With You Still

Companion Animal Grief Support

Because Our Love Doesn’t End with Goodbye

Connect.

Paws.

Heal.

Grief doesn’t give us timelines or tidy endings—and when we lose an animal companion, it can feel like the world doesn’t always understand the depth of our pain. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.

With You Still is a compassionate, curated space where you can explore your grief, find support, and connect with others who understand the unexplainable heartache of losing a beloved animal.

We proved accessible, trauma-informed tools and community support to help you honor and integrate your grief while creating small moments of peace amongst the pain.

  • This one-hour course gives insight and practical tools for processing and integrating your grief while providing care and compassion for yourself.

  • Join monthly virtual gatherings where you can share your experiences and connect with others in a safe, understanding environment.

  • Mindful yoga, somatic tracking, and other body-based practices to help you process grief physically and emotionally.

  • Carefully crafted meditations and journaling prompts to support healing and introspection.

  • You’ll receive first invites and deep discounts for healing workshops led by various experts in grief and self-care.

Grief shared is half grief; Joy shared is double joy.

Grief can be isolating, but it doesn’t need to be. You can be carried with care and compassion during your time of grief, if you allow yourself to be.

 FAQs

  • I am a Certified End-of-Life Pet Doula and a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach and Yoga Instructor. I have specialized training in applied neuroscience, somatics, and nervous system regulation. I bring years of experience holding space for grief, mental health, and healing. I honor my scope of practice and offer referrals as needed.

  • No, With You Still is inclusive of all animal companions—whether feathered, scaled, or otherwise. We understand that all human-animal bonds are sacred, and we are here to hold space for that.

  • No. With You Still is Grief Support—not a clinical therapy group. While it may be therapeutic, it’s not a substitute for mental health treatment. If you’re navigating more acute grief or trauma responses, I encourage working with a licensed therapist alongside using this platform.

  • Recordings of Live Groups will be available in the platform a few days after they take place. We ask that you respect the privacy of the group and not share recordings with anyone outside of the platform.

  • Not at all. Our sessions are gentle and designed for all levels, with clear, compassionate guidance.

  • Absolutely. You can cancel your membership at any time from your Stripe payment settings. If you cancel, you will have access to the platform until the end of your current billing cycle.
