🌙About Me

Laurel (they/she)
Grief-Informed Life Coach | Somatic Guide | Intuitive Support for Life Transitions

I’m a grief-informed life coach and practitioner devoted to helping individuals move through personal transitions with clarity, compassion, and deep presence. My work blends trauma-aware coaching, somatic practices, and intuitive guidance to support people facing grief, identity shifts, burnout, or life reorientation.

My path to this work was shaped by personal loss and over a decade of frontline service in harm reduction, mental health, youth development, and public housing. These experiences ground my belief that healing is not linear — and that both grief and growth deserve space, support, and time.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to creating spaces where people feel fully seen, safely held, and empowered to reconnect with their body’s wisdom and their own inner knowing.

Clients come to me when they’re navigating:

  • Life after loss or caregiving
  • Burnout or career transitions
  • Identity or relationship changes
  • A desire for more purpose, clarity, or alignment

Whether you’re grieving, growing, or simply in a season of change, I walk alongside you with care that is both practical and intuitive.

Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as:

A behavioral interventionist for children with complex needs
A youth program director for unhoused and system-impacted youth
A regional manager for syringe service programs funded by federal grants
A grief witness in my own family through the deaths of three grandparents
And an anchor for loved ones through abortion, transition, estrangement, divorce, and death

Now, my work brings together:

Grief Coaching

that respects your timeline and tenderness

Death Care

that is sacred and supportive

Ritual Building

that listens to the deeper voice within

Somatic Grounding

to help the body feel safe again

I believe in care that is honest, ritual-informed, body-aware and open.
You don’t have to go through it alone. And you don’t have to go through it fast.

This is a space where grief is held, not hurried.
Where becoming is welcomed
,
even when it begins in the midst of grief
