GRIEF & TRAUMA COACHING:
Support for Mothers Living After the Loss of a Child

GRIEF & TRAUMA COACHING:
Helping Moms Who've Lost A Child Find Their Way Forward
Stop pretending you’re okay and take real steps to rebuild your life with strength, clarity, and purpose. Offering coaching group, one on one, and retreats.
LET'S BE HONEST:
You know you're still here for a reason
This space is for mothers who have lost a child.
If you are a grieving mother and the world kept moving after your child died, you are not imagining how disorienting that feels. This kind of loss changes the body, the faith, the nervous system, and the way time works. There is no fixing it. There is learning how to live inside it without being crushed by it.
I am a mother who lives with the death of my 16-year-old son. I walk with other mothers carrying this kind of loss. I do not offer timelines or promises. I offer trauma-aware support for the long road after loss.
You do not have to know what you need.
You cannot carry this alone.
How I Support Mothers After Child Loss
I support mothers whose children have died through private coaching—one-on-one and small group work—and in-person retreats. All support is faith-first, trauma-aware, and paced to honor grief that lives in the body and disrupts a sense of safety.
This work is not about fixing your grief.
It is about creating safety, giving you permission to grieve as you are, and walking with you at a pace your body can trust.
Syrup to the Soul™ is a 12-week coaching container for mothers living after the death of their child, offered through one-on-one and small group support.
This work is faith-first and trauma-aware. I will not rush you, and I will not ask your body to carry more than it can. This is not therapy, and it is not about fixing your grief or moving on. It is steady, grounded support for learning how to live while carrying what cannot be changed. If this feels like something you may want, you are welcome to add your name to the interest list to explore whether we are a fit. There is no commitment and no pressure.
These retreats are not conferences or healing weekends. You will not be asked to share more than you want or participate in anything your body resists. The space is quiet, grounded, and held with care, allowing room for rest, prayer, and connection with other mothers who understand this kind of loss.
Retreats are offered selectively, and details are shared privately with those on the retreat interest list. If you would like to receive information when a retreat opens, you are welcome to add your name. There is no obligation and no pressure.
INTRODUCING
Syrup to the Soul™
Surrender
It’s okay to stop pretending that you’re okay. This pillar is about letting go of the pressure to have it all together. Acknowledge where you really are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and give yourself permission to stop holding it all in.
Refine
We’ll focus on healing your body, calming your mind, and reconnecting with who you are now—steady, strong, and ready to move forward. Honoring your past and defining your new future, based on your truth. No one else’s expectations—just you finding strength in the pain and rising with clarity.
Rebuild
This is where you start creating the routines, relationships, and daily habits that will support the life you want to live. You may not know exactly what that looks like yet, but you are capable of it. Rebuilding means honoring what’s been lost, while opening up space for joy, purpose, and legacy to rise again.
No-Cost Call
Schedule a no-cost call, and let’s talk through your needs.
Together, we’ll explore what direction feels right and how I can walk alongside you.

FREE Community
A place for moms who have experienced the loss of a child to find support, understanding, and connection.
Tangled Grief
This space is for mothers who have lost a child. You don’t have to pretend or explain the depth of your pain here.
I didn’t know what I needed when my child died. I didn’t have words for the way grief took over my body or how hard it was just to get through the day. What I needed most was honesty and people who didn’t try to rush me with phrases meant to make it easier.
I’m here because it breaks my heart to see mothers suffer alone. If you’re tired of holding this by yourself, you’re welcome here.
You’re not committing to anything. You’re simply saying, I don’t want to do this alone anymore. When you’re ready, we can walk together.
COMING SOON FOR 2025
