I work with mothers who have lost a child and are trying to figure out how to keep living when everything inside them feels shattered. I am not here to fix you, because I do not believe you are broken.

This space is for mothers who are still breathing, still loving, and still carrying a pain that does not resolve. You do not have to explain yourself here. You do not have to pretend you are okay. You are allowed to move slowly and grieve in the way your body needs.

I am not here to lead you out of grief. I am here to walk beside you while you learn how to live inside it.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay here.

You just have to show up as you are.

More On My Background:

  •   Grief & Trauma Coach

  •  Founder of Better Way Coaching

  • Certified Trauma Coach – Biology of Trauma™ Professional

  • Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach

  • Certified Grief Coach

My work is grounded in trauma science, nervous system care, and faith, shaped by years of study and lived experience. I bring that training quietly into every session, without asking you to understand the frameworks or do the work “right.”

Whether we meet through coaching, a retreat, or time spent simply letting your body rest and breathe again, the invitation is the same: come as you are. You don’t need answers. You don’t need strength. You don’t need to know the next step. We will listen to what your body can hold and move from there.

My Story:

I am a mother who has lost a child.

After my child died, I searched for support that could help me understand what was happening in my body and my faith. I needed care that did not rush me, analyze me, or try to make meaning before I could breathe. I needed someone who understood that this kind of grief lives in the nervous system, not just the mind.

What I found was very little. So I built what I wish had existed.

My work is faith-first and trauma-aware. I pay attention to how grief shows up in the body, how it alters belief, and how it disrupts a sense of safety in the world. I work with mothers whose children have died through private coaching, small group support, and in-person retreats, offering steady companionship as they learn how to live with what cannot be changed.

When you are ready, I’ll be here.

Julie, xoxo
