Together, we explore the vast relationships to death in many traditions and allow that to inform what resonates with you. Ritualizing your grief by drawing on already existing ones as well as the ones you create is part of your weekly invitation. 

By engaging in conversations, rituals, meditation, and somatic movement, you can shape a belief system that makes sense to YOU, acting as a North Star through this dark night of the soul.  

If you are in the preparation phase...

In addition to being guided through spiritual-somatic practices, you will create rituals that prepare you for the inevitable moment of your loved one taking their last breath. This is the essence of learning how to cultivate a “calm heart,” not just for yourself but for everyone around you as well as your transitioning loved one.

Yes, there are deeply spiritual and practical ways to prepare, and I'd love to show you how.

And whether you will be joining Calm Heart before or after their transition, you will be held in nourishing love and tenderness by all of us. I will help you find the bridge between the spirit world and this world as you slowly release your loved one and transform your grief into meaning, purpose, and creative expression.

Through this tremendously difficult circumstance, you will connect to the meaning of life and embody someone that honors your transitioned loved one.

Each week on our calls, I will provide guided visualization practices and gentle somatic movement to lower your stress and help you process this transitional time. We never heal grief itself, but we heal from the shock and paralysis of the loss by creatively expressing our heartbreak as we build a new reality to feel joy again.

Grieving is a creative process, and we explore the depths of that together so you can learn how to channel and repurpose your grief into LOVE.  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

✧ Why do you approach grieving through the body?

Our body has evolved to keep us safe by creating a stress response when we hurt. We can FEEL this sensation in the body through aches, sharp pains, or even numbness. When we are grieving, our cortisol (stress hormone) is very high and is consistently released over time as we grieve. This leads to other health complications when left unaddressed, not to mention it's uncomfortable to hurt! By giving that "stuck" emotional energy a place to go through movement, we are helping the body feel safe, which will lower stress and aches. Grief and loss don't make sense in the mind, so we support the non-verbal body to express itself as we process our heartbreak.

✧ Do I need previous dance experience to attend your classes?

Not at all! This is about movement, not dancing. The movement I use is repetitive, intuitive, and not choreographed, as well as gentle or fierce, depending on what the moment calls for. It is always intended to help you feel good as you build trust and safety within yourself.
