Hi, I'm Alison and I'm here for you...

The bond we share with our animals makes saying goodbye one of the hardest parts of loving them.

​

You may be facing difficult decisions as your animal's health changes, wondering how you'll know when the time is right, or trying to prepare for a goodbye you don't feel ready for. Or perhaps you've already experienced that loss and are finding life very different without them.

​

Whether you're preparing for goodbye or grieving afterward, I'm here to offer compassionate support, understanding, and guidance.

​

For more than 30 years, I've worked with animals and the people who love them. I've also known the heartbreak of saying goodbye to animals I've deeply loved myself.

As a Certified Pet Chaplain, I support people through anticipatory grief, end-of-life decisions, pet loss, and the adjustment that follows.

​

I know there isn't one right way to experience this. My role is to listen, understand what you're going through, and offer support that honors your grief and the lasting bond you have with your animal.

Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.”

Transition with Grace

Support for you and your animal as you face the changes and decisions that can come near the end of life. Together, we can talk through quality-of-life concerns, the emotions of anticipatory grief, and ways to prepare for the goodbye ahead. We can also explore how to make the most of the time you still have together and create a goodbye that reflects the love and life you've shared.

Peaceful Hearts Grief Support

A five-week one-on-one program created to support you after the loss of a beloved animal. Through conversation, reflection, creative exercises, and grief movement practices, we’ll explore what you’re experiencing and give your grief different ways to be expressed and cared for. Each week builds on the last while honoring your own experience, your memories, and the lasting bond you have with your animal.
