What is Grief Coaching?
Grief Coaching offers specialized support to those coping with the death of a loved one or other significant loss. While counseling explores past experiences, coaching is action-driven and future-focused. Grief coaching forms a nurturing partnership that includes practical "grief work" designed to impact a healthy future. Guided by the coach, this work requires intentional choices from the griever to walk into the reality of the loss, process emotions, and adjust to a "new normal."


What to Expect 
As your grief coach, it is my mission to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to walk at your pace. We will gently explore how you grieve, discover where you are on your grief journey and brainstorm concrete steps you can take to grow and adapt in this difficult season of your life. 

Your grief journey may look very different from someone else's since no loss is identical and there is no "one-size-fits-all" formula to follow. With that said, we will utilize a framework which will help create structure as you navigate grief in your own way. Through compassionate, active listening, I will help you set tailored goals within this framework. As a Christian grief coach, I also welcome your expression of faith during every session. 

Walking the path of grief is a very brave choice. While it is painful, moving through it in a healthy way is the most helpful thing you can do for yourself. Let's walk along this path together.
About Me
Welcome. I’m Jodi and I would be honored to come alongside you as your grief coach. What I will bring to you is a calming presence, compassionate heart, and a sense of mission to help you experience transformation. It's what propelled me to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Ministry & Leadership from Life Pacific University, and pursue added training as a chaplain. It's also what led me to facilitate grief support groups as well as a trauma recovery group at my local church. Today, I am a Board Certified Christian Professional Life Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors. I hold certificates in Professional Life Coaching, Trauma Informed Coaching and Grief & Loss Coaching. 

But, what I really want you to know is: I have walked the path of grief too. I have known the heartache of a miscarriage, the sadness of the death of family members, the pain of estrangement, and the life-changing adjustments of becoming an empty nester. I have found hope on the other side and I believe you can too.

Above all, my calling as a grief coach is to be present with you in your pain, and a thought partner as you engage your unique grief journey in fruitful ways.

Testimonials

 

Jodi has helped me to learn more about myself and grow as she walked with me, navigating this new life after the loss of my husband, after 43 years of marriage. The handouts Jodi gave as 'homework' helped me to spend my 'quiet time' in reflection of who I was as a wife and mother and who I am now on my own. Jodi is such a good listener, staying engaged even when I felt I was rattling on. I was able to share my writings and poems. I found it helpful to say them out loud to someone, which brought a new perspective to me and probably helped me to grow the most.

"V"
 

Jodi has been a wonderful coach to me, during this difficult road of grief and loss. I have navigated great loss before in my life, but when I suddenly lost my husband-my rock, I truly felt so lost. Jodi gently guided me toward making sense of what I was feeling. Making the confusion and frustration of life in my new chapter, easier to navigate. A kind and gentle approach with care and compassion was what Jodi offered me. I fully accepted it. I needed that kind of guidance. The homework was always welcome, I wanted to work through the grief. Jodi knew what I needed.
