Why don’t we talk about grief?
Because it’s uncomfortable.
Because it’s messy.
Because no one taught us how.
When loss hits, life as we know it changes, and so do we – emotionally, mentally, and physically.
As time passes, we often feel pressured to “move on,”
even when our hearts aren’t ready.
Spoiler alert: Grief never goes away.
It lives within us.
But when we’re made to feel safe enough to reveal the depths of our grief, we can start to heal.
“There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.”
– Henry Wadsworth

fully acknowledged, without judgment.

Through deep listening, we’ll create a
space of safety and trust.
Connection
With gentle guidance, you’ll learn to carry
your grief with care and intention.

About me
Hi, I’m Nicole. And I know grief intimately.
Losing my sister to COVID-19, my father many years before, and facing a breast cancer diagnosis of my own taught me what so many of us learn the hard way: time is precious, not promised.
And healing? It doesn’t just happen.
It takes effort.
It takes courage.
It takes support to address what hurts.
I created My Grief Ally to help others give voice to their grief and navigate the healing process at their own pace.
As a certified grief coach (trained through the ICF-accredited From Grief to Gratitude program), I offer practical tools and tender support as you figure out life after loss.
I’ve got you.
Side note: As an Indo-Caribbean woman living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I embrace diversity and offer culturally sensitive, deeply compassionate allyship.
Let’s heal together.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
As a trained support partner, a grief coach can help you navigate the complex emotions and challenges associated with grief and loss. At My Grief Ally, I listen without judgment and provide guidance as you adjust to this new, different normal.
Note: A grief coach does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. That’s the role of a grief counselor or therapist.
-
I support clients through the death of a loved one or a beloved animal companion. (As a serial senior dog adopter, I’ve experienced several personal losses. #AdoptDontShop)
I also support clients experiencing anticipatory grief, such as when a loved one has a terminal illness.
-
All of our sessions are one-on-one and guided by your unique grief experience. There is no one “right” way to grieve. I meet you exactly where you are, listen, and share practical tools to help you honor your loved one as you move toward healing.
-
The one-off session is a good introduction to grief coaching.
The four-week program is ideal if your loss is recent or you feel emotionally adrift.
The eight-week experience is for deeper, long-term integration of grief and growth.

Yes. While therapy addresses trauma and diagnoses, grief coaching offers practical, action-oriented strategies and non-clinical emotional support. Many find that the two complement each other.
-
