Grief-Defined Meditation Classes

Understanding Grief Together

I understand the excruciating heartache of losing the people we love most. I have felt the darkness, loneliness, and deep depression from grief due to loss. Grief is not just limited to death it also includes the loss of friendships, pets, jobs, irreplaceable personal items, and much more. With my personal experience and certifications in Trauma, Compassion, and Mindfulness, I can help guide you on your journey to healing.

I’ve chosen to offer these meditations exclusively in person due to the intimate nature of grief work. Person-to-person connections are critical to our well-being and help reduce depression, anxiety, and isolation. I want to be physically present for you, providing comfort in your time of need.

My Approach

  • Personalized sessions for individuals or small groups (up to eight people, larger groups by special request)
  • Getting to know you and learning about your loved ones or specific losses (please bring a photo or two if comfortable)
  • Guiding meditation with love, compassion, and the utmost respect

Mental Benefits of Meditation for Grief

Meditation offers powerful support when navigating grief:

  • Emotional regulation: Creates space between feelings and reactions, allowing you to experience grief without becoming overwhelmed
  • Present-moment awareness: Anchors you to the present when grief pulls you into painful memories or future fears
  • Acceptance cultivation: Fosters acceptance of difficult emotions, essential for healthy grief processing
  • Reduced rumination: Interrupts cycles of repetitive negative thinking that often accompany grief
  • Stress reduction: Lowers cortisol levels and activates the parasympathetic nervous system
  • Improved sleep quality: Helps quiet the mind before bedtime, addressing grief-related insomnia
  • Compassion development: Builds self-compassion, creating gentleness toward your suffering
  • Mental clarity: Helps restore focus and clarity when grief creates "brain fog"

I send you with loving kindness on your healing journey.
