When grief turns your world upside down, you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
You deserve gentle, compassionate support that meets you exactly where you are.
If your heart is heavy with grief, please know:
You’re not broken - grief is love in motion
It’s OK to move at your own pace - no timelines, no pressure
There’s no “right way” to grieve - your experience is uniquely yours
“Your grief is an echo of the love that lives in you.”
My why
A note from Nicole, your grief ally.
What I know about grief
Grief changes everything – your routines, identity, relationships, even the way you breathe.
I know this not only through my grief support training, but because I’ve lived it.
My story
In 2021, when my sister Priya died, my world shifted in ways I could never have imagined. Grief was disorienting, overwhelming, and achingly lonely.
How healing began
With time, patience, self-compassion, and support moving through the hardest emotions, I slowly began
to heal.
What I learned
Grief isn’t something we ever “get over.” We learn to carry it, and even find meaning within it, as life continues to unfold.
Why I’m here
My sister’s death reshaped the way I listen, love, and show up for others. It’s the heartbeat behind My Grief Ally and the reason I became a certified grief coach. I provide tender support and practical tools to help you process your grief, honor your love, and find new purpose.
If you need a safe space, you’re welcome here, exactly as you are.
For the harder days, these gentle reminders are here for you.
“Grief doesn’t ask to be fixed. It asks to be witnessed.”
Grief is heavy. You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
As your grief ally, I offer compassionate support:
Your emotions and experiences will be
fully acknowledged, without judgment.
Validation
Connection
Through deep listening, we’ll create a
space of safety and trust.
Empowerment
With gentle guidance, you’ll carry your grief with strength and adaptability.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
As a trained support partner, a grief coach can help you navigate the complex emotions and challenges associated with grief and loss. As your grief ally (trained through the ICF-accredited “From Grief to Gratitude” grief coaching program), I listen without judgment and provide guidance as you adjust to this new, different normal.
Note: A grief coach does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. That’s the role of a grief counselor or therapist.
-
I support others through the death of a loved one or a beloved animal companion. (As a serial senior dog adopter, I’ve experienced several personal losses. #AdoptDontShop)
I also support those experiencing anticipatory grief, such as when a loved one has a terminal illness.
-
All of our sessions are guided by your unique grief experience. There is no “right” way to grieve. I meet you exactly where you are, listen, and share practical tools to help you honor your loved one as you move toward healing.
-
The one-off session is a solid introduction to grief support/coaching.
The four-week program is most suitable if your loss is recent or you feel emotionally adrift.
The eight-week experience offers deeper, long-term integration of grief and growth.
Still not sure? Let’s figure it out together during a free Meet & Greet session
-
Yes. While therapy addresses trauma and diagnoses, grief coaching offers practical, action-oriented strategies and non-clinical emotional support. Typically, people find that the two complement each other.
-
That’s OK. As your grief ally, I provide a judgment-free space where you can speak at your own pace. I’ll help you explore what support feels safe and assist you in communicating your needs to others when you’re ready.
If you’re seeking a compassionate companion who honors your story and walks beside you with intention and care, My Grief Ally may be the right fit.
-
I offer individual sessions and multi-session packages, depending on what kind of support you’re looking for. Your grief deserves care. We can work together to find something that fits.

My Grief Ally provides non-clinical grief support deeply rooted in compassion and presence. I am a certified grief coach – not a therapist – and this is not a crisis service.
