If this feels like home,
Let’s begin the work.
You can bring anything into this work:
The grief you can name, and the grief you can’t.
What your earliest relationships taught your body to carry.
The loss that doesn’t have a funeral.
Most people come when something is shifting and they want to understand what’s actually true for them. Grief lives in the body. The work meets it there.
The Attachment Grief Framework
Four ways in, one direction
Attachment-Focused EMDR. Working at the nervous-system level where grief resides, drawing on Laurel Parnell’s model.
Mother Hunger® Framework. Naming and tending the grief of maternal absence. Angela is a trained facilitator of the framework created by Kelly McDaniel.
Grief & Attachment Work. Exploring how your early relational history shapes the way you process every loss.
Equine-Assisted Healing. The relationship with the horse becomes a somatic entry point for what words can’t reach.
