Grief coaching, somatic healing and community grief rituals in Portland, Oregon and online.
I am Alyssa Rose, a local grief coach, a licensed massage therapist (LMT #25025), and trauma-informed somatic release practitioner in Portland, Oregon.
If youโre looking to better support yourself or a loved one through loss and change, welcome. Grief is about death but thereโs 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 continually 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.

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.
Explore individual grief tendingWe 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.
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 in strategy and meaningful marketing, I help heart-centered practitioners build and sustain aligned, resilient healing businesses.
