Transformative
Mental, emotional, and spiritual growth are hallmarks of the Grief Wellness Center while sharing community with others who also carry the weight of loss.
Unique, experiential, and insightful, participants discover their own, personal pathway through grief and healing.

Grief Companion Sessions
A grief companion walks alongside you while you patiently do the work grief requires.
Deep listening, authentic care, creating a safe space, and honoring one’s soul are the pillars of grief companionship.
Healing through grief takes time, effort, and the support of others. Sharing your journey with an experienced grief companion serves those needs. Our sessions provide you a safe space to give voice to your feelings, share your stories, and feel heard, seen, and authentically supported while you grow to feel whole again.
We understand grief and we know grief. A grief companion helps you identify personal opportunities and roadblocks to advance through healing in ways that are healthy and meaningful to you.
Grief Companion sessions are offered in-person or online and can be integrated with other bereavement services through The Grief Wellness Center.
“I was given the safe space to be transparent and authentic. I felt heard without anyone trying to fix me. What a gift!”

Whole-Body Bereavement Services
Our bodies absorb tremendous burdens on our journey through grief.
Heal with your body through body-centered grief therapy while finding balance, fulfillment, and inner peace.
Therapeutic Body Massage
When performed correctly, massage is a powerful intervention providing relief from bodily stress, anxiety, loneliness, and isolation often felt while grieving a loss. Gentle massage, a listening presence, and deep relaxation in our calming wellness center environment provide much-needed relief and strength for your body.
Bodywork in the Spirit of Hakomi
Deepen your healing experience with bodywork in the spirit of hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic therapy. This relaxed, gentle, body therapy incorporates a warm therapeutic presence with professional guidance to help you meet what is arising inside you and hindering your growth.
“I was looking for a way to release some of the grief that was weighing so heavily on me. I had no idea that the work would be so much deeper. I now feel my light shine like never before!”
