you were never meant

to carry the weight of loss

alone

–

I am Alyssa Rose, a local grief coach, a licensed massage therapist (LMT #25025), and trauma-informed somatic release practitioner in Portland, Oregon.

If you’re looking to better support yourself or a loved one through loss and change, welcome. Grief is about death but there’s grief within all change, and most of us are walking around with the silent pain of relationships ending, our bodies changing, dreams dying, the uncertainty of the future, beloveds dying, and expectations continuallly unmet.

Whether you are seeking deeply personalized one-to-one grief coaching, looking to release trauma through somatic grief work, or searching for a soft place to land within a community grief circle or retreat, you are welcome and invited here.

Individual Grief Coaching and Somatic Healing in Portland, Oregon and Online

Honoring the Language of Your Body and Spirit

Grief is a landscape that rewrites who we are. Whether you are moving through the tender terrain of pregnancy or child loss, weathering a profound life transition, working to heal ancestral trauma, navigating the daily challenges of co-parenting, or looking for space to be with the immense uncertainty and sorrows of the world, this sacred space is intentionally co-created for you.

True integration cannot happen in the mind alone. Loss alters our physical bodies, impacting focus, memory, and energy. Through an integrative approach to somatic grief care, we work together to support your nervous system to soften, thaw, and find reliable ways for continued resourcing and strength.

Our individual containers may weave together:

  • One-to-one grief coaching informed by somatic experiencing and parts work that is tailored to your unique emotional timeline.

  • Somatic grief work and restorative energy practices to release stored trauma in your own timing.

  • Personalized ritual design and altar work to honor what you are grieving and what you are longing for.

  • Holistic spiritual care to support you now and in the future.

Community Grief Rituals, Circles, & Healing Retreats

Moving from Isolation to Belonging, Together

We live in a culture that often asks us to hide our pain. It is time for a collective shift. True resilience is built when we gather, re-imagining how to belong to ourselves and each other through our shared sorrows.

Through immersive community grief rituals, monthly wailing ceremonies, and intimate grief healing retreats on the stunning Oregon Coast and in Portland, Oregon, we practice the ancient art of village-making. Here, your sorrow is not a burden, it is what lives on, and it is proof of your deep love for this world.

  • Monthly Portland Wailing Ceremonies: Safe, localized containers for somatic release and healing in community.

  • Monthly Portland Grief Circle for Co-Parenting : Specialized circles to be together in the daily grief of parenting in a way we never imagined having to.

  • Monthly Virtual Grief Circle for Healing Practitioners: Online grief ritual space for those who take care of others (therapists, nurses, doctors, healers, and more).

  • Annual Grief Integration Retreat on the Oregon Coast: Multi-day nature-immersion integration experiences.

Grief Training & Space Holding Mentorship for Therapists and Practitioners

Deepening Your Capacity to Meet the Depths of Loss

When profound loss visits your clients, it inevitably echoes behind your own closed doors. To hold steady through their darkest hours, you must be powerfully resourced within your own practices.

I partner with dedicated therapists, end-of-life doulas, medical professionals, coaches, and caregivers to cultivate deep grief literacy and expand their capacity for the type of space-holding that changes lives. Combining my background in somatic healing and grief coaching with experience strategy and meaningful marketing, I help heart-centered practitioners build and sustain aligned, resilient healing businesses.

  • Grief literacy training and practice.

  • Grief ritual facilitation training for practitioners.

  • Clinical consultations for navigating complex client loss containers.

  • Authentic business development strategies for modern holistic workers.

To grieve the world is to love her deeply. We can’t stay numb and call it strength. We can’t look away and call it peace. Grief is the price of our aliveness — the proof that we still feel.. that we still care. In For the Griever,

If you’ve ever felt foggy, forgetful, or like your brain just stopped working after loss — there’s a reason. Studies show that grief affects the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for focus, memory, and decision-m

Ouch. The world is a lot right now. And yet, we must keep moving in our daily rhythms. We must still invite and welcome joy and connection into our lives even as war and injustice still unfolds. We must sit seriously with the suffering and invite
