I combine medical expertise, lived guardian grief, and two years of direct mentorship with Beth Bigler in the Beloved-Guided Purpose that defines Honoring Our Animals.
You wake up, and for a split second, you forget.
But too soon reality crashes. The empty bed. The untouched food bowl. The toy perched on the couch like a ghost.
Your chest tightens. The questions start: Did I wait too long? Should I have tried harder? Who am I without them?
Your grief is consuming everything. Your sleep. Your appetite. Your ability to function. People keep saying, “They are just a pet.” But they don’t understand – your beloved is your family, your soulmate, your heart walking around outside your body.
You need someone who gets it. Someone who has been exactly where you are and found their way through.
I know this pain in my bones.
After nearly 15 years with my sassy Yorkie Belle, I woke up to the same empty silence you’re facing. Belle was everything bright and bold – a cheerleader who demanded the spotlight and filled every room with her fierce personality.
When Belle transitioned, my world shattered. In my grief, I found my way to Beth and the Beloved-Guided Purpose that changed everything. What began as my own healing journey became my preparation for something larger.
Through my work with Beth, I discovered that Belle’s spirit remained active – not just comforting me, but guiding me toward serving other grieving guardians.
Beloved-Guided Purpose
The lineage is clear: Arnie led Beth to her grief counselor, Marian, which guided her to create this revolutionary approach to guardian grief. Belle led me to Beth’s work, then guided me to become a practitioner myself.
For two years, I’ve trained directly with Beth, learning her strategies, tools, and philosophies inside and out. Every group, every workshop, every guardian she supported was part of my deep training in Beth’s groundbreaking methodology.
Belle’s presence infuses the work, but it’s Beth’s revolutionary framework that I now offer you.
Working with me means gaining access to something unique.
Medical expertise in crisis – I’ve held space for families as a physician in London hospitals during their darkest hours. I understand how to stay steady when your world feels impossible.
Eight years guiding transformation – I have guided clients to healing, purpose, and meaning through the integration of Kundalini yoga, somatic practices, meditation, EFT, NLP, breathwork, and hypnosis.
Working with me can give you confidence, clarity, nervous system regulation, and the support you need to find your strength and direction while learning to trust yourself again after a devastating loss.
Beth’s Beloved-Guided Purpose – I am the only grief coach in the world who has learned Beth’s groundbreaking Beloved-Guided purpose directly from its creator. I am fluent in the complete framework for understanding how your ongoing relationship with your beloved continues to guide and shape your life.
Proven experience with hundreds of guardians – For two years, I’ve worked with Beth supporting grieving guardians through anticipatory grief, sudden loss, and everything in between, using this revolutionary approach.
Belle’s active guidance – Her sassy, determined spirit infuses every conversation, ensuring you feel your beloved’s love continuing.
Proven strategies and tools of Honoring Our Animals – You receive the same Beloved-Guided Purpose framework, practical strategies, and transformational approaches that have helped countless guardians move with their grief while maintaining their ongoing bond.
What changes when you work with me?
You stop apologizing for your tears. Someone finally understands the depth of your bond.
The guilt starts loosening its grip. You remember your beloved’s love, not just your regrets.
You find yourself smiling at a memory instead of only crying. Your beloved’s presence feels closer, not further away.
You release anger, comparison, and the burden of “shouldering” and welcome self-compassion, discovery, and light.
You discover who you are beyond grief while keeping your beloved’s love as part of your story moving forward.
Guardians say my presence feels like coming home – steady, wise, completely without judgment. Like Belle is right there with you both, cheering you on.
What guardians are saying…
Tessa and beloved Hilary are honoring Grace
Hema approaches everything with kindness, empathy, and understanding. She has guided and supported me in my grief after my beloved Grace transitioned and during anticipatory grief with my beloved Hilary. She has a beautiful way of honoring my beloveds and the love we share.
I immediately felt safe, understood, and welcomed by Hema. She made me feel less alone by sharing her own experiences and by validating all my emotions and feelings. Her warmth and empathy made it easy to share anything and everything that came up in my grief. She encouraged me, celebrated breakthroughs, and always made me feel like I could do this. Having that kind of support during this time is priceless.
Hema taught me new and creative ways to connect with my beloved, how to move with my grief with self-compassion, and so much more. I am so grateful for Hema and everything I learned from her!
Your beloved guided you here.
You didn’t find this page by accident. If you’re drowning in guilt, if the silence feels unbearable, if you can’t imagine a future without your beloved’s physical presence, I am ready to sit with you in this darkness and help you find the light your beloved is still shining for you.
Your own Beloved led you here – that that first step.
