Halloween was my dad’s favorite holiday. The last one I spent with him was in 2007 — he was in his electric wheelchair as my sister and I went door to door in White Bear Lake.

Normally, he’d be decorating the yard with skeletons, ghosts, spider webs, and his iconic bat lights. We used to watch horror films together, too — Child’s Play and Silent Hill were probably not appropriate for 8- and 9-year-olds… I’m still afraid of the dark.

This time of year helps me feel closer to him. I see him in the skeleton decorations (and usually make a dead dad joke), and wonder what he’d be doing if he were alive — maybe handing out candy, or hanging out by the fire with us.

In many traditions, this season represents connection to the spiritual realm — a time to honor the dead and celebrate the lives of loved ones. For me, Halloween holds that sacred meaning. I think of the joyful times with my dad and remember how he’d raid our Halloween candy. He always stole our Butterfingers! You better believe I’ll have my annual king-sized Butterfinger tonight while watching a scary movie, in honor of Steve.

That said, Halloween can be hard for those who’ve lost someone. The playfulness around death can feel painful when you live with real loss. While you enjoy the festivities, remember those who are grieving and check in on your people.

If you’re missing someone, you’re not alone. I see you, and I’m with you. Sending my love. 🖤🦇🎃👻💀

I can’t believe how much has shifted in a few short years. From the depths of grief, I’ve found so much love, joy, and purpose. 🌿

About 3 years ago, I began my journey as a grief coach—building on my Craniosacral Therapy practice and my own experience of loss. Since then, I’ve completed multiple certifications, coached dozens of clients through heartbreak, and offered hundreds of healing bodywork sessions. 💆‍♀️

I’m also halfway through a Holistic Nutrition culinary program 👩🏼‍🍳 and dreaming up a farm-to-table healing retreat on my new property in Scandia. 🏕️

This is my way of honoring my grief—and the lives of my dad and stepdad—by transforming pain into healing and purpose. ✨

💗 My books are open for Craniosacral Therapy + Grief Coaching (virtual + in person), with healthy meal prep services coming soon!

🌱 And if you feel called to help others heal after loss, the next Confident Grief Coach School certification starts next week. DM me for info—I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you for being part of my journey. Healing doesn’t happen alone. 🙏

After surviving the loss of her partner to su***de, she found a new kind of strength—by saying yes to a grief retreat.
⁠
Grief can feel isolating. Overwhelming. Like no one could possibly understand what you’re carrying.
⁠
And showing up to a retreat in that state? With strangers? It’s brave.
⁠
But for one past retreat attendee, saying yes to a grief retreat became a turning point. She gave herself permission to feel, to connect, and to be witnessed—and it changed everything.
⁠
Here’s what she shared about her experience:
⁠
🌀
“Diving into this retreat helped give me a new kind of confidence. It showed that I continue to refuse to suppress my grief and my story.”
⁠
“Surviving the loss of Logan makes me feel like I can handle anything thrown my way—but I also feel similar about a grief retreat. If I can face really hard feelings with strangers, I can handle anything.”
⁠
“I was craving connection with people who had experienced a hard loss like I have. The retreat gave me the opportunity to connect and feel less alone. Just what I was craving.”
⁠
“There was never any pressure to participate. But once you get going, it’s hard not to—because Cami created a space that was safe, fun, and engaging.”
⁠
“One of the best things I did for me.”
🌀
⁠
If you’ve been considering attending the Breathe Grief Retreat next month, but have been holding back because it feels intimidating—I get it. That hesitation is real.
⁠
But healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
⁠
There’s still time to join us. Come as you are. Your grief is welcome here. 💛

Today I had the honor of facilitating a grief group at an assisted living facility… and what I witnessed moved me deeply.

Their sense of community was so strong.
They knew each other by name.
They checked in on one another.
They spoke of their loved ones and kept their memories alive.

It filled my heart… but it also made me wonder:

Why don’t we all have that kind of community in grief?

Most people I work with as a grief coach don’t have that level of support.

So many feel alone.
They feel the pressure to “move on,” and the calls and visits stop after the funeral.

Yet for this group, community was the most healing thing of all. They didn’t try to fix each other’s pain—they simply showed up.

And that’s why we’re hosting our grief retreat.
Because far too many people are navigating loss without a strong circle to hold them.

If you’re craving that kind of support and connection, send me a message—I’ll share all the details.

💙 Sending you love, and wishing you a community that shows up for you in the hard moments.

For years, I stayed busy to avoid feeling the weight of my grief. After losing both my dad and stepdad by the time I was 15, I pushed through life with a heavy heart—always moving, always doing, always trying to outrun the pain.⁣
⁣
It wasn’t until I slowed down—REALLY slowed down—that I began to heal.⁣
⁣
One yoga class, one moment of stillness, changed everything. I finally let the tears come. I stopped running. I started feeling. And that’s when my grief began to shift.⁣
⁣
Here’s what I learned:
✨ Slowing down does not mean getting stuck or falling behind — it’s coming home to yourself.

