I’m Angel — a certified grief coach and the founder of Healing in Pieces Project. My work is rooted in lived experience, compassion, and honesty. I support people navigating grief in a way that’s human, non-clinical, and free of timelines.

Healing in Pieces Project exists because of my sister, Sarah. After losing her, I learned firsthand that grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s something you learn to live with, rebuild around, and carry forward. I created this space to offer the kind of support I wish existed — honest, grounded, and not focused on fixing.

No. I am a certified grief coach, not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical provider. My work is non-clinical and focused on emotional support, conversation, and lived experience.

To me, grief coaching means walking alongside, not leading or fixing. It’s about holding space, listening deeply, offering gentle reflection, and helping people feel less alone as they navigate loss — healing in pieces and not all at once.

I don’t believe in: Rushing grief Forcing positivity Treating healing like a checklist I believe grief is messy, nonlinear, sometimes even darkly funny — and always human. This space allows all of that to exist.

Only when it’s helpful and appropriate. Sessions are always centered on you, not my story. My lived experience informs my empathy, boundaries, and understanding — but the space belongs to the client.

I work best with adults who: Are navigating loss Feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood Want support without clinical language or pressure Value honesty, gentleness, and real conversation You don’t need to know what you want from a session to start.

You’re not. This space exists for the parts of grief that don’t fit neatly anywhere else. You don’t need to minimize, perform, or explain yourself here.

I believe in boundaries, rest, and sustainability — for myself and for clients. I don’t offer crisis services, I limit my availability intentionally, and I make space for my own grief and healing. That’s how I show up present and grounded.

Healing in Pieces Project offers non-clinical grief coaching and emotional support for adults navigating loss. This space is centered on honest conversation, reflection, and connection — without pressure to “fix” grief or move on before you’re ready.

No. Healing in Pieces Project is not therapy, counseling, or medical care.Sessions are non-clinical, conversation-based, and rooted in lived experience. I do not diagnose, treat, or provide mental health services.

No. Healing in Pieces Project does not accept insurance.Because this work is non-clinical, all sessions are self-pay only and are not billable to insurance providers.

No. Sessions cannot be submitted to insurance and are not eligible for reimbursement.

That’s completely okay. Grief coaching can exist alongside therapy or other forms of support. Many people choose this space because it feels less clinical and more human.

This space may be helpful if you: Are grieving the loss of a loved one Feel overwhelmed, numb, or stuck Don’t feel understood by others Want support without timelines or pressure You do not need to know what to say or have a clear goal to book a session.

Sessions are client-led and conversational. There is no set agenda. You can talk, sit quietly, cry, laugh, or simply exist. I may offer gentle reflection, grounding tools, or prompts if helpful — nothing is forced.

No. You can book: A single session A short check-in Or a multi-session bundle There is no obligation to continue unless it feels supportive.

You don’t need to be ready. You can show up confused, quiet, angry, numb, or unsure. Healing doesn’t happen all at once — it happens in pieces.

No. Healing in Pieces Project is not religious and does not follow a specific spiritual framework. Sessions are guided by your beliefs, values, and experiences. This is a safe and supportive space where you’re welcome to share your beliefs, questions, or uncertainties—without expectation or pressure.

At this time, Healing in Pieces Project serves adults ages 18 and older only. Support for children and teens is something I care deeply about and may offer in the future. Until then, services are limited to adults to ensure appropriate scope and support.

While I do not currently offer services for those under 18, the organizations below specialize in youth and family grief support: The Dougy Center https://www.dougy.org Free grief support groups and resources for children, teens, young adults, and families — including virtual programs. Comfort Zone Camp https://comfortzonecamp.org Free bereavement camps and virtual programs for children and teens who have experienced loss. National Alliance for Children’s Grief https://childrengrieve.org Education, resources, and directories to help families find local and virtual youth grief support.

Yes. The Resources page includes links to free grief support groups and peer communities if you’d like to begin there.

Sessions can be booked directly through the scheduling link on the website. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, you’re welcome to reach out first.

This space exists because grief is: Messy Nonlinear Sometimes darkly funny Always human There is no fixing here — only walking alongside.

You don’t need: The right words A clear goal A plan You just need to show up as you are.
