• Becoming an empty nester
• Losing a job or your community
• The grief of mid-life

Hi, I’m Jen Ripa
I’m a grief guide, expressive arts coach, and artist. I beleive that we can transform grief through unconditional love, self-compassion, storytelling, somatic practices, and creativity. I also believe that grief can be a doorway to transcendence. Grief needs to be witnessed in order to heal, and it would be my honor to be part of your healing journey.
The truth is:
Time does not heal all wounds. Grief requires some loving attention and community in order to heal. Â
Your grief and grief healing journey deserve kindness, love, and support.

Meet Jen
I’m an expressive arts life coach, somatic grief guide, and artist based in Connecticut.
After losing one of my four sons to cancer and my husband of 25 years, I’ve learned that with the right intention, guidance and tools, we can navigate these crossroad moments with so much power and grace. I’ve also learned that who we become as we consciously transform may amaze us.
After helping hundreds of clients rediscover their passion for life and sense of aliveness, I know one thing for certain.
You are not alone.
