Hello, dear one.

Jade Fearn

Grief Guide and Compassionate Coach

I support individuals navigating grief, loss, and life transitions by creating spaces for healing, reflection, and empowerment. Through guided sessions, I help clients honor their emotions, trust their inner wisdom, and embrace the full spectrum of the human experience.

My Journey

I grew up outside of Detroit, Michigan, where my lived experiences of disruptive transitions, loss, and profound grief shaped my deep curiosity about how we can hold gratitude, joy, curiosity, and awe alongside grief.

Fifteen years ago, my desire to reframe generational stories into constructive narratives led me to meditation within the Buddhist tradition. Since then, I have immersed myself in:

  • Grief support practices

  • Evidence-based coaching methods for youth and adults

  • Gabor Maté’s compassionate therapeutic process

  • Sarah Peyton’s resonance, warmth, and non-violent communication practices

This learning became vital when, within two years, I lost both my mother and younger brother to suicide. In the years since, I have developed a profound relationship with grief, transition, and healing—one that has deepened my compassion for myself, my family, and all people on their unique paths.

My Approach

Through one-on-one and group sessions, I offer support tailored to each person’s needs. Together, we co-create a space that allows permission to grieve while also making room for self-compassion, forgiveness, and joy.

I have witnessed people who carry anger, regret, guilt, or shame begin to touch moments of gratitude, acceptance, and love—a transformation that continues to inspire my work.

An Invitation

My intention is to gently guide individuals toward a deeper appreciation of their own journey, helping them access the innate capacity for love, freedom, spaciousness, and healing that already exists within them.

If you are navigating loss and seeking a space for reflection, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
