Tapestry of Loss, written by Kathy George and her husband, is part memoir and part field guide for parents navigating the loss of a child.
Rooted in their lived experience, the book offers gentle reflection and grounded support for those learning to live with grief that does not have clear answers. It does not try to resolve loss, but instead walks alongside it, helping readers find steadiness, connection, and a way forward that honors both love and loss.

You’ve held everything together for a long time.
At some point, the cost starts to show up in your body.
You can look fine
and still feel completely braced inside.
This work helps your body feel safe again, so you don’t have to keep pushing through.
“I went back to [location] this past weekend and expected the memories to overwhelm me. Instead, I felt calm. The anxiety didn’t come. I was free. I still can’t believe it.”
You’re not the only one who has experienced this kind of shift.

You can be capable, responsible, and still feel like something inside you is unraveling.
Many of the women I work with have held everything together for a long time.
Through grief. Through pressure. Through things no one really saw.
At some point, the body starts to push back.
Not because something is wrong with you, but because your system has been in survival for too long.
My work is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience.
After the death of my son, and later facing my own medical trauma, it became clear
how deeply survival patterns live in the body.
I don’t offer pressure or fixing.
I offer steady, nervous-system-led support that helps your body
begin to feel safe enough to soften, and rebuild from there.
If this resonates, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Begin with the call.

Option 2: Nervous System Protective Pattern Assessment
Discover the primary way your nervous system responds to stress and overwhelm.
Not sure why you still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted even after doing so much inner work? This assessment helps identify the patterns your nervous system may still be carrying after grief, trauma, illness, or prolonged stress. It's the best place to begin if you're looking for clarity.
Option 3: Survival Mode Breakthrough Call
Review your assessment, gain clarity, and explore your next best step.
Your Survival Mode Breakthrough Call is a personalized 30-minute coaching session designed to help you better understand how your nervous system responds to stress and what those patterns may be costing you in everyday life. Before your call, please complete the Protective Pattern Assessment. We'll use your results as the starting point for our conversation. During our call, we'll:
Review your Protective Pattern Assessment results together.
Explore how your nervous system responds to stress, overwhelm, and activation.
Identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck in survival mode.
Discuss practical, personalized strategies to help you build more regulation, resilience, and capacity.
Create a simple next step that feels realistic and supportive for where you are right now.
At the end of our conversation, I'll recommend the Personalized Nervous System Mapping Assessment if it's the right next step for you. That deeper assessment expands on what we discover during our call and generates a comprehensive Personalized Nervous System Map with additional insights and recommendations tailored specifically to you.

I look forward to helping you better understand your nervous system and begin moving from survival mode toward greater regulation, resilience, and hope.
Option 4: Reclaiming Self - 3 Session Experience
A guided, trauma-informed small group experience designed to help you build safety, increase capacity, and begin lasting change.
My signature starting point for most clients. Reclaiming Self is a live, guided experience designed to help your nervous system move out of survival mode and begin building safety, capacity, and resilience. Over three live sessions you'll learn practical nervous system regulation tools, begin updating protective patterns that no longer serve you, and reconnect with the version of yourself that has been buried beneath grief, trauma, illness, or chronic stress.

Testimonials
What shifts when the body begins to feel safe
“The anxiety didn’t come. I was free. I still can’t believe it.”
“I feel real change. Not just understanding, but something different in my body.”
“My emotional baseline has shifted. I’m not living braced the same way anymore.”
Training & Background
My work is informed by clinical training, trauma-informed care, and advanced nervous system and memory reconsolidation methods.
• MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
• Certified Grief Educator and Grief-Informed Professional
• Trained in memory reprocessing techniques within a trauma-competent coaching framework
• Somatic and nervous system–informed practices including vagus nerve regulation and embodiment work
• Training in NLP, Time Line Therapy, and hypnosis
• Energy-based and integrative healing modalities including EFT and energy medicine
• Ongoing study in identity, narrative, and nervous system repair
This work is not about applying techniques to you. It is about meeting your nervous system in a way that allows real change to happen.
Accessibility Matters Here
Grief care should not be gated by cost.
When I needed support the most, I was turned away. That experience shaped everything I offer now.
Accessibility here is not an afterthought. It is part of the care.
This is not charity. It is equity.
The kind of support I would have needed.
The kind I now choose to offer.
