Pet Loss Coaching

Find the support you need on your journey through grief

‣ Feeling overwhelmed with feelings of loss, sadness, guilt, anger, fear, etc

‣ Experiencing deterioration in physical health including sleep quality, appetite, energy levels, immune function

‣ Struggling with brain fog, lack of concentration, forgetfulness

‣ Wanting to withdraw from social interaction and activities you enjoy

68 million American households include companion animals
85% of those experiencing pet loss report at least one symptom of grief following the loss
75% of bereaved pet parents report mourning privately (likely due to the disenfranchised nature of pet loss)
Participation in pet loss support can help validate feelings, provide social support, teach coping strategies and normalize grief

My Approach

Individual sessions are available in person (in Sonoma County, CA) or virtually via Zoom
We’ll begin with a complimentary 15-min consultation to ensure that working together will be a good fit for both of us
Once we decide to work together, we can meet at a cadence that works with your schedule. Package pricing is available for multiple sessions
A typical session will include plenty of time for sharing and reflection, and may also include:
- Introduction of self-care strategies for addressing the physical, mental and emotional impact of grieving
- Supportive collaboration on how to manage the logistics of life while grieving
- Grief education
- Journaling exercises to encourage processing and reflection
- Creating an action plan and gentle “homework” to help you stay grounded and resourced
Upon request, sessions can also integrate other modalities including restorative yoga, breathwork and mindfulness techniques (massage and craniosacral therapy available during in-person sessions)
