Thank you Nikki for leading with honesty and compassion. I left feeling lighter and relaxed, I'll definitely be back.
Jane
The Grief Cafe participant
Thank you, Nikki, for sharing your personal experience with me. It was encouraging and heartlifting to realise that i am not odd or sad in seeing death/bereavement and loss in a very final way on Earth, at least.

The Grief Garden participant
Nikki's Grief Garden is a lovely place to share your stories & feelings re. losing a loved one. You will be listened to with compassion & empathy.
Compassionate support for those navigating loss, identity changes, and life transitions - in person and online
Grief doesn't follow a linear path. Neither does finding the right support.
Whether you're barely surviving right now, starting to find your footing, or ready to explore who you're becoming after loss, there's a way I can support you.
Below, you'll find four options that meet you at different stages of readiness.
Start wherever feels right.

When you're ready for something a little deeper. The Grief Garden is a small, intimate group (max 10) where we explore grief together with gentle guidance and reflection.

Each session is guided by themes from The SAFE Method - softening, acknowledging, feeling, and emerging - but we always meet you exactly where you are.
Perfect for:
→ Those tired of explaining their grief to people who don't get it → When The Grief Café feels good, but you want more depth
→ Exploring your grief in a smaller, more intimate setting

How Do I Work?
All my coaching is guided by The SAFE Method.
The SAFE Method is the compassionate foundation behind all of my coaching work.
It ensures that before anything changes, you feel emotionally held, grounded, and free to move at your own pace.
The SAFE Method in Practice:
In 1:1 coaching, we move through these stages at your pace. Sometimes in one session, sometimes over months.
In The Grief Garden, we explore whichever stage feels most present for the group that month.
In The Grief Café, we simply hold space, allowing people to be in whichever stage they're in, without needing to name it.
S - Soften
We start by creating safety and space. No pressure to "fix" anything — just room to breathe and be held.
This stage supports: Overwhelm, exhaustion, emotional flooding
A - Acknowledge & Anchor
We name what's present and help you find steady ground, even when everything feels unstable.
This stage supports: Confusion, identity loss, feeling unmoored
F - Feel & Flow
We allow your emotions to move naturally, without judgment or rushing.
This stage supports: Stuck grief, emotional numbness, fear of feelings
E - Emerge
When you're ready, we explore who you're becoming and what small steps feel right.
This stage supports: Rebuilding, clarity, gentle forward movement
