WELCOME TO HOLISTIC GRIEF ACADEMY
Hi, friends! If you are a mother who has lost a child, I am so so sorry for your loss. I wish no one knew this level of pain, and I am glad you found your way here.
I lost my 3 year old, Trucker to cancer in 2017, and for a long time felt like an emotional zombie. I numbed with everything and anything I could. Shopping, alcohol, mindless scrolling, netflix binges, etc. You name it, I did it, to try and mask the pain.
You know what I found though? The healing is in the feeling, and it wasn't until I fully embraced grief in all it's messiness and pain that I truly started to heal and now see my grief as it is, my love. I now have made it my life mission to help other mothers who have lost children experience joy again.
I am the author of the best selling book Even If- A Holistic Approach to Grief and Living a Joy Filled Life With Loss. I am also a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, host of Not Your Average Grief Podcast, and a certified Life & Grief Coach.
Does this sound like you?
You are struggling to see a way forward in the future without your child.
You are stuck in the loneliness that grief brings and are struggling with your relationships.
You feel overwhelmed by life and are trying to figure out how to still live.
You show up at different events, birthday parties etc, but feel like an emotional zombie.
You really want to see and experince joy again in your life but don't know how.

“I knew that staying in a constant state of sadness & paralyzing pain was not sustainable. I needed help along this hard and shitty path and began to research. This led me to Shauna's uplifting content and Holistic Grief Academy. I just knew this was the space for me. I didn't know where this journey would take me but I knew I wanted Shauna as my guide and mentor. I am learning that you can be grateful for the gifts that grief sends your way. That you can be both joyful and sad at the same time. I am so grateful for Shauna, our community & this space."

Join Holistic Grief Academy
I have created a community + a space where we cultivate holistic habits to help to create the best possible environment in your mind, body, and soul for some healing to take place.
I will walk alongside you, welcome you into a powerful community, and hold your hand through the process.
Although I don't believe you ever fully heal from child loss, I do know that some healing will take place and must happen.
Your life won't be defined by what went your way. It will be defined by what you did when it didn't.

She invites me to be an active participant in my grief, not just a passenger. She has given me tools & structure to be able to keep moving through my grief and not feel so stuck.
