​

Personally? 

Death has shaped & reshaped my life ~ I've learned to let it.

I'm someone who has spent a lot of time navigating transitions of all different kinds ~ by change & by choice, both by myself & alongside others

My professional approach is deeply connected with my personal experience.​

Whatever you are experiencing.
 

You don't need to have it all figured out.
(spoiler alert ~ no one does)

 

Let me help you find

RELIEF. RESILIENCE. RENEWAL.

Comfort in the discomfort of endings, beginnings & in-betweens

Your Guide On The Side

I bring trauma-informed support, understanding and a solid sense of respectful humour to anyone navigating the weird & wonderful landscape of change. Whether you chose it or feel it chose you.

Change in all its forms can be a wild time of facing the
unknown.

Death is the ultimate unknown but also the ultimate invitation.
With it, comes a reminder that we can feel many different things...
All at once & moment to moment
Fearful, excited, grateful, resentful, inspired, worried, prepared, confused, relaxed, insecure, sad, resigned... the list goes on. 

Change is a
natural  part of life.
From birth to death & everything in-between. 
And we have natural tools for
navigating it.

We just aren't
taught  them.
That's where I come in.


I can help you through, and to, what feels better to you...
No matter the circumstances.

 
 How you ask?






By meeting you exactly where you are
 
My unique recipe for navigating transition looks like...
 Honest conversation, exploring recreation, practicing mindfulness, cultivating care 
with a healthy dose of nervous-system friendly practices, perspectives, invitations, tools & rituals...
​
My framework helps you recreate your life after death
(whatever shape & form that comes in)  
by preparing for your own.

1:1 COACHING & CONVERSATION

In-person or online

Need some time to sift through the muck with someone neutral & non-judgemental?

 

This can be a great place to start.

My sessions can be done from the comfort of your home or mine. We can also meet outdoors while we walk, paddle, snowshoe... It doesn't get more personalised than meeting one-to-one.

​

I also offer uniquely recorded life reviews & interviews with you or your loved ones called "While We're Here..."

 

 

Let's Talk

Working from the Park

SELF-PACED PACKAGES & SUBSCRIPTION

Online

If you prefer to take your time, dip in-and-out, dive in or it just feels too scary to say anything out loud yet... this is just as powerful a place to start.

​

My online monthly subscription gives you access to all my programs, practices & products to support your navigating of whatever you may be experiencing right now. Or you can one-time purchase whichever offering is best for you.

 

Your pace.

Your presence.

Your possibilities. 

Let's Begin

Paddleboarders on Clear Water

RECREATION & TRAVEL

In-person

Want to try recreation with therapy on the side?

Or try a new activity but don't want to do it alone?

Have mobility changes but want to be active?

​

Have a bucket list trip but no one to go with? Retired & want to travel but unsure where to start?

Have a terminal illness & want to say goodbye to people or places but need a companion?

Have a dream you want to make happen?

 

I'm here.

Let's Explore

Surfing Together

SOLO & GROUP RETREATS

In-person or online

I offer solo, couple and group retreats both in-person & online (in real-time or recorded too). Pretty neat huh?

​

I can deliver half day, full day and multi-day experiences tailored to your specific interests, needs & desires.

 

I can also deliver presentations and workshops to your unique audience about any relevant topics ~ whether charity, community or corporate. 

​

Let's get creative together.

Let's Create

Still not sure I'm for you?
Totally fair! Start here...

Sometimes we just need somewhere to start that's 

free & easy

When circumstances are changing quickly, life is all a bit much or you've barely got one nostril above the tide ~ it can be hard to take that first step toward doing something (or anything) about it.

 

Below you'll find offerings designed to make that initial 'something' a bit easier. Or maybe you want to get to know me better first.

 

Whether it's conversation, meditation, recreation or donation...

there's something here for you to try.

TESTIMONIALS

Reflections from clients...

There is nothing better than word of mouth from real people who I have supported through transitions of all kinds, as well as to whatever came next.

 

It's a big deal to trust someone enough to support you through life's crunchiest moments.

 

I encourage you to explore all your options, experience my free offerings & if it seems like I'm someone you want to expand with ~ let's work together in a way that is best for you. â€‹â€‹

Working With Me

I take a different approach ~ leaning in to nurturing our natural tools for well~being.

Navigating transitions throughout life and at end-of-life can be complicated, heavy and messy while also being exciting, educating and liberating ~ whatever & however you are experiencing change is valid (and unique to you).

 

The superpower of being human?

We can be & feel so many different things in the same moment. 

That is the internal experience of change.

We just aren't taught how to do this without overwhelm.

 

I'm here to help you find some new ways of being & doing that don't soak up your precious (and sometimes limited) energy but instead care for your brain, breath & body in sustainable ways that bring comfort in the discomfort of

endings, beginnings & in-betweens.

Let's get to know each other...

Contact Jen by email and/or subscribe to receive gentle reminders for re~creation...

Looking forward to connecting!
