That’s why I created The Heartwork Collective—
the most AFFORDABLE way to access grief coaching from me + a healing process that works.

I didn’t set out to become a grief coach.
I became one because I know what it’s like to wonder if I’ll ever be okay again—
to wonder if I even want to be—
Because the only thing I really want… is my person back.
And that couldn’t happen.
When Eric died, I didn’t just lose my husband.
I lost my future. My partner. My sense of who I was.
I lost the life we built—and the version of me that lived in it.
And even when I started functioning again—grocery shopping, parenting, smiling in public—I still didn’t really feel okay. Behind closed doors I was a fucking mess.
I was surviving. Barely.
What I really wanted was to feel better.
To feel anything other than exhausted, hollow, or broken.
Honestly, for a while, I just accepted that this was my new life—my new normal.
I had built myself back up—and settled into a version of life around 70% sense of aliveness that always had a little dark cloud over me.
I mean, how could it be any better!?! — MY PERSON WAS DEAD!
But then I found the tools that helped me finally face it all—
his death, my thoughts, my feelings…
and most importantly, the guilt + regrets I thought I'd have to carry to my grave.
And once I did that?
That gap in my aliveness started to come to a close.
I could feel me coming back.
I got certified as a widow coach and took some programs + training in grief education + recovery.
I started working with grieving clients one-on-one.
Since then, I've worked with hundreds of them!
And they were finding real relief—real healing.
📌 BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH:
Not everyone is ready for that deep one-on-one work right away.
And not everyone can afford it.
So I created The Heartwork Collective—the most AFFORDABLE, supportive “griefeasy” around.
It has THE BEST transformational tools—without the high price tag.
Because healing shouldn’t be a luxury.
Join us.

❤️ FREEDOM
No timelines. No pressure. Just a space that holds you + helps you move forward when you’re ready.
You could keep doing this on your own—
But it’s probably not working.
The Heartwork Collective is the tools + the support that actually helps.
Gentle. Deep. Affordable.
"I decided to begin the Heartwork process about five months after Craig passed away for one main reason: to be present and supportive for my boys, who were still teenagers at the time.
I’ll always remember being in the backyard with my boys when I shared that I had completed the Heartwork. My son asked if I was better, and I replied with confidence, "YES, I’m better."
I could see the physical relief wash over them as the tension in their shoulders eased, knowing that their mom would be okay.
I still have my moments of sadness; I still cry, feel anger over his absence, and miss him immensely. However, the deep ache and inability to function have faded. Now, I can reflect on both the good and the bad memories we shared without needing to retreat under the covers for an entire day."
First of all, you're welcome. 😉
Secondly, I know private 1:1 work with me isn’t accessible for everyone. I wanted to create a super affordable way for you to still work with me—to gain the same tools + coaching I give my private clients—just with less one-on-one touch from me.
As a widow and after having experienced significant loss + despairing grief, I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible free themselves from the shackles of grief.
Nope. Not at all.
While I am a widow—grief doesn’t just come from losing a spouse.
Inside we hold space for all kinds of grief: Partners. Parents. Siblings. Children. Friends. Even complicated or layered losses that are hard to explain. But the language will be a lot of 'death of your person.'
If you’re grieving… you belong here.
This space is for you.
Yes.
You don’t have to be ready to “do the work” just yet.
The Heartwork Collective is built to hold you—right where you are.
In the fog. In the disbelief. In the can’t-get-off-the-couch part.
There’s no pressure here.
Just support. Gentle guidance. And the reminder that you’re not crazy… you’re grieving.
When you’re ready to go deeper, the healing tools are here waiting for you.
But in the beginning? Sometimes you just need someone to sit beside you in the dark.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
You might’ve been carrying this for years—quietly, heavily, maybe even functioning on the outside while still aching on the inside.
The truth? It’s never too late to feel better.
The Heartwork Collective meets you wherever you are—whether your loss was 6 weeks ago, 6 years ago, or 16.
This isn’t about hustling your way through healing.
You get to move at your own pace.
Some weeks you might dive into a video, journal through a prompt, or show up for a live call.
Other weeks, just being in the space—reading, resting, feeling—is enough.
Most members will probably spend about 1–2 hours a week here. But of course you can be here in more.
You show up how you can.
That’s more than enough.
Yes. 100% yes.
The Heartwork Collective can walk alongside your therapy—not replace it.
Most grief support groups focus on sharing stories.
Most online courses hand you information.
The Heartwork Collective does both—and then goes deeper.
This is a space where you’re held in your grief, guided through it with real tools, + supported as you start to feel better—for real.
No fluff. No toxic positivity.
Just real transformation, at your own pace, with people who see you.
Nope. Just a phone or a computer with internet.
The Heartwork Collective lives inside the Heartbeat App.

“I was a widow in my early 40’s, who had years of medical training but couldn’t save my husband. I was desperate and hopeless. I was lost
As I sat in that family room the morning Garry died, I messaged Kari. I didn’t know her. She didn’t know me, but she replied anyway.
One thing she said stuck out more than anything, and I hate to tell you how many times I had to read it. “You might feel like you’ll die from this, but you won’t.” She was so sure, even when I wasn’t.
Everything was chaos. After he died, the minor inconveniences suddenly became huge. The mailbox being knocked over by a snow plow nearly sent me off the deep end. I had to process doing CPR on my husband, trying to support my children who also experienced that trauma—all while barely wanting to get out of bed.
But like Kari said, it didn’t kill me even when I wanted it to.
I knew I couldn’t live like that.
I couldn’t just exist in this world. I wanted to live—because there is a difference between being alive and living.
So, I signed up for The Heartwork. I started working with her very early. I’d love to tell you when, but I don’t know. I barely remember those early months.
Things started to change. It was working—not because things got easier, but because it allowed me to process things more objectively instead of with raw emotion.
I can’t explain how or why it worked, but it did.
I felt 1000x better.
I’m forever grateful.
It changed my life.
Kari was instrumental in changing my life.
And through her ReBeginning program I found the support of some of the most beautiful humans I’ve ever met. I never feel alone. I always have empathetic people who can help me work through the challenges that come with being a young widow, and I have never been more accepted.
In losing Garry, I lost myself—in finding Kari, I found me.
And as much as it pains me to say it, I’m grateful for this path. I wouldn’t have asked for it, but I’m grateful now that I’m no longer crawling my way through the dark.
The person I was before is proud of the person I’ve become.
My perspective has changed. I know the things that really matter, and I respect myself enough to be as kind to me as I am to others. There are so many lessons that come through this kind of tragedy if you take the time to look for them, and Kari helped me find that light.”
