 Private Sessions with our Herd

​

We are currently offering sessions with our Bunny Team.​

​

We will resume sessions with the horses in the spring.

They are enjoying their winter holiday.

Growing pains of a different kind....

 

Sometimes growing pains are physical, like when stretching legs awaken a child, into tears, in the middle of the night. And sometimes being a kid, the hurt and pain is felt closer to the heart and mind... feelings and thoughts.

​

Sometimes it is the little things that are left ungrieved, uncelebrated and unacknowledged that feel unbearable.

​

A grief is a grief... the size matters to the one it belongs to.

Cole Imperi's definition and creation of Shadowloss and Death loss explains this beautifly.

 

" Shadowlossâ„¢ is a loss IN life, not a loss OF life.  When we experience a loss of something—like a divorce, infertility, getting fired, etc.— and can feel the same as if we had  the loss of someone.

Sometimes worse, because the hidden grief that follows leaves us feeling isolated." 

​

Death loss is the death of a person or a pet. Our animal family members are family too.

When it comes to matters of a young tender heart Shadowloss' may look like...

Death loss: the death of our people and animal family.
