The way we tend to our mothering, caregiving and grief-full bodies ripples out; impacts generations.

The sacred bodies who identify as woman, mother, caregiver and/or griever are the same bodies who often find themselves searching for spiritual wellness without the language, witness(es) nor practices necessary to embody the wholeness from which they came.

I know this because I’ve lived it.

As a spiritual companion and memoirist, I specialize in caregiving and compassion at the intersection grief, trauma and loss (amongst other complicated things). Offering 1:1 and group containers for soul midwifery, I get to both welcome your wild and bend with you toward the light. From the highly religious to the secularly reverent, it is my greatest honor to come alongside you as you navigate this one precious life.

  • There is no one experience of pain and hardship that gets to be the hardest.

  • May the earth shake as we come to our feet; blessed bodies re/claiming peace in all that is wild.

  • The way you live out your story matters.

  • Because you exist, the world can be a better, safer and more loving place.

  • If you are undoing years of overdoing, may you know this work is absolutely and totally sacred.

  • If you want to change a life, start with loving your own.

I came to this work having occupied complex and complicated spaces since childhood. My first-hand experiences of questioning and doubt, abuse, scandal, unsupressable grief, and substantial loss offered me a challenging path. Because of this, I have spent the entirety of my personal and professional life dedicated and immersed in healing with and for. With my partner, soul-friends, spiritual community, colleagues, and clients; and for my children, their children and my own soul.

Today, I support you so that you can be love now and leave a legacy of love someday, too. As my chosen spiritual guide Mother Teresa has said (may God bless her soul), “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” May we create many, many ripples.

With love & gratitude,

J.
