Room for your own grief
Time that belongs only to you, where nothing has to be held back for the children's sake.
Grief coaching for parents
You're grieving, and the kids still need breakfast.
Tides of Healing is one-to-one grief coaching for parents. A gentle space for you to grieve, heal and grow while life at home keeps going.
You might be here because
- You hold it together at school pickup and come apart in the car.
- Your child asks questions you don't know how to answer.
- People keep telling you how strong you are, and you're tired of being strong.
- You've looked after everyone else's grief and haven't touched your own.
- Bedtime is when it all comes up, for them and for you.
If any of this sounds like your week, you're in the right place.
Grief moves like a tide
It comes in, goes out and comes in again. Some days the water is at your ankles. Some days a song in the grocery store puts it over your head.
A high tide after a good week is still just the tide. You haven't lost ground.
One week, drawn like a tide table

Coaching can't hold the water back. It can help you learn its rhythm, so you're ready for the high days and can rest on the low ones.
What we work on together
Every family's loss is different, so every session is too. These are places we can start.
Words for your children
How to talk about the loss honestly at their age, and what to say when the hard questions arrive at bedtime.
The days you're dreading
Birthdays, holidays, the first day back at school. We plan for them together so they don't catch you off guard.
A home life that fits now
Routines, roles and small rituals for the family you are today.

Questions you might have
One-to-one support after a loss. We look at where you are today and what would help you carry it, at home, with your children and for yourself.
A therapist can diagnose and treat conditions such as depression or trauma. A coach doesn't. Coaching is about support, practical tools and next steps in daily life. Plenty of people have both, and if a therapist or doctor is what you need, I'll say so.
Neither. Some parents reach out in the first weeks. Others come years later, when a milestone brings it all back. Grief has no deadline.
No. Come as you are, on whatever kind of day it turns out to be.
We start with a free 15 minute discovery call. After that, a 60 minute session is $95 and a 90 minute session is $135. The 12 week program is $1,050, and you can pay it in 3 payments of $350.
