Grief can be found wherever love is, because everything we love we will lose. This is a basic condition of existence, yet most of us go through our lives in denial of this truth because we have been denied the tools and support to face it. We honor that which we love by feeling the pain of what we have lost, are losing, or will lose. When we lack the support to feel this grief and instead suppress it (which will not make it go away, as much as we may hope), we inevitably also suppress our capacity to love and our bodies inherent ability to renew itself. These grief accompaniment sessions seek to create the conditions for feelings to arise that you may not have had the space or support to let arise before.

​​

All forms of grief are welcome - for the loss of who or what we love, for the sorrows of the world, the things we deserve but did not receive, the harm we've caused, the inherited grief of our ancestors or beloveds, and more. You need not even know what grief you are carrying to sign-up.

​​

The basis of these sessions is me supporting you in the ongoing process of embodied inquiry - listening to your body and trusting what it is telling you. Song, vocal expression, movement, somatic exercises, gentle touch, connection with your spiritual beliefs, and more can be brought in to support you. Your agency and choice is of utmost importance.

​​​​

You are invited to bring your whole self to these sessions - your hesitancies and curiosities, your numbness and rage, your spiritual beliefs or lack of, your silence and your loudness. All of you is welcome.

​

Sessions last 90 - 120 minutes and you are encouraged to plan for some spacious and restful time afterwards to help integrate. Sessions are done out of my home in Jamaica Plain.
