I play in the space between grief and gratitude.

I may have become a grief worker by accident, but it is my calling.

 

I come from a place of profound personal and professional experience with grief, and have a deep understanding of each of the stages and the dangers inherent in suppressing them. 

After devoting 500+ hours to ushering individual clients through debilitating grief, 

I have developed a simple but surprisingly effective technique.

 

Despite the darkness we may wade through together, I remain lighthearted.

That's because I see that there is so much room in our future for companionship, love, and even joy as we navigate through the turmoil together.

And I can guide you to that grounded place, too.

 

We begin with the most difficult task: 

recognizing that we are already facing forms of collapse

that will dramatically alter the way we live within the next decade. 

 

Despite the solutions we already have.

Despite the efforts and progress already made. 

Despite the positive attitude we apply to our climate work.

 

It is quite a leap to go from ignoring the dissonance we feel inside

to recognizing the reality of our predicament,

moving through our stages of grief,

and settling into a state of calm readiness

while actively crafting resilience.

 

This transformation is not only possible but necessary

in order to move forward with reality-informed intention.

 

You can't go through this type of transformation

without experiencing inner turmoil.

 

But know this:

in just two weeks,

you can reach new levels of clarity, creativity, and commitment

that will enrich and elevate your vision of the future. 

Facing our metacrisis is no easy task.

 

We wrestle with our disbelief, anger, guilt, sadness, and despair about the state of the world.

 

We struggle to accept the truth of what has been causing our inner dissonance for so long. 

 

We recognize that we must fundamentally realign our decisions and actions in the face of this new knowledge.

I am uniquely positioned to guide you through this personal transformation thanks to:

 

🟦 my work helping 120+ individuals move through their grief in order to thrive in new ways

🟦 my own life experience processing grief and loss and making big moves to live differently

🟦 my experience successfully guiding climate innovators (and others) through this process in a series of conversations via text, email, voice messages, and Zoom sessions. 

 

These conversations invite you to re-frame and re-imagine your view of the future.

If you´re ready to keep your eyes and heart wide open  

to both the challenges and the opportunities of this journey

from despair to determination to delight (yes, really),

I would love to work with you.

Not everyone is ready to go deep.

 

I work with those who would rather face reality fully than keep their head in the sand. 

It is an honor to guide people who are willing to 

spend time doing the inner work of amending their world view,

and make a pivot that will allow them to choose adaptation and craft resilience

for themselves, their loved ones, their workplace, their community, and their bioregion.

The first step is always the hardest. 

It´s a matter of recognizing that you are ready to explore what you have long suspected, and start living fully and deliberately with that wisdom.

 

Most clients tell me that their biggest surprise is how relieved they feel after working with me. 

Rather than being weighed down by despair, they feel light and ready to move forward in new ways.

DISCLAIMER:

I am not a licensed psychologist or therapist, nor am I offering traditional counseling or therapy.

My training is in trauma-informed facilitation and creative breakthrough coaching.

My approach addresses both longing and belonging.

It encourages personal evolution and action, including self-care, outreach, and activism. 

You can read about how I developed my process here.

 

The thing about collapse awareness is that the emotions come in waves,

triggered by what we read, discuss, and experience daily.

So, I'm certainly not promising you will never feel sad or angry about the state of the world!

 

But in just a few conversations, you will:

1) recognize what triggers each of these emotions and how they show up for you, 

2) develop a greater ability to ride the waves and positively channel the energy they give you, and 

3) create your own plan for how you want to adapt as you move forward with this new awareness in ways that lead to discovery, gratitude, and resilience.
