How do I love a life I don’t want?
Grief changes everything. I’m here to help you find your footing, soften the ache, and
re-create a life that feels meaningful again.
Would you like to step into a bolder, braver, more alive version of yourself?
Life brings us to these really uncomfortable transition points.
• Loss of loved ones
• Divorce
• Health challenges
• Becoming an empty nester
• Losing a job or your community
• The grief of mid-life
Life breaks us open at these points and offers us an opportunity to expand and transform who are. What if you could bring more consciousness to this process so you could hold the largest possible space for your own transformation to unfold?
IMAGINE IF YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF VIBRANT, ALIVE, AND THRIVING AGAIN?
A comforting creative project to hold your memories and lift your heart, when you’re missing someone you love.Â

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.
