HEART-TO-HEART GRIEF SUPPORT
HEART-TO-HEART GRIEF SUPPORT
grief care that meets you where you are
Grief has a way of changing everything--our sense of self,
our relationships, even how we move through the world.
It's not something to "fix." Grief wants to be witnessed, expressed
without judgement, and integrated as we move forward.
you don't have to suffer in silence
Hi, I'm Nina
Grief Guide • Podcast Host • Creator of Grief and Light
In these 1:1 support calls, I’ll walk alongside you — with compassion, curiosity, and presence — as you make sense of life after loss. These sessions are designed to support your well-being holistically (mind-body-emotions-spirit) through your unique grief journey.
​
There are no stages here. No platitudes. No pressure to be anywhere other than where you are.
​
You'll be supported by someone who truly understands the depths of grief—a compassionate guide who has walked this path and knows its complexities firsthand. As a certified grief care professional with extensive training from leading experts in grief and healing, I bring a wealth of knowledge to support individuals navigating a wide range of losses.
​
My approach is deeply personal and entirely tailored to your unique needs, meeting you where you are in your grief. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen and supported, allowing you to process at your own pace. Whether you seek tools to regain a sense of balance, practices to help you honor your loved one, or guidance to navigate difficult emotions, I’m here to help you find your way forward with renewed agency and empowerment.
​
You’ve spent so much energy holding everything together — maybe now it’s time to let someone hold space for you.
As grievers, reclaiming our sense of agency, understanding how the landscape of our lives has shifted, learning what we need to be supported, and knowing how to communicate those needs are key to navigating life after loss.​
​
These calls are a space to breathe, to be held, and to feel without needing to explain everything.

​Together, we create a supportive and sacred space for you to:
-
Be heard and witnessed in your story
-
Navigate the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of grief
-
Develop tools and rituals that resonate with you
-
Feel grounded and resourced in your daily life
-
Gently leaning into grief to shift from survival mode to harmonious living
-
Becoming grief-informed, releasing the "shoulds," and building trust to move forward on your terms
-
Learn to live in the both/and of life
​​
We’ll begin by exploring your current needs and building a sense of trust and safety. As we continue, sessions evolve to meet what’s emerging — grief isn’t linear, and neither is this work.
​
Each call is confidential, client-centered, and guided by what’s most present for you.​

Where Grief meets
My 1:1 grief tending sessions are tailored to provide you with personalized support, meeting you exactly where you are. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, curiosity, focused attention, and embodied presence.
Grief is a unique and deeply personal experience, and our work together will honor that, allowing you the time and space to feel safe and empowered, as you navigate your path forward on your terms.
This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating a supportive, ongoing relationship to guide you through your grief, addressing your unique needs and challenges as they arise.
You’ll have the opportunity to share your story in a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental space. Together, we’ll explore your emotions and incorporate practices that resonate with you, whether through mindfulness, reflective exercises, or simply creating space for your feelings.
Each session is tailored to your pace and needs, giving you full control over what we explore and how we proceed.​
"Grief is not this or that; it's this and that."

Who is this for?
​
You’ve experienced a deep loss, and life feels different now. You don’t need fixing—you need space.
You want support that meets you where you are, that makes room for the mess, the mystery, and the meaning. This is for you if you're ready to tend to your grief—softly, meaningfully, and with someone walking beside you. If you're on a journey through grief, this is for you.
​
Whether you are based in the United States, as I am, or reside outside of the US, we will work out a schedule that is comfortable for both. Please note I only work with adults above 18 years of age at this time.
A personal note
As a bereaved sister turned certified grief support specialist and podcaster, I understand how confusing and scary, quite frankly, it can be to take action or decide on the best next step.
Since my brother's passing in 2019 at the age of 32, I've spend thousands of dollars in learning what grief is and how to navigate it.
So much of loss is adapting to changes we never wanted. Pretty permanent ones with profound ripple effects.
My invitation to you as someone who deeply understands is to be intentional about the change you can control.
The best investment with highest returns is an investment in ourselves. I'm here to take that next step with you.
We're in this together,​
Nina, Yosef's Sister
I look
forward
to navigating
this journey
with you
