Moving into Fall: A time to go inward and find Grace in Grief

​

Grief can be a sacred messenger.

If you or someone you love experiences grief more so this time of year, you are not alone.

Most folks have these feelings intensify as days grow darker and cooler.

How can we deal?

This year, I will be offering individual sessions to work with these feelings through mindfulness, movement, art, ritual, and meditation.

With over 30 years of experience working with grief and loss, I can support you through these times.

​

Limited spaces available.

If you are interested, please call me at (707) 953-1452.
