Meet Me
I’m Sadie, a grief coach, grief educator and former detective offering in person and online grief support for people navigating loss, both in the UK and internationally.
Grief has shaped both my life and my work. Long before widowhood, I had already known deep loss through bereavement, divorce, infertility and the many ways life can break us open and ask us to begin again.
Then came caregiving, anticipatory grief and eventually the death of my husband.
Alongside my own lived experience, I spent nearly 30 years working in policing, supporting victims, survivors and families through trauma, sudden death, homicide, abuse and profound loss.
This was not just my work. It shaped the way I listen, hold space and sit alongside people in some of the hardest moments of their lives. It taught me how to witness grief without trying to fix it, how trauma lives in the body and how loss can change a person completely.
I do not use the phrase trauma informed lightly. My understanding was built through decades of specialist training and years of working closely with people navigating trauma and grief.
Grief coaching is not therapy, and it is not about fixing you or helping you move on. It is about creating a space where your grief can be witnessed, honoured and understood. A space where love, pain, anger, fear and hope can all exist together.
My work is holistic because grief is not just something we think about. It lives in the body, the mind and the soul.
Through grief coaching, EFT, Reiki, Sound Healing and Grief Movement, I help people feel seen, supported and less alone as they learn to carry life after loss with more understanding, more love and less pain.

EFT/Tapping
EFT is a powerful tool for supporting someone navigating grief. It is a non-invasive method that helps us work on specific issues and emotions. We tap on acupressure points on the body, which are the meridian points used in acupuncture. The points access where energy flows through our bodies. By tapping on these points we can release the stored energy in the body which releases physical and emotional issues.
EFT is a tool that you will be able to access once you have practiced the technique.
The Grief Retreat
A day to simply be.
Are you craving a space where you can drop the mask and not have to be strong or fine?
A place where grief is understood and you can show up exactly as you are.
Grief can feel so lonely. Everyone else’s world keeps turning while yours has stopped. You’re left trying to make sense of a life that has changed forever.
This day has been created for you. A gentle pause from the noise. A space to rest, breathe and connect with others who simply get it.
Through calm, nurturing practices, we’ll tend to your nervous system, help you feel grounded again and give you tools to carry into your daily grief.
You don’t need to fix anything. You don’t need to have the right words. Just come as you are, broken, brave, grieving, human.
This Day retreat has limited spaces as I want to ensure the space is intimate and safe where you feel seen and held.
