Grief Coaching for Women
Reclaiming Your Light After Loss
Because healing doesn’t mean letting go, it means remembering who you are.
When you lose a spouse, the world goes quiet.
Every routine feels foreign, every memory bittersweet. You’ve spent years giving: to love, to family, to partnership, and now you stand in the stillness, wondering who you are beyond what was shared.
Grief Coaching is not about moving on.
It’s about moving through: gently, holistically, and in rhythm with your nervous system, your heart, and your soul.
This sacred work is designed for women who are ready to rediscover themselves through compassion, somatic healing, and embodied presence.
Your Coaching Experience Includes
Private 1:1 grief coaching sessions
Nervous system and breathwork guidance
Somatic and trauma-informed techniques
Personalized grief rituals and reflections
Tools for daily emotional regulation

About Your Grief Coach
Meet Deanna, a woman who has walked through the fire and found her way back to light.
On January 18th, 2020, Deanna’s life changed forever when she lost her husband suddenly to a brain aneurysm. The world she knew vanished in an instant, replaced by silence, disbelief, and the slow unraveling of everything familiar.
In the months that followed, grief became both her teacher and her mirror. Through her own healing journey, Deanna discovered that true recovery is not about “getting over” loss, it’s about learning how to live with it, to hold love and pain in the same breath, and to rediscover the self that remains when everything else falls away.
Driven by a deep desire to help others navigate their own path through loss, Deanna pursued her international accreditation as a Grief Coach and immersed herself in advanced holistic training. Her credentials include:
-
Somatic Therapy and Nervous System Regulation
-
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT / Tapping)
-
Art Therapy and Expressive Healing
-
Sound Healing and Vibrational Therapy
-
Holistic and Trauma-Informed Coaching Certifications
Today, Deanna weaves all of these modalities into a compassionate, deeply personalized approach to grief coaching. Her work honors both the science of trauma recovery and the sacred art of emotional healing.
She doesn’t meet you as a coach looking down from a mountain, she meets you as a woman who has walked the path herself, barefoot and broken, and learned how to rise again.
Through her lived experience and professional expertise, Deanna guides you to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and gently rediscover the woman within who is ready to live again, not instead of love, but because of it.
The G.R.I.E.F Framework
After walking through profound grief, Dorsal Vagal Collapse, and Transient Global Amnesia, Deanna developed a compassionate and embodied approach to healing, one that honors both the science of the nervous system and the soul’s need to be witnessed. This program is specifically designed for women who have lost a spouse and are ready to find their way back to themselves, one breath and one gentle step at a time.
Her signature G.R.I.E.F. Framework™ offers a holistic journey to help you ground, integrate, and rediscover your life after loss.
We begin with Grounding the Nervous System, learning to soothe the body and mind after the storm. Through gentle breathwork and polyvagal-informed practices, you begin to restore a sense of safety and peace, helping your body remember how to exhale again. You are not broken. Your nervous system is recalibrating to a new reality.
Next, we move into Reclaiming Identity. Beyond the role of wife, mother, or partner lives a woman with her own light. Together, we explore who you are now: your values, your voice, your dreams, and give her space to rise. You are still here. And your light deserves to shine again.
From there, we focus on Integrating the Loss, because grief never truly leaves, but it can soften. Through somatic release, gentle rituals, and guided reflection, you’ll learn to transform pain into wisdom and remembrance. Grief isn’t something to get over, it’s something to integrate with grace.
As you reconnect with your body, the true home of your healing, we step into Embodying Healing. Through mindful movement, touch, and breath, you’ll learn to trust your body’s wisdom and rest in your own energy again. Healing is not thinking your way out of pain, it’s feeling your way home.
Finally, we move into Flourishing Forward. When peace returns, so does possibility. This is where we begin creating a new chapter, one that honors your love and your aliveness, helping you flourish with meaning, joy, and self-trust. You are allowed to grow from grief. You are allowed to live again.
