Shadow Work Coaching

Shadow work is the process of exploring and integrating the parts of ourselves that we’ve hidden, suppressed, or rejected— what Carl Jung referred to as the “shadow”. There are aspects of our personality, emotions, desires, and memories that we’ve pushed away to fit in, survive, and be accepted. The shadow is not inherently negative; it holds both our pain and our hidden potential.

Unacknowledged parts of ourselves often drive our behaviors, emotions, and relationships from beneath the surface. They show up as emotional triggers, self-sabotage, fear of intimacy, perfectionism, or recurring patterns of conflict and dissatisfaction. When left unexamined, the shadow keeps us stuck in cycles.

In shadow work coaching, clients are guided through safe, structured self-inquiry to explore their emotional patterns, beliefs, and inner conflicts. Through reflective dialogue, mindfulness, guided visualization, and somatic and creative practices, they learn to recognize, and embrace the disowned aspect of the self. The process is not about “fixing” who we are— it’s about seeing ourselves completely, so healing and transformation can happen naturally.

Grief Coaching

Grief is the natural emotional response to loss—not only the death of a loved one, but also endings, life transitions, or the loss of identity, dreams, or stability. Regardless of the cause, grief can often feel like our world is crumbling. It’s a process that touches every part of us: emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a type of collective shadow, where many will try to avoid or bypass it, on an individual and collective level. Grief isn’t something to “get over”, but something to move through and integrate, allowing to reshape us with meaning and compassion.

Unacknowledged grief can leave us stuck, numb, disconnected from ourselves and others. When we face grief consciously, we create space for healing, emotional release, and growth. The process helps us honor what we lost while discovering resilience, depth, and renewed purpose. Through this integration, grief becomes an alchemical teacher—transforming pain into understanding and compassion.

Grief coaching offers gentle guidance through the many layers of loss. Rather than offering quick fixes or forced positivity, it provides structure and presence to help you navigate emotions as they arise—whether that means sitting with sorrow, finding words for what feels unspeakable, or learning to live in new relationship with what is gone. Through reflective conversation, ritual, and meaning-making practices, clients learn to move forward without leaving their love—or their humanity—behind.

End-of-Life Coaching

End-of-life work is the practice of approaching dying with awareness, honesty, and intention. It invites reflection on what truly matters, supports clear decision-making, and helps both individuals and families navigate this profound transition with presence and dignity. Rather than turning away from death, this work encourages engagement with it as a deeply human experience—one that can bring meaning, clarity, and peace even in its uncertainty.

Many people reach the end of life unprepared—emotionally, spiritually, or practically—because many cultures avoid the topic of death (another collective shadow!). This often leaves both the dying and their loved ones struggling to find direction or words to what’s happening. Engaging on end-of-life reflection helps reduce fear, strengthen communication, and create space for acceptance. It allows individuals to clarify their wishes and priorities while offering individuals comfort, understanding, and a sense of shared meaning.

End-of-life coaching helps clients explore their values and beliefs around death, identify what gives their life meaning, and define how they want their final days to feel. It can include support with difficult conversations, assisting clients with practical matters such as advance directives and legacy letters, or creating rituals of remembrance. For caregivers and loved ones, coaching can help them navigate anticipatory grief, come to terms with end-of-life wishes that may differ from their own, and find balance between supporting the dying and caring for themselves
