Transition with Grace

Compassionate end-of-life support for you 

and your beloved animal companion

Saying goodbye to an animal we love is one of the hardest passages we face. It is also a profoundly sacred time filled with love, memories, and deep connection.

Through Transition with Grace, I offer compassionate support as you walk this path of saying goodbye with your beloved companion. My role is not to take away the sadness, but to gently hold space so that you and your animal may move through this passage with peace, reverence, and love.

What This Support Can Include:

Your journey is unique, and the support you receive will be tailored to your needs and wishes. Together, we will create a time for peace, love, and sacred presence through offerings such as:

  • Planning for the Transition – gentle guidance to help you prepare in advance, including supporting anticipatory grief, choosing personal ceremonies or blessings, and reflecting on aftercare options with peace and intention. You may also have questions about knowing when the right time is to say goodbye ~ is your pet ready, are you ready? We will navigate these tough questions together.

  • Compassionate Presence – sitting with you and your animal in-person or connecting by phone/video to offer blessings, comfort, and calm in their final days or hours.

  • Sacred Ceremonies & Blessings – simple, heartfelt practices to honor your companion’s life and soul, created for you to use at home or guided together during a session.

  • Guidance in Saying Goodbye – helping you prepare emotionally and spiritually for the transition, whether we meet in person or at a distance.

  • Aftercare & Grief Support – continuing to walk with you after the farewell, through one-on-one or group support, offered locally or online.

Peaceful Hearts Grief Support

Compassionate Care for the Journey of Loss

The love you share with your animal companion is profound, and so is the grief that follows their loss. Whether your goodbye was recent or many years ago, or whether you’re facing an anticipated loss, your grief is real, valid, and deeply felt. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Through Peaceful Hearts Grief Support, I offer compassionate presence, gentle practices, and a safe space for you to share, reflect, and begin to find moments of peace. Every grief journey is unique, and our time together will be shaped around your needs.

What This Support Can Include:

  • Storytelling – Share your beloved companion’s story and be fully heard with compassion.

  • Grief Movement Exercises – Gentle chair-based practices to release tension and open space for harmony and healing.

  • Mindful Reflection – Practices to help you find calm, connect with memory, and ease the weight of sorrow.

  • Creative Expression – Journaling or art as a way to honor your grief and celebrate your pet’s life.

  • Compassionate Listening – A safe, understanding space where your grief is honored and never judged.

Your Support Options:

  • Peaceful Hearts Journey (5-Week Individual Program)
    A guided, step-by-step path through your grief, blending reflection, gentle movement, and creative practices to help you gently process your loss and begin to rediscover peace.

    Offered online.

  • Tender Presence Sessions (One-on-One Support)
    Personalized care in single or ongoing sessions, tailored to where you are in your grief ~ whether you need someone to listen, help you create a remembrance ritual, or simply sit with you in compassion.

  • Circle of Comfort (Online Grief Group)
    A small, caring community gathering where you can share your story, listen to others, and find comfort in connection.

 Grief is not about letting go, but about carrying your love forward. Together, we will honor your companion’s memory, create space for healing, and discover light on the other side of sorrow.

You are not alone. I am here to walk this path with you, with love and care.

Blessings and Celebrations

Honoring the Sacred Bond You Share With Your Animal

Not all sacred moments are about loss. Many are about love, joy, and gratitude while celebrating the deep connection you share with your beloved animal family. Through Blessings & Celebrations, I create a unique way for you to honor these meaningful milestones and moments. Whether welcoming a new companion, offering prayers for healing, or celebrating a birthday or adoption anniversary, for example, these rituals allow you to pause, give thanks, and recognize the divine spark shining through your bond.

🌿 Adoption or Welcome Blessing

Bringing a new animal into your family is a sacred moment. A Welcome Blessing offers words of gratitude and love as you begin your life together, creating space to honor this new bond from the very start.

🌸 Healing & Recovery Blessing

When your companion is facing illness, surgery, or recovery, a Healing Blessing can provide comfort, strength, and encouragement. This offering invites hope and peace for both you and your beloved animal.

🕊️ Remembrance Ceremony

Saying goodbye is never easy, but remembrance can be healing. A Remembrance Ceremony offers a simple, heartfelt way to honor your pet’s life, share memories, and hold their love close forever.

Birthday or Milestone Celebration

Our animals give us so many reasons to celebrate. From birthdays to adoption anniversaries, a Milestone Celebration is a joyful way to mark the love, laughter, and years you’ve shared together.

💙 Personalized Written Blessing

Sometimes a few sacred words are all that’s needed. A Personalized Written Blessing is created just for your pet and family ~ something you can keep, read, or share whenever you want to remember and honor the love you share.

Each blessing or celebration is personalized for you and your animal, whether shared in person, guided virtually, or created for you to use at home.

Blessings and Celebrations are deeply personal, created with love and tailored to your wishes ~ whether it’s a joyful welcome, a healing ritual, or a milestone ceremony.

Because each one is unique, fees typically range from $35–$175, depending on the type of service and level of personalization.

We’ll work together to create something that feels just right for you and your animal family.
