Soulful Approaches for Loss & Grief
Navigate the turbulent waters & wilderness landscapes of your grieving heart
“Embrace your grief.
For there your soul will grow.”
- Carl Jung -
The Grief Doula is a private grief care practice based in Cape Town, South Africa. The name was inspired by the ancient Greek concept of doula - a woman who serves.
Much like the steadfast presence of traditional doulas during life's threshold experiences (like birth and end-of-life support), The Grief Doula holds space for clients with unwavering compassion, care, and support as they navigate the transformative depths of their loss and grief.
Individual Grief Support Sessions
Like the midwives of old, The Grief Doula believes in guiding the brokenhearted through their sacred odyssey with reverence and compassion.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and everyone processes it differently. One-on-one sessions provide a safe, compassionate and confidential space where you can explore your grief journey at your own pace. Here we honour the unique contours of your grief, while offering a framework of hope, healing, and inner transformation.
Upcoming Retreats
Our retreats are a sanctuary for the brokenhearted seeking relief, support, or guidance through the depths and nuances of grief.
Grief is a natural healing response to deep loss. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an unexpected health diagnosis, a major life change, or unaddressed grief from past losses, this retreat offers a compassionate space to navigate the turbulent waters and wilderness landscapes of your grieving heart.
Join us to explore soulful approaches that can support and nurture you through your grief journey.
Meet The Grief Doula
As a grief care and grief support service, The Grief Doula is a compassionate and empathetic guide for one of the human heart’s most painful experiences: the intricate and often devastating landscape of loss and grief. Drawing from her personal ‘apprenticeship with Grief’, alongside her former background in corporate crisis management, trauma-informed yoga therapy, and deeply influenced by Jungian psychology, The Grief Doula offers non-denominational yet soulful approaches to psycho-spiritual support for those moving through loss, grief, or major life changes.
“We live in a culture where people need us to move through our grief for the sake of their own comfort, and grief does not have a timeline. It takes as long as it takes.”
