I am here to reimagine...

... what our lives can look like after the devastation of loss. It's normal to think, "The best part of my life is over," and it may very well be. Yet, it is still possible to heal, grow, and love in what remains.

Hi there. My name is Shelby (she/her) and I'm a grief coach, 2x author, and 4x podcast host. Thus far, I've experienced the deaths of my mother, best friend, and cat—as well as dozens of other non-death losses that brought me face-to-face with grief. In the upheaval and collective grief of 2020, I created Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, I guide my clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced. My work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.
