Why I Do This Work
A decade of research. A lifetime of love. A mission born from loss.
In July 2015, I was faced with every parent's worst nightmare. I lost my amazing 14-year-old son, Perry, in a tragic accident at sea. His absence left a giant hole in my heart that felt impossible to fill.
I went on this wild journey to rediscover who I was and to attempt to make some sense out of the chaos. I dove headfirst into the depths of grief, stumbling around in the dark, but always holding onto this little spark of hope.
And you know what? Along the way, I stumbled upon some truths that completely flipped the script on how we think about loss. Turns out, we've got more power to shape our own stories than we realize, even in the face of the worst kind of pain.

A Guided Workshop.
A Unique Roadmap.
A Community That Gets It.

Tried therapy? The books, the groups, and still wondering what’s next?
Are you tired of just surviving?
Are you open to new approaches, even ones that dig deep?
Ever wondered if healing is possible, or if people just learn how to hide the hurt?
Are you willing to plant, pull, and water what matters most?
This is your invitation

If You Dare Keep Tending,
Can Grow From Broken Soil.”

Therapy can be powerful.
The Inner Garden workshop is evidence-based, growth-focused, purpose-driven, and offers practical tools for those suffering from grief.
This isn’t therapy.
This isn’t about diagnosing you. It’s about guiding you. Not back to who you were… but forward into who you’re becoming.
You’ll understand grief on a new level. One that allows you to take the driver’s seat. You’ll move. Reflect. Connect. Build.
Unlike traditional therapy, you’ll be surrounded by people who get it. A community where your grief isn’t something to fix.
This isn’t passive healing. This is tending to your own becoming.
If you’re ready for something hands-on and transformational, this may be for you.

Because not everyone is ready for something like this.
This workshop is for people who are willing to look inward, to sit with the mess, to plant something new, even in broken ground.
It’s not for you if:
You’re hoping for closure instead of integration
You believe growth and grief are opposites
You want someone to give you the answers instead of exploring your own
You’re looking for a traditional therapy session or diagnosis
You’re not open to journaling or exploring creative tools
But if there’s even a small part of you whispering, “There has to be more than this…” then this might be your season.
-
The Inner Garden is for you if:
You’ve been to therapy or groups, still feel lost, but haven’t lost the will to grow
You long to feel something other than numb, angry, or broken
You’d prefer to be an active participant in your grief, not just a helpless passenger through meaningless “stages”
You feel stuck, hollow, overwhelmed, or like you’re supposed to be “better” by now
You’re done pretending you’re “fine”
You’re tired of platitudes or empty clichés, and ready for real tools that work
You want to reclaim your life, yet still honor your grief.
You’re not sure what healing looks like, or if it’s even possible, but something inside you still wants to try.
Whether your loss was recent or years ago, this is for anyone ready to tend their inner world, gently, honestly, and with purpose.
You need a path. A way forward that meets you in the mess and offers more than survival. You don’t need a finish line.
If you’re ready to rebuild something meaningful from the broken ground,
this is where it starts. -
We ask that everyone apply to protect the space and ensure a powerful group dynamic. It’s not about judgment, it’s about timing, readiness, and resonance.
We want to make sure you're in a season where this path can truly serve you.
This work is sacred, the experience is intimate, deep, and guided.
