Held in Grief | Guided Meditation & Reiki for Grief & Bereavement in Wexford and Online
Grief has a way of changing everything.
It can arrive after the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, the loss of a pet, a life-changing diagnosis, or the life you thought you were going to have.
No two people experience grief in the same way.
For some, it feels like sadness.
For others, it feels like numbness, anger, guilt, anxiety or complete exhaustion.
Sometimes grief shows up years after the loss, long after the world expects you to have "moved on."
I don't believe grief is something we get over.
I believe grief is love that continues after someone has gone.
The relationship changes, but the love remains.
Why I Created Held in Grief
Over the years, I've sat with many people carrying loss.
One thing I noticed again and again was how often people apologised for still grieving.
"I should be over this."
"I don't want to burden anyone."
"I don't want people to think I'm dwelling on it."
Yet grief doesn't work to anyone else's timeline.
It asks to be witnessed.
Not fixed.
Not rushed.
Not explained away.
Held in Grief was created to offer something beautifully simple—a place where you don't have to be anything other than exactly who you are.
A place where your loved one's name can be spoken.
Where tears are welcome.
Where silence is welcome too.
What Happens During the Session?
Each session begins with conversation.
If you'd like to, you'll have space to tell me about the person you've lost.
Share their stories.
Talk about your memories.
Speak about your anger, your confusion, your guilt or your love.
Or perhaps you won't feel like talking at all.
Both are completely okay.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
From there, I'll guide you through a gentle meditation designed to help your body soften and your nervous system settle.
We'll then move into a Reiki healing session.
During Reiki, many people experience a sense of calm, emotional release or deep rest.
Some simply enjoy having permission to stop carrying everything for an hour.
Every experience is different.
Everything you feel—or don't feel—is welcome.
Why Combine Grief and Reiki?
Grief doesn't only live in our thoughts.
It lives in our bodies too.
It can settle in our chest.
Our breathing becomes shallow.
Our shoulders become heavy.
Sleep becomes difficult.
We find ourselves exhausted without understanding why.
Reiki isn't about taking grief away.
Nor would I ever want it to.
Grief exists because love exists.
Instead, Reiki creates an opportunity for the nervous system to rest while allowing emotions to move with gentleness and compassion.
Sometimes what we need most isn't advice.
It's somewhere to exhale.

This Session May Be Right for You If...
You've experienced the death of someone you love.
You're grieving a relationship or marriage.
You're navigating pregnancy or fertility loss.
You've lost a beloved pet.
You're struggling after a major life transition.
You feel like everyone else has moved on, but you haven't.
You simply want somewhere to remember the person you love without feeling like you need to hide your grief.
My Philosophy
I don't believe grief is something we need to heal from.
I believe we learn how to carry it.
Over time, grief changes shape.
It softens.
It becomes woven into who we are.
Not because we've forgotten the person we lost, but because we've learned to continue living while carrying their love with us.
Held in Grief is an invitation to slow down, to remember, to cry if you need to, to laugh when memories arise, and to allow yourself to be held exactly where you are.
You don't have to carry your grief alone.
