Navigate change, discover renewed purpose, and foster well-being across all aspects of your personal and professional life
Integrative health coaching for individuals, groups, and organizations
Coaching and Support for…
Loss and Grief
We will all struggle with loss and grief at some point in our lives. I help you understand what your grief is trying to tell you so that you can learn and grow toward finding peace, renewed purpose, and meaning.
Who I Serve:
Individuals…
Grieving the loss of a loved one
Coping with ambiguous loss, such as caregiving for someone with dementia or experiencing estrangement from a close family member
Facing non-death losses, like an empty nest, loss of career, purpose, good health, or faith
Dealing with secondary losses resulting from a primary loss, such as losing friendships, community, or financial stability after a divorce
Struggling with cumulative loss, experiencing multiple losses before fully grieving the primary one
Navigating nonfinite loss, where hopes and dreams don’t materialize as expected, like not having desired children or finding the right life partner
Confronting anticipatory grief due to a medical diagnosis in oneself or a loved one
Managing disenfranchised grief, where societal norms invalidate the need to grieve because the situation "isn’t that bad" or "should be over by now."
My Approach:
I take a holistic and compassionate approach, combining a deep understanding of various grief frameworks with insights into the biology of grief.
Emotional Resilience
Emotions are complex, and when misunderstood or ignored, they can prevent us from becoming our best selves. I work with individuals to help them navigate life’s toughest transitions with emotional clarity, self-awareness, and resilience.
Who I Serve:
Individuals in Transition: Those navigating significant life changes like divorce, job changes, or health challenges.
People Seeking Emotional Clarity: Individuals looking to better understand and manage their feelings to move forward with confidence.
Those Facing Complex Emotional Challenges: I provide support for managing difficult emotions that may be holding you back.
My Approach:
Emotional Awareness Coaching: We explore your emotions and how they impact your life, so you can better handle what surfaces.
Personalized Support: Tailored guidance to help you understand yourself and develop emotional resilience.
Self-Awareness for Growth: I come alongside you to foster self-awareness, allowing you to navigate life’s transitions with strength and authenticity.
I am here to help you embrace and understand your emotions, empowering you to grow and face life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
Organizations & Professionals
I collaborate with teams and organizations to enhance emotional health, self-awareness, and interpersonal understanding. My structured coaching programs are designed to foster both personal and collective growth, aligning individual behaviors with team and organizational goals.
Who I Serve:
Teams and Organizations: Groups seeking to improve collaboration, emotional awareness, and alignment with shared objectives.
Executives and Professionals: Individuals striving to cultivate self-awareness and emotional resilience to contribute more effectively within their teams.
My Approach:
Group Circles: Facilitate personal and collective growth through shared experiences, enhancing team dynamics and communication.
Individual Coaching: Tailored sessions to support emotional resilience and self-awareness, helping professionals bring their best selves to the workplace.
Team Development: Focus on building interpersonal understanding and emotional awareness, aligning behaviors with team and organizational goals.
My holistic approach helps create a healthier, more connected workplace where individuals and teams thrive together.

“After the unexpected passing of my mother, I found myself stunned in grief and uncertainty.
Fortunately, I was already working with Larey during her internship at the Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing as a Health Coach. Her meaningful coaching and guidance surpassed my understanding of what I needed. Larey’s impact on my healing journey also allowed me to finally work through the pain of losing my father and sister years ago. Her attentive listening, empathetic support, and resources provided a safe space for me to express my emotions and heal constructively. Through her expertise, I discovered strategies for my wellbeing and gained hope and resilience. The lessons I learned from Larey will forever be in my heart, equipping me for a healthier and fulfilling life. I feel blessed to have crossed paths with her and I am deeply grateful for her support.”
