Meet Me
I’m Sadie, a grief coach and grief educator supporting people after the death of someone they love. My work is shaped by the death of my husband, Chris. Through conversation, grief education and gentle body-based practices, I offer space to be heard and supported as you find your own way to live with grief.
Grief has shaped both my life and my work. Long before widowhood, I had already known deep loss through the deaths of treasured family members and friends. I had also experienced loss from a different perspective in my professional career. I was sometimes the person who had to tell a family that someone they loved had died. My work in the homicide unit gave me another understanding of how profoundly a death can change lives.
Then came caregiving, anticipatory grief and eventually the death of my husband.
After Chris died, I was grieving while also supporting our children through their grief. It was a new experience, one that asked me to listen in ways I had never needed to before. It taught me that even within the same family, grief can look and feel very different for each person.
All of these experiences shaped the way I listen, hold space and sit alongside people in some of the hardest moments of their lives. They 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 grief. Also known as tapping, it is a gentle, non invasive technique that helps you work with difficult emotions and overwhelm. By tapping on acupressure points on the body, EFT can help calm the nervous system and release what feels stuck, both physically and emotionally.
THE GRIEF RETREAT
A place to simply be.
After holding space for others in grief, I am currently taking time to sit with and work on new ideas for future retreats for those who have lost their person.
Retreats are on hold for now, but you can join the waitlist if you would like to hear what comes next. There is no commitment to book.
My hope is to create a space where you can take the mask off and not have to pretend you’re okay. A place where grief is understood and you can show up exactly as you are.
Grief can feel so lonely after someone you love has died. The world keeps moving and yet your world has changed beyond recognition. It can feel like no one truly understands unless they have lived it too.
My hope for future retreats is to offer a gentle pause from the noise, the pressure and the expectations. A place to breathe, rest and connect with others who simply get it.
Through gentle practices and nervous system support, there will be space to slow down, tend to yourself and take away tools to support you in your grief.
There is no fixing here. No pretending. Just space to be exactly where you are in your grief.
Broken, brave, grieving, human.
Spaces will be kept small so the retreats feel intimate, personal and supportive, where you can feel seen, heard and held.
