Moving Through
Grief into Gratitude
Have you had a loss and are you grieving?
Are you in pain and struggling?
Do you feel lost, isolated, or alone?
Looking for a community that is welcoming and supportive?
Discovering a sense of purpose in life allows you to shift from mourning to being thankful.
You will eventually find the light in the darkness, and though the sorrow may never completely vanish, you learn to accept it as a part of yourself and adapt to living with your grief.
My Story
_edited_edited.jpg)
I believe that loss takes many forms, including death and divorce, as well as losses of identity, safety, autonomy, dreams, or expectations.
With over eleven years of experience working in funeral homes as a licensed pre-planner and aftercare specialist, I have borne witness to our society’s preference that we grieve quietly, quickly, or not at all. My intention is to shift this paradigm, normalize grief, and provide holistic guidance for individuals to grieve openly. No one should be made to feel that their grieving process must be rushed or hidden behind closed doors, nor should anyone remain isolated and alone during this time.
Honoring the space between, I provide supportive tools to help people navigate the challenging periods before, during and after a death or loss occurs.

"Jo Anne's classes are like a warm hug. She creates such a safe, comfortable space where I feel like I can just be myself, and let anything that's here rise to the surface. I love her sequences because they flow in way that help me move and release my emotions. I always feel refreshed after, and quite relieved! It's a lot to hold onto all of that, and I really appreciate how light I feel after".

"I really had a great experience with
Jo Anne and her style of connecting authentically with the body. It helped me so deeply to express my feelings of loss.
I went through all phases – from the beautiful beginning to the painful end and surrendered fully. Then I stood up and was free again to connect with new people."

On each occasion- the experience met me exactly where I was and in the most gentle ways- allowed me to feel, process and integrate emotions that my body was storing.
