SESSIONS & TRAINING
A little bit of neuroscience goes a long way.
Grief is not a mystery. In many ways, it is predictable. We may not have the exact coordinates of what you will experience — but we know enough about the science to plan for the shape of it.
This is how our sessions & trainings work:
STEP 1:
Acknowledge the Loss and Demystify the Work
We begin by naming the loss precisely as yours — because grief that isn't named cannot be mapped. Then we bring the science into view: what is happening in your body, what your nervous system is working through, and why your responses are not a sign of weakness but of biology doing exactly what it was designed to do. You leave this session with the research, the data, and the clinical facts that explain your experience. Not only comfort, but real, tangible evidence.
STEP 2:
Map the Impact Across the Mind and Body
We examine the full weight of the loss through attachment science and Bowen Family Systems Theory — because grief does not live in you alone. It moves through your relationships, your family patterns, your sense of who you are in relation to the people around you. Understanding that system helps us find where most of the weight is hiding. We intentionally do not excavate what you are not ready for — but to give you an honest account of what you may not know you are carrying, and the work that lies ahead.
STEP 3
Chart a Science-Based Strategic Path Forward
We build infrastructure — identifying what needs to be in place for this grief to move. The people, the resources, the behaviors. And then we build the tools to hold it. Custom grief maps, interactive dashboards, resources drawn from the full breadth of the research — all hosted and accessible so you can return to them as you move. You leave with a structure that works for you long after our sessions end.
The 1:1 Support We Offer
Grief Mapped:
A Three-Session Intensive
The flagship engagement. Three sequenced, 90-minute deep-dive working sessions for understanding the full shape of your grief and building the infrastructure to move through it.
$1,200 · Three sessions · Virtual
Bereavement & Loss Counseling
For people navigating the death of someone they loved — including the losses our social constructs misunderstand. Pets. Pregnancy. Suicide. The person who was already gone before they died.

Disenfranchised Grief
For the breakups, the incarcerations, the estrangements, the loss of psychological safety. The grief that doesn't get a funeral but that the brain registers the same way.
$300 · 60 minutes · Virtual
Corporate Grief Navigation
For workplace transitions — layoffs, reorganizations, role loss — that activate the same neurobiological response as any other significant loss.

OUR SERVICES:
Grief Mapped: A Three Session Intensive
$1,200 · Three sessions · Virtual
If you want a fast, deep-dive orientation to the science driving our grief experience, these 90 minute sessions are designed to help you understand your experience. You'll have homework: structured prompts and reflection tools designed to keep the work moving outside our sessions.
By the time we're done, you will understand the full shape of your grief. How your body is responding and why. What your brain is working through and what it needs. How your attachment system is functioning in relation to the loss. How your sense of self is being renegotiated in real time. You'll have someone who has read the books, studied the clinical research, got the grief degree and built the tools — and who can keep you resourced, informed, and moving through this with real strength and real orientation.
At the two-month mark, you return for a complimentary 60-minute session — not to review your progress, but to be witnessed in it. To have someone who knows your loss, your map, and your work sit with you in where you actually are.
Every client also receives access to their custom tool suite — grief map, dashboard, and all session resources — for a full year.
Once you recognize what you're experiencing is grief, an orientation begins. Our shoulders want fall away from the ears. Brows begin to unfurl themselves. But surrender — that still feels more like a street brawl, than a natural, biological process.
This is where our relationship begins.
Corporate grief navigation
$300 per session
Workplace transitions — reorganizations, role loss, layoffs, sudden leadership changes — activate the same neurobiological processes as any other significant loss. The brain does not distinguish between them. What gets labeled as low performance, disengagement, or resistance is often a nervous system in the middle of recalibrating.
This is a focused, strategy-oriented engagement. We get into what you're experiencing at work, bring the neuroscience into view, name the part of the corporate systems that are causing disregulation, and identify what your body and brain are actually doing and why.

Bereavement counseling
$300 per session
Traditional bereavement and loss counseling for people navigating death, anticipatory grief, or the grief that arrives after a significant life change. Sessions are not scripted or time-limited. We go at the pace your nervous system actually needs.
In addition to her work as a researcher, Breonna is a certified grief counselor (CGC) and has her Masters degree in Thanatology. This work is grounded in current grief science and delivered with a commitment to naming what is actually happening — not softening it into something easier to dismiss.
Bereavement after death of a loved one
Anticipatory grief and end-of-life preparation
Grief following major life transitions, identity loss, or rupture
Disenfranchised Grief
$300 per session
Not every loss gets a funeral. There is no ceremony for the relationship that ended without explanation, the incarceration, the estrangement, the Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the miscarriage that no one knew about. There is no casserole for the loss of psychological safety — in your body, your workplace, your country. No one asks how you are doing when the loss doesn't have a name that other people recognize.
But the brain registers it the same way. The absence is real. The grief is real. And it deserves the same rigor, the same science, and the same care as any other loss.
This is a space for the grief that didn't get a room.
