ABOUT

As a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and Coach, Decluttering Coach, and Reiki Practitioner, I help individuals create the ​emotional and physical space to help them process a loss, and to empower them to be an active participant in their grief ​journey.

After more than 15+ years living in London and working in the fashion industry, I suddenly suffered a loss that forever ​changed me. Not only had I lost one of the most important people in my life, my beloved mother and best friend, I also lost ​my health and my sense of identity - I developed PPPD, lived far from home, had no siblings, and no parents now - it was life-​changing. Step by step I had to rebuild my life and myself, and it was only through my own trauma and challenges did I realise ​how debilitating a significant loss could be, how ill-equipped many of us are to handle loss and grief, and how little space many ​of us have to grieve healthily. Only by trying different things did I come to acknowledge the importance of creating and ​holding space, as well as having a toolkit to process loss. I trained as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist and Reiki (I &II) ​practitioner, and started to coach others in learning to clear clutter and let go. Embracing a different version of myself by taking ​small but significant actions was key to my recovery. Recovery does not mean returning to the same person you were, but ​learning to find happiness and lightness in the every day again.

Grief is not about stages or waiting for time to heal you, it isn’t linear. It curves, zigzags, and is completely unpredictable, but ​one can learn to be an active participant of that journey and embrace its presence. The more we can embrace the ebb and ​flow of grief, the easier it is to manage it. Learning to accept grief and loss is a life-long skill that we all need to put into action, as ​no one is immune to loss. I hope to help others do this.
