I’m so excited and honored to share that I’ve been voted onto the Board of Directors at Laurel’s Grief Center located in Tonawanda, NY- right down the street from my old elementary school!

Their mission is to support children, families, and adults compassionately as they navigate their personal grief journey. They have several types of grief support groups and wellness programs that are facilitated by trained, certified peer facilitators who also happen to be some of the kindest people I’ve met.

I’m so grateful to be working alongside like-minded people with similar goals of walking with people through their grief as they find their footing, providing tools for healing and growth, and growing a community that understands what they’re going through. What makes this feel especially meaningful is that my work resides at the intersection of grief and neurodivergence- and so does Laurel’s. Finding an organization whose mission mirrors my own specializations so closely feels like coming home.

And you wanna know what else is so amazing?? I get to facilitate the Widowed Support Program IN PERSON at their location!!!

The ARROW Widowed Support Program will be offered twice annually- in the spring and fall- at Laurel’s Grief Center in Tonawanda. There is no charge for participation; donations are gratefully accepted for Laurel’s Grief Center.

Blue Lapis Mala 📿

Blue lapis is known as the “stone of wisdom” for its ability to help bridge the conscious mind with your intuition, support authentic self-expression, and inner calm.

A Reintroduction 💫

To those who’ve known me for years and those just joining me, thank you for being here and welcome to my little corner of the world! Getting to do work I deeply love is a gift I don’t take for granted.

Let me just preface this by saying that I’m still making Malas- just a bit slower lately… 😉📿

Since 2009, I’ve supported the widowed community as a peer, mentor, advocate, and now as a therapist and coach- holding space for grief, providing tools for healing, self-discovery, and the integration of grief and growth.

More recently, I’ve been supporting adults with ADHD and late-identified autism, helping them understand their unique flavors of neurodivergence while unpacking years of masking and misunderstandings. I provide strategies for improved executive functioning, greater self-acceptance and self-compassion, and authentic living with a more regulated nervous system.

What makes my approach unique?
A profound understanding of the ways grief and neurodivergence intersect + actionable tools that actually help- all grounded in love.

A little update: I’m continuing to work toward full licensure as a therapist in NYS (passed my exam last year- just 975ish hours of supervision to go!) and currently exploring a rabbit hole about somatic work and psychoneuroimmunology, and so excited about how this knowledge will serve my clients!

Thank you for being here and letting me share my little corner of the world with you. 💗📿

Just a fun little gift for a special 4th of July birthday…

This Rainbow Mala is complete with 108 semiprecious stone beads representing the seven main chakras. Included are a few white quartz beads and a crackle quartz guru bead to magnify and enhance the healing properties of all the stones in the Mala.

This Mala provides a healing boost to all of the chakras, and the extra amethyst beads give additional support to the third eye-chakra, thus helping to strengthen intuition and connection with the higher self.

This Mala has inspired me to make other variations of rainbow Malas- perfect for Pride Month! 😍 🌈 📿

The Sodalite Mala. 📿

108 soldalite beads with a crackle crystal quartz guru bead that resembles the full moon.

Sodalite stone’s healing properties are thought to improve mental clarity and self-expression, support emotional stability and calm, enhance intuition and insight, and increase self-esteem and self-acceptance.

What kinds of healing qualities would you like in your Mala?

Collaborated with a long-time client to create this very special custom Mala as a gift for his friend- a monk in Thailand who likely knows much more about Malas than I ever will! It was my first time making a three-pronged tassel- a fun challenge that included some trial and error, and resulted in learning a couple of new techniques! What an honor it was to make this. 📿

Wanna win a Mala? 📿

Although the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping others gain easier access to the Widowed Support Program is a great incentive to become a paid subscriber to this blog, I thought of a few other ways to make it even more fun and rewarding!