✨ Your grief doesn’t need fixing. It needs space. It needs your loving attention.

✨ Feeling your emotions fully is the key to releasing them. Feel to heal!

✨ Healing happens when you stop avoiding and start listening. Lean in.
⁣
If you’re stuck in cycles of distraction or numbing, let this be your reminder:

You don’t have to carry it all alone.
You don’t have to keep running.
You get to pause. You get to feel. And you get to heal.
⁣
If you’re craving support, message me. I’m here to walk with you. Or join me at my grief retreat this September to explore the healing that becomes possible when we slow down together. 💛

When someone we love dies, people often don’t know what to say.

So they reach for the closest cliché.
🗣️ “Everything happens for a reason.”
🗣️ “At least you had the time you did.”
🗣️ “Try to focus on the good things.”

If you’ve heard these words after a loss, you’re not alone — and you’re not wrong for hating them.

Join us for a FREE webinar on June 26th:
The Myth of the Silver Lining.

Let’s talk about why you don’t have to put a positive spin on your pain, and what real support actually looks like.

Together, we’ll unpack the harm of toxic positivity, explore why “looking on the bright side” can actually block healing, and offer tools for moving through grief in a real, honest, and embodied way.

This is a safe space for those who are experiencing grief, and those who support them.

The Myth of the Silver Lining: Why Grief Doesn’t Need a Bright Side

📅 Thursday, June 26 at 8 PM CST
💻 Held virtually — free to attend with recording available

To all of those who are feeling heartache on Father’s Day, I see you.

This time of year can be incredibly painful—and not just for those whose dad has died.
Coming from someone who lost both her dad and stepdad by the age of 15, Father’s Day has always been a tough one for me… all the reminders of what I never got, yet craved so deeply as a child.

All the marketing and posts about celebrating awesome dads this time of year seemed to rub it in – I remember feeling extremely bitter and jealous towards kids who got that “picture perfect” family whose dad is not only alive, but physically and emotionally present; a safe, protective figure, the way all dads should be.

Unfortunately I’m not the only one who shares this story. The more open I am about my grief, the more I learn that so many others experience various layers of loss when it comes to their relationship with their dad, even if they’re still alive.

It’s not just about death.
Some are grieving a father who was never emotionally available to them. Some are grieving a dad who left, or who was never safe to be around. Some are sitting with the heartbreak of wanting a dad they never really had.

And then there are fathers grieving the loss of a child. Or people grieving what fatherhood was supposed to look like—whether it’s infertility, estrangement, or the ache of dreams unmet.

If today feels tender for you, please know: you’re not alone. Your pain is real, even if others don’t always see it. You don’t have to put on a brave face or pretend this day doesn’t hurt.

Grief on Father’s Day is complicated. It’s layered. And it deserves space.

So whatever your grief looks like today, I’m sending you love and permission to feel it fully.

With you,
💙Cami

Hey friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve introduced myself. It’s important for me to establish community so I’d love to connect with some new and familiar faces in my circle.

My names Cami, I’m a grief coach and I offer a healing form of bodywork called craniosacral therapy. I’m also in culinary school to become a holistic chef! My dream is to open a healing bed and breakfast in the woods, specifically a place where grievers can come for rest and support.

I got into this work because of my own grief experiences. I was 11 when my dad died from ALS, and I was 15 when my stepdad died from prostate cancer. Avoiding my grief over the years made me physically and mentally sick, which lead me to eventually explore resources beyond meds and counseling (which weren’t working for me).

This is how I got into all the holistic healing modalities that I incorporate into my work — essential oils, food as medicine, yoga and bodywork, and coaching as an invitation to tap into my inner wisdom and empowerment that I needed to support myself in my grief.

And now I have the amazing opportunity to help others do the same.

None of us are getting out of here alive!! But that awareness of grief and death helps us to live fuller, more meaningful lives, if we can lean into those opportunities for growth.

This work fulfills a deeper soul purpose for me, and I feel so blessed that I was able to learn some of these big lessons from a young age.

I am always a safe space to talk about all things grief and death. If you’re needing help, please know that you are so worthy and capable of creating the changes you want to see for yourself and your life. I’m a support person for you in the process!! 🙏🤍

I have some upcoming opportunities for healing that I would love to invite you to. From free grief yoga to grief retreats, to private coaching and bodywork, I’m sure I have a resource I can share with you to support your journey.

If any of this resonates with you, please feel free to reach out. I also have some resources for you to explore in the link in my bio. I’m here for it all 💫

Much love 🥰
