidence, creativity, caring relationships, resilience, and real well-being every day.
-
Answering that tiny voice within asking, “Isn’t there more for me?”
Yes, there is more for you.
A Pathway Back to You
Pathway
Do you know your best pathway through grief to well-being?
In working with people ready to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of loss or traumatic events—and in my own journeys through grief—I've discovered there are Four Pathways we all navigate to find our way back to well-being.
That said, there's often one pathway where you can get stuck.
The good news? Focusing the right way on that pathway is how you get back into a life that feels good and makes sense again.
I explain more in the 16-minute video above.
After watching, you have two options:
Discover your best pathway back to You by taking a short self-quiz.
Schedule a complimentary Embracing Life After Loss Consultation.

What might help you most?
If the grief of loss or lingering trauma brought you here, my heart goes out to you.
If you feel very lost right now, well, that's normal.
Just know you can get un-lost and find your way back to your one-and-only, heartbroken-and-still-beautiful life.

I write about living with loss AND with joy every day—and the healing power of our senses to connect us to the world around us and within us.
It's about being open to the magic of small moments. In the tiny spaces of our days—all those minutes we rush through—beauty and peace wait for us.
Joy not only co-exists with grief, joy is a way through grief.

What I've learned about love & loss
“To be a witness to another's life is to be a sacred space. Yes, you and I are sacred spaces, holding the ones we love. With each inhalation and exhalation, we keep their stories alive within our own.”
— from Grieving Us: A Field Guide for Living With Loss Without Losing Yourself
You really can step into your future by holding on to the one you love in new ways.
