Containers for grief that don't remove you from life

Grief moves through activity — clearing a room, walking in nature, tackling a task together

My work creates containers where emotions can surface and release while life continues. You don't have to stop everything to grieve. Sometimes the dishes, the clearing, the walk outside — these become the container. The alchemy happens in the doing.

Ways we can work together

01

Medicine Walk

90 minutes · nature-based · in person

Grief lives in the body. When we move, it moves. This offering takes us out of four walls and into the elements — walking together in nature while creating space for what needs to surface.

Part ritual, part conversation, part simply being in motion. The land holds what we bring to it.

For those who need to move to feel. For those whose grief has gotten stuck. For those who find walls confining and need sky.
02

Space Tending

Home support · in person

Your home is the container for your life. When that container no longer matches who you're becoming — or when it's holding the weight of what's happened — the space itself needs tending.

Energy clearing and reorganization. Feng Shui principles and intentional aromatherapy. Home blessing and re-inhabiting after a death, divorce, move, or major transition.

This isn't interior decorating. It's a conversation between you and your environment — creating space for who you're becoming.
03

Clearing Belongings

Home support · in person

When someone you love has died, their belongings hold their story. Clearing a home is not getting rid of things — it's accompanying objects into their next chapter, honouring what they carry.

I walk alongside you through this process — helping you sort, decide, grieve, and release at your own pace. We use pause boxes for items you're not ready to face, photograph what you can't keep, and find meaning in what you let go.

When you're ready for physical removal, I can help coordinate that with care — so you get continuity rather than being handed off.
04

Chore Companion

Half day · in person

The thing that weighs on your mind but that the heaviness in your body won't let you complete. The paperwork. The phone call. The closet that needs emptying.

I hold space, lend my hands, and stay present with you while we get the necessary things done — together.

Sometimes what we need isn't advice. It's someone beside us while we do the hard thing.
05

Ritual Design

In person or virtual

We have lost the rituals that once held us through life's thresholds. Without ceremony, transitions happen to us rather than through us — unmarked, unwitnessed, incomplete.

I help you create rituals that fit your life: small daily practices to tend grief, family rituals to honour what's been lost, and group rituals for collective grieving.

Ritual doesn't have to be elaborate. It needs to be real, repeatable, and yours.

This work may be for you if

"When my sister passed away suddenly in the fall of 2025, my world shattered. In the midst of this heartbreak, I reached out to Maia. She helped guide me back to myself and helped me find strength, courage and the space to be exactly who I needed to be. There was never an agenda. There wasn't any judgement, only pure compassion." — Bobbi Sarai
