Helping you remember you belong.

To yourself. To one another. To the living world.

Grief Support • Forest Therapy • Retreats • Community

Grief support, grief coaching, and forest therapy guiding in Minneapolis, MN and online.

Life has a way of pulling us away from ourselves. Through grief, change, and transition, we can lose our sense of grounding and belonging. Together we focus on supporting you reconnecting with yourself and restoring a felt sense of belonging to yourself and the living world, after rupture.

My work is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself through one-on-one support, guided experiences in nature, and community spaces.

There are times in life when something shifts and we can no longer find our footing in the same way.

Sometimes it arrives through death or loss.
Sometimes through change, burnout, caregiving, endings, or beginnings we didn’t choose.
And sometimes it’s harder to name than that—just a quiet sense of not feeling like ourselves anymore.

My work is for these moments.

For the times when life no longer feels familiar, and you are trying to find your way back to something steady, true, and alive inside you.

I offer one-on-one grief support, nature-based sessions, and community spaces that invite slowing down, listening inward, and reconnecting with what matters most.

Not to fix what you’re feeling.
Not to rush you through it.
But to create space where you can begin to feel at home in yourself again.

Whether we are sitting together in conversation or walking quietly through the living world, this work is guided by a simple belief:

You are not meant to carry this alone.
And you are not as far from yourself as it may feel.

One-on-One Support

I offer gentle client-centered support as we come together to co-create and develop practices weaved with gratitude and grief.

  • How do we help each other remember we belong here?

  • How do we allow ourselves to create loving rituals, practices, and habits for ourselves, in times of great transition or loss?

  • What do those devotional moments look like for each of us?

  • How do we define what is meaningful, joyful, and connecting in moments of great change?

  • May we allow ourselves to receive the connection, love, support, and joy we long for, even in challenging moments?

  • How might we lean into our slowness, tenderness, and softness, trusting times of significant change are sacred?

I strive to meet your needs right where you’re at, transition, grief, loss, and everything in between. I support your changing relationship with yourself and your becoming.

  • What People Are Saying

    “Becoming unstuck and awake to the possibilities is the headline to my work with Jade. When I reached out to Jade, multiple dimensions of my life were in a state of intense disruption and transition. Having recently lost my dad, needing to support more intently my mom’s journey with Alzheimer’s, shifting my career focus, and being called to live in Costa Rica for reasons that continue to unfold, I needed a safe, open and connected space to reflect and explore. Jade creates judgement-free space that allows me to journey into new and expansive spaces that are bringing clarity, focus and confidence. Jade’s counsel, equanimity, and provocative questions have been instrumental in causing me to see more clearly my path forward and how not to get in the way of what is unfolding. I find myself reflecting daily on the work Jade and I have done. The work plays a big part in my journey to stay grounded and present while aligning myself more fully and boldly to a higher purpose and calling.”

    “With Jade, I gained a deeper understanding of the ways that self-acceptance plays a role in my life and my ability to live in a way that feels genuine and fulfilling.”

  • What People Are Saying

    Jade was an assistant and a guide as I went through boxes of pictures and artwork from my daughter who died suddenly at 17. As I think often happens, I had not anticipated this as a grief project - but as a remembrance project. And of course, it is both. I found her equanimity and presence not only comforting but non-judgmental and kind. Her thoughtful questions helped guide me, as did her interest in my story about the life of my daughter. I am grateful for our time together, as it not only brought the emergence of treasures of remembrance but a well-spring of new beginnings coming from further healing of the loss of a child.

  • What People Are Saying

    "My ongoing journey of locating compassionate goal setting had for a long time felt fraught and overwhelming. Deciding to work with Jade was a decision that did not come easily as I usually try to undermine asking for support. When I allowed myself to step aside and be witnessed just where I am, Jade was there, with an unexplainable steadiness. Working with Jade allowed me to orient to both my present self and my future self with a consistent and gentle sense of clarity. I saw myself accomplish things that I had been mulling over and longing for."

  • What People Are Saying

    After both my parents and my baby granddaughter passed away in three months, I was devastated beyond belief and knew I needed professional help. I was lost for words and thoughts and so hurt I couldn’t function. So I hired Jade. Her gentle and compassionate grief work took me to a new level of self-discovery and brought me the peace and relief I so desperately needed. She took me through guided meditations and breath work that grounded me and let me feel safe enough to open, share, and cry… shared even what I didn’t know I had hidden inside of me. Jade would reflect to me what she heard and connect my trauma dots with aha insights and deep awareness. She was truly a blessing to me at the most difficult time of my entire life. I will be forever grateful to her for her love, deep grief understanding, and expertise. It is truly her passion and mission to help others in grief and pain. Thank you Jade from the bottom of my heart!

  • What People Are Saying

    I was 34, with two young children, when I lost my mom to cancer. I was trying to figure out how to navigate this insurmountable loss when Jade was recommended to me as someone I should reach out to. After two years together, Jade has helped me with my grief journey more than I thought was possible. The thoughtfulness and healing practices she brings into her work are so noticed and appreciated. She continually made me feel heard and validated in what I was going through. She always met me where I was at that moment, and helped me to find grace for myself while I was so angry and sad. Grief can be very isolating. Being able to be completely vulnerable with Jade was so healing. I cried with her, laughed with her, all while she supported me, with kindness and compassion, in a judgment free safe space. She is simply a wonderful person.

  • I lost my son when he took his own life - a parent’s worst nightmare. It was the most devastating experience of my life. The grief was overwhelming, and I was searching for a way to survive something that felt impossible to endure. I was referred to Jade as a grief therapist, and from our first conversations, I knew I had found someone special. What drew me to her was her unique approach to grief, one that embraced not only loss, but also gratitude, love, meaning, and connection. Before working with Jade, I was struggling to understand how I could continue living a meaningful life while carrying such profound sorrow. I wasn’t looking for someone to “fix” my grief. I needed someone who could help me walk alongside it and find a way forward. What surprised me most was how Jade helped me create loving rituals and practices that honored both my son and my own healing. She encouraged me to embrace tenderness, slowness, and self-compassion during a time when I often felt lost. Through our work together, I learned that grief and gratitude can exist side by side. Jade helped me discover moments of connection, joy, purpose, and even peace amid deep heartbreak. She supported me exactly where I was, without judgment, while helping me navigate my changing relationship with myself and my son’s memory. One of the most valuable lessons I learned from Jade was that healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry love forward. Her guidance helped me find meaning in my grief and gave me practical tools and perspectives that continue to support me every day. If you have lost a loved one and are struggling with grief, I wholeheartedly recommend Jade. She has been an extraordinary guide through the darkest chapter of my life. I am deeply grateful for her wisdom, compassion, and unwavering support. Thank you, Jade. My life is richer, more meaningful, and more hopeful because of the work we did together.
