The Grief Tendress™ is here to walk beside you. With gentleness, ritual, and embodied practice, you are invited to bring your grief into the open — where it can be witnessed, honoured, and tended together.
The Grief Tendress
I lost much from an early age and spent decades searching for ways to live with grief. In time, I came to see I was not being punished but prepared—to serve at the gates of grief.
Each loss shaped my capacity to hold others. The path led me to the gates of grief, where I now serve as a ritualist and grief doula, tending sorrow as sacred ground.
Alongside the work of grief, I was called to re-member feminine wisdom. After years in spiritual study, I found home within the Awakening Women’s Institute and the embodied Goddess traditions — spaces where the fierce and tender parts of me were equally welcome. From this devotion, White Crow Wisdom emerged — a vessel for temple work and mentorship rooted in elder feminine guidance.
The name White Crow was given by Spirit — a matriarch presence who reminds us of the power and necessity of elder women’s wisdom. Her message is clear: we need the steady presence of women who have walked through endings and beginnings, who bring calm and clarity to a world in transition.
This is the heart of my work — tending grief and restoring the feminine ways of knowing.
Lineage & Training
My offerings stem from the lineage of Francis Weller, whose teachings helped me understand that grief is not a private burden, but a communal rite of passage — sacred ground where love and loss meet.
Through my training with Darkwoods of Grief, a living branch of Weller’s lineage, I learned to tend sorrow through ritual, movement, and shared witnessing — restoring the ancestral ways of grieving together that modern culture has forgotten.
My practice is also nourished by the teachings of Martín Prechtel on grief and praise, and Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects, which remind us that grief, gratitude, and belonging are threads of the same fabric — when one is lost, all are diminished.
As a Certified Women’s Somatic Educator and graduate of the Awakening Women’s Institute, I weave embodiment, nervous-system wisdom, and feminine spirituality into every offering — ensuring that grief work remains grounded, safe, and deeply rooted in the body’s innate intelligence.
This lineage — of somatic presence, ritual practice, and feminine devotion — guides me in serving as The Grief Tendress™: one who walks beside others at the threshold between loss and life.
