Grief is as unique as the relationship we’ve lost, and there’s no “right” way to experience it.
Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the disappearance of a dream you held dear, your pain deserves to be acknowledged.
In our work together, you’ll find a space where all your feelings are valid — the sadness, the anger, the confusion, and the moments of unexpected joy. We’ll move at your pace, honouring your loss while gently exploring ways to carry your memories forward.
“There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what seems unbearable and what is most exquisitely alive.”
— Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow
Grief can feel overwhelming—like waves that crash over you when you least expect it. Each person’s experience of loss is deeply personal and deserving of gentle attention.
When you’re hurting, sometimes what helps most isn’t clinical techniques but simply having someone who can sit with you in your pain without trying to fix it.
At Santoka, we create a warm, safe space where all your feelings—the anger, the numbness, the profound sadness—are welcomed and honoured.
Holding space for you during challenging times
Through mindfulness and compassion practices, we’ll find ways to help you breathe through the most difficult moments. We’ll discover how to honour your relationship with your loved one while gradually finding a path forward that feels meaningful.
The pain of grief reflects the depth of your love.
We bring years of experience in mindfulness teaching and various therapeutic approaches, but most importantly, we bring our humanity and deep respect for your journey.
Whether you’re preparing for a loss or navigating life after one, you don’t have to walk this path alone.
Together, we’ll tend to your grief with the care it deserves, finding moments of peace and even joy — amidst profound sorrow.
Reach out today if you need a safe space for your grief and compassionate support.
