A space for life, love, grief + soul

We are all impacted by what it is to be human right now. We are all impacted by life, by death, and by grief. This is place of belonging when our world is breaking, when your world may be breaking.

 

Life, love and grief, all interwoven

There was a time when the words on this page represented what it is to be with personal loss, what it is to be human and experience it all. This still stands true. And it’s now within the context of the complex world we’re living in.

There’s personal grief alongside collective grief.

There’s your grief, and my grief, and their grief.

We’re living through what Francis Weller calls the Long Dark, a time of polycrisis. We are being called towards our grief, in all its ways. Our grief is essential during these times.

This is a space for your grief, and this is a space for our grief.

This is a space for your humanity, and this is a space for our collective humanity.

Together we can bring grief out of the shadows, we can sit with the immensity of our grief, we can explore the depths of shame and the intimacy of belonging.

With an emphasis on doing this together, no longer isolated and alone. That we can only do this together. We can only meet our personal sorrows and the sorrows of the world together, side by side, in community and togetherness. We will weave the threads of belonging and challenge the systems we live in to imagine a more beautiful world.

There can be beauty here, alongside the hurt and pain. Not all the time, but sometimes.

 
 

  • “Working with Nicola is a joy. She coaches for impact in a kind, compassionate and supportive way. She’ll take you to the places you need to go to get the growth and outcome you want.”

    ADAM

  • “Nicola has given me the tools I need to cope and helped me confront things I never realised were holding me back. I feel lighter and have come back to myself. Working with Nicola has changed my life for the better – I can’t thank her enough.”

    CHRISTINE

  • “I feel fully supported and genuinely cared for throughout our work and this, along with using powerful techniques at the right time, unlocked some deep rooted beliefs / narratives that I didn’t realise were there nor connected to my current experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicola; she brings with her a brilliant mix of experience, knowledge and insight.”

    LAUREN

  • “You have been something very different from whom I thought I needed you to be and possibly more effective than any counsellor I’ve had in the past. I know your presence in my life will be a force for good — as it is in other people’s lives. The impact of your outlook and clarity… just that space to perhaps be more vulnerable than I am even with myself – is immensely powerful.”

    NITA

  • “Nicola has woken me up, I’m now awakened to life, me, my loves. I have started to love myself again and I’m a better wife, mum, daughter, sister and friend.”
