Mentorship for grief support practitioners
Because you desire to build (and grow) a heart-centered, ethical & abundant practice that brings true companionship and healing to those who grieve.
The Mentorship is an intimate group space that assists you in building a responsible, abundant & sustainable business that fulfills your soul’s calling to create healing holding spaces for grief.
Your work is a calling.
You got into this work because you understand loss.
You have been shaped and changed by grief and you now feel called to be a support to others. You have a million ideas for creating spaces of solace & sanctuary for those who grieve.
While you are inspired and deeply committed to your purpose, there might also be fear.
Entrepreneurship (not unlike grief) tends to confront us to all of our fears, all at once.
Our fear of inadequacy, of not knowing enough, our old wounding around money & judgement, our fear of doing something wrong or creating harm and of course, our fear of failure.
And if you’re a solopreneur, you’re navigating this complexity alone which, over time, can feel stressful & isolating.
This is where The Mentorship comes in.
The Mentorship is an intimate group space that nurtures your heart, grows your confidence, strengthens your skillset and assists you in building a responsible, sustainable and abundant business that fulfills your soul’s calling.
There’s a lot that goes into building a business that is responsible & ethical for your clients while also being abundant and purposeful for you.
The Mentorship is a space to explore & refine FOUR dimensions of your business. Here, you ensure that as your business grows in ways that feel expansive and exciting for you, it is always rooted in values of integrity, trust and responsibility.
That is what will set you apart from other grief coaches and make your business sustainable over time.
-
Self Care
You’ll have a place to explore what your client’s experiences bring up for you. You’ll feel held in the anxiety & vulnerability that even the most skilled practitioner feels when holding the difficult life stories of others.
If your grief gets activated in session, we’ll hold and support you in that. No more crying alone in your office in-between sessions, bring all of that beautiful humanness here and feel held and supported while you expertly tend to your clients.
This kind of self care will help you expand your capacity to hold your client’s stories, to operate and grow your business while keeping burn out at bay.
-
Ethical Considerations
Get support in clearly defining your scope of practice, in building a network of grief counsellors and trauma therapists and become skilled and comfortable referring out when issues come up that go beyond the work you can do.
Develop the confidence to know exactly what you can support clients with while reducing the potential for harm.
Set up the tools & guard rails to protect yourself against liability and know what to do when things go wrong both in your 1:1 work and in your groups.
-
Growing your Business
Be supported in developing your product suite & curriculums for your 1:1 coaching, your support groups, your online courses and your marketing tools.
Learn how to speak directly to your client in ways that make joining your offers simple, easy and clear for them (while grows your audience & email list)
Develop new tools like workshops, free resources and supportive experiences that nurture your community and cultivates people’s trust in working with you.
Create sales funnels that support your clients at every stage and deliver a gentle and warm client experience throughout the sales and delivery process of your offer.
Clarify which type of sales funnel works best for your energy so that enrolling clients stops feeling stressful and draining and instead feels easy and exciting for you.
-
Deepening your Expertise
Bring your client work into our space for us to think about the areas where you might feel stuck together. No more late nights wondering if what you’re doing is helpful for people, we will explore it together (always in a non-judgemental and supportive way)
Deepen your understanding of the unique ways in which grief manifests for different people and learn new ways to support you clients.
Attend workshops with guest-facilitators on topics like Trauma Recovery, Trauma Informed Groups Practices and How Navigate Imposter Syndrome that will be sprinkled in every 3 to 6 months.
Continuing Education and growth in your skillset and body of knowledge is what will set you apart from other coaches out there who rely mainly on their personal experience of loss (while making you highly ethical and responsible!)
In this space, we will grow and continue to learn, together.
Tending to these 4 dimensions is what will give your business, and you as a practitioner, longevity.

About me
Hi, I’m Marie, a certified Death Doula who has been specializing in companioning bereaved people in my coaching practice for more than 5 years. I have now supported hundreds of people through both my 1:1 work & multiple grief support groups that aim to companion grievers in different phases of their grief.
I have run grief groups with different formats (from 12 weeks to 12 months) for early grievers, for early widowhood, for widows who are rebuilding, for cancer caregivers as well as a year-long group for widowed men & women focused on psycho-education around grief and trauma.
As is so common in this work, the best healers & companions are often those who understand loss and have been in the depths of their own grief. I’ve been getting more and more requests from grief coaches and companions for help with building and growing different aspects of their business.
And so, I have been offering business mentorship in a 1:1 capacity but have noticed that being solo entrepreneurs can be lonely and confusing, especially in a field where we work with such tender and activating personal stories.
This is why I have created this group space.
To bring ethical and responsible grief support practitioners together as we grow your business with practices that will prove sustainable to your own heart and capacity.
If this feels like the right next step in your business, schedule a call below so that we may explore working together.
Katherine Brito, Grief Coach
Where do I begin to speak about how invaluable Marie’s business mentoring has been for me.
I knew I needed help not only putting my ideas together and implementing them, but also with having structure, guidance and accountability along the way. One of the most important aspects for me when I started looking into mentorship, is guidance from someone who not only has the knowledge and experience, but someone whose business is heart-led.
When I saw that Marie offers business mentorship, it was a no brainer. I jumped for joy and emailed her right away to set up a call and get started.
Marie’s extensive experience facilitating groups, workshops and curating safe spaces in our grief community, along with how compassionate and supportive she is, make her the IDEAL mentor.
She truly cares about her client’s success and from the beginning she was able to see the many blind spots and gaps in my coaching business. She has helped me tremendously and we are just getting started! I look forward SO much to continue working with her and I highly recommend Marie as your mentor.
You and your business won’t be in better hands.
