Heavy Stuff Coaching

Life is amazing. AND shit happens. Hard and scary and heavy shit.

Like chronic or terminal illness.

Like the scary unknowingness between diagnosis and treatment plan, between treatment and the all-clear.

Unexpected endings and loss — of jobs, relationships, dreams for ourselves.

Death. Violence. War. Ecological disaster. Systemic oppression.

Our lives can be shaken and taken off course when something unexpected and unwelcome happens. When our plans get sidelined. When what we thought was stable and sure and secure becomes fragile and uncertain and broken.

These moments call for slowing down, gentleness and truthful examination of what matters most, given these new circumstances and realities. Most often, we need support to find ways to align our choices with our most essential elements of life in order to move ahead, again…changed, expanded, whole.

Here’s how I can help:

GRIEF & LOSS COACHING

Compassionate support to be with pain, sadness, anger and any other emotions that come with a loss or death, along with practical tools to integrate and move forward

MORTAL MOTIVATION

A 4-part program to be in intentional relationship with your mortality, and use it to motivate meaningful living

POSITIVELY CHRONIC

A 6-week mental and emotional fitness program for people managing chronic or life-limiting illness, and companion resources including a journal, book and card deck

DYING TO LIVE WORKSHOPS

A series of short workshops to ease into conversations about dying, death and mortality and making the most of life
