Meet Jen
Grief Coach, Artist and Somatic Guide
After the death of my son Oliver from pediatric bone cancer, and later the death of my husband of twenty-five years, I found myself asking a question that many grieving people eventually face:
How do I love a life I never wanted?
How do I carry what has happened and still remain open to what is possible?
How do I honor the people I love while continuing to live my own life?

These questions became the foundation of my healing journey and the heart of my work today.
At Thrivologie, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for grieving people who are learning how to carry loss while remaining connected to life. Through coaching, creative expression, body-based practices, and meaningful conversation, I help people honor their grief, reconnect with themselves, and discover that healing does not mean leaving love behind.
This is not about getting over loss.
It is about learning how to carry what has happened while remaining open to joy, meaning, connection, and purpose.
Your grief is welcome here.
Your love is welcome here.
And so is the life that is still unfolding.

Jen’s compassion, kindness, and gift for space holding allowed me to recognize my grief and the myriad ways it is impacting my life. The combination of journaling, movement and art expression allowed me to feel seen and supported. She offered realistic tools to manage my emotions and process my grief in a safe supportive environment.

Jen is good at leading people through a process of healing. She was there to support me through a time when I needed to let go of some traumatic experiences in my past so I could emerge and become a whole person again. She is caring, compassionate, insightful, and empathetic. I am grateful I had the chance to have her expertise to guide me.

Inside of the healing community that Jen creates, I feel a sadness releasing as it transforms into the joy of creating art and moving freely. I find myself smiling and feeling happier than I have in a long time. I recommend this community to anyone experiencing recent or long-held grief.

Three Ways We Can Walk Together

1
Private Grief Coaching
Personalized support for your unique grief journey.
Grief is deeply personal, and healing is not one-size-fits-all. In our one-on-one sessions, you'll receive compassionate, trauma-informed guidance tailored to your unique experiences, challenges, and hopes. Together, we'll create a safe space to honor your loss, navigate life's changes, incorporate well being practices, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels authentic, connected, and fully your own.

Group Grief Coaching
After profound loss, many people find themselves asking, Who am I now?
Group coaching offers a supportive community where your story is witnessed, your experiences are validated, and meaningful connections can form. Through guided conversations, intuitive painting, and shared wisdom, you'll be supported as you honor what has been, explore who you are becoming, and imagine new possibilities for the life ahead. We go big with paint so we can go big in life.

Creative Cocoon Community
Ongoing support for healing, creativity, and connection.
The Creative Cocoon Community is a gentle, welcoming space for grieving people who want support beyond a single session. Through live gatherings, guided reflection, creative practices, and meaningful conversation, you'll be invited to tend both your grief and your life. Together, we create a compassionate community where healing unfolds at its own pace, connections deepen, and new possibilities emerge.
