How I Learned to Embrace Life Again

Hi, I'm Sabine, and I'm so glad you've found me. I'm a Wellness & Grief Specialist, here to guide you through this overwhelming time and support you in taking small, gentle steps towards reclaiming your well-being after your devastating loss.

Grief is heavy, and caring for yourself often feels impossible because of it. But I know from experience that it's possible to regain your energy and well-being, even though it feels like a massive mountain to climb.

I never had any grand ambition of becoming a nutritionist or yoga therapist. In fact, it wasn't a path I had planned at all. But even before life pushed me into changing my career, I had always been fascinated by how food and nature can help us heal or prevent illness. My personal journey – particularly through the loss of my husband to leukaemia – is what led me to these practices and, ultimately, to the work I do today.

When My Whole Life Changed

When Kevin died, I promised him I would look after myself. I had all the tools - I had learned how to cook through his illness and not just any food but 100% nutrient-dense meals that are right for my body type.

Still, grief has a way of turning even the simplest tasks into insurmountable obstacles. It drains our energy in more ways than you'd think possible, playing constant ping-pong with our moods and emotions so that the person we once were becomes unrecognisable.

Despite knowing what my body needed, there were days when I couldn't bring myself to eat properly or practice yoga. That's when my Ayurvedic doctor gently reminded me that nourishing my body wasn't optional - it was essential for moving forward.

Everybody needs such a gentle nudge - and I'd like to be your gentle companion on your unique journey through grief. 

Since Kevin died, I’ve continuously searched for simple, effective tools that truly help when everything feels overwhelming. This quest has led me to become a qualified nutritionist, yoga therapist, and most recently, to add Ayurvedic aromatherapy and marma therapy to my healing repertoire.

I believe that when grief consumes us, we need uncomplicated, gentle approaches rather than complex regimens – which is why I focus on practical tools that don't require enormous effort when you're already depleted.

How I Support Others Now

Today, I work with grieving people who are struggling to take care of themselves - whether that means forgetting to eat, having trouble sleeping, or feeling constantly anxious and overwhelmed.

My approach doesn't require you to "get over" your grief or pretend you're okay when you're not. Instead, it focuses on simple, practical ways to support your body so it can better carry the weight of your grief.

Together, we'll find approaches that work for your unique situation:

• Simple, nourishing foods that stabilise your energy and mood
• Breathing techniques that can calm your nervous system in minutes
• Gentle movement practices that help release the physical tension grief creates
• Aromatherapy and touch therapy for moments when emotions feel too intense
• Manageable daily routines that provide structure when everything feels chaotic

We’ll work at a pace that suits you, focusing on small, achievable steps because even tiny changes can make a big difference in how you feel, day by day.

This Isn't Just Professional Knowledge

What I offer comes from both professional training and lived experience. I know what it's like to wake up and wonder how you'll get through another day. I understand the emptiness of cooking for one when you used to cook for two. I've felt the frustration of people expecting you to "move on" when you're still struggling to get out of bed.

But I also know that there are gentle, natural ways to support yourself through this journey - practices that don't dismiss your grief but help you carry it with a little more strength and ease.

One small step can change your life
