Grief Counseling

There is no time limit on grief, but there is a time limit on your health.

After suffering a loss, maybe you’ve:

  • Felt stuck in sadness and/or anger

  • Lost encouragement to be active

  • Felt less joy and are afraid you’ll never feel it again

  • Succumbed to negative thoughts

  • Felt like you’re not heard in the way you want to be

  • Began eating your emotions

  • Filled the void with sugars 

  • Had low self-esteem

  • Had unexplained weight gain and physical pain

  • Had gut issues like indigestion, constipation, or diarrhea

Here’s the thing - I’ve been doing this work for over five years professionally and over 20 years personally - and I’ve learned a hell of a lot about resistance. The definition of resistance is the refusal to accept or comply with something or the attempt to prevent something by action or argument. 

So many of us talk ourselves out of doing something - like healing our gut or going to therapy - by action or argument. Through actions, we self-sabotage. Perhaps we eat something we know will cause pain or discomfort, or we intentionally don’t reach out to a therapist, which we know - deep down - will help us. Through argument, we might tell ourselves that it’s not worth it to change our entire lifestyle so we can feel better. “Others have it worse off, I shouldn’t be complaining about this” or “This is normal for me and I’ve been dealing with it for so long, why should I change now” are common phrases I’ve heard over the years. 

A lot of this resistance has to do with unprocessed grief. WHAT, you ask? 

So many of us hold onto all the (bad/hard) things that have happened in our lives, and carry them with us every day. The can manifest as anxiety, body pain, depression, gut issues, hormone imbalances, and/or autoimmune diseases. A lot of those may be trauma-related, and that can lead to unprocessed grief around these events. 

The truth is, your thoughts can tell you you’re ready to “heal your gut” but if your body is telling you “hell no” in the slightest bit (through body pain, anxiety, gut issues, etc.), it means you aren’t ready to make any big shifts in your lifestyle (and that includes changing your diet).  

In order to truly be able to heal your gut, you have to deal with the grief and trauma first. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to properly heal.

Create a life after loss that empowers you to wake up each morning feeling inspired to live it.

As a grief specialist and holistic nutritionist, I take you from your present emotional state and give you practical tools to:

  • Anchor yourself to what feels safe and connecting so you feel centered

  • Identify restful and restless environments so you can choose how to interact with friends and family after loss

  • Find glimmers in your daily activities to help you stay grounded and connected

  • Create resilience routines that engage your brain and body so you can return to that place of safety and connection

  • Take control of your health through holistic nutrition principles

  • Change your mindset through mindfulness techniques

  • Heal your emotional wounds by learning to listen to your gut and trusting your intuition 

How it Works

I use my background in holistic nutrition to help align your gut-brain axis so your gut and your brain can speak freely to one another without any barriers. I also use my expertise as a grief recovery specialist to uncover any grief that may be holding you back from stepping into your power. Through a bespoke nutrition plan, accompanied by mindset, mindfulness, and lifestyle changes, we’ll work together to keep those negative thoughts at bay so you can thrive as your most powerful self. 

Many of my clients have overcome the following:

  • Digestive issues like IBS, IBD, SIBO, bloating, acid reflux/GERD, Candida, nausea

  • Autoimmune disorders and inflammation

  • Food sensitivities and allergies

  • Anxiety, depression, ADD, and other mood/behavioral issues

  • Fatigue/exhaustion and lack of mental clarity/brain fog

  • Reproductive health issues like PCOS, endometriosis, hormonal imbalance, and heavy periods

And I can help you do the same.
