"You are not alone when its time to say good bye"

SHARING THE TIME YOU HAD TOGETHER

friends for ever

Celebrating

Your special companion

When a companion animal dies part of us also dies.  They were part of our lives, but we were the whole of theirs.

Often people do not understand the close relationship you had with your pet.  The unconditional love you shared with each other.

Celebrating your bond with ceremony is a great way to acknowledge your relationship and to help release some of the pain of loss.

Grief Coaching

Walking along side in the wilderness

We all need support at times. Being able to reach out for help is a strength and grief coaching offers you a save space to explore your feelings and ideas.

You may want someone to talk to openly about your feelings without the fear of judgement. Whether your relationship has changed through a death or having to rehome.  Your feelings can be a whirling maelstrom that few understand.

Grief coaching helps you with this and helps you grow – intellectually, physically and spiritually.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Planning your reunion with your special companion

Sadly most human crematoriums and cemeteries do not all the burial or scattering of pet ashes along with the caregivers.  This is because the law relating to ashes of an animal.

However, things are changing and few places are offering this service.  Planning is needed to ensure that you can once again be reunited with your animal companions.

MENTAL RELAXATION

In today’s fast-paced world you are often caught up with planning for the future or thinking of the past. When you are grieving you need time to process the change.  Being fully present can help you make sense of the changed world and help your mental and emotional wellbeing.

A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Being able to express your thoughts and feeling without interruption is a powerful way to access your own resources. When working together, I act as your emotional partner to help you access and understand your feelings.

RELATIONSHIP HARMONY

Grieving can feel like walking alone in a dark wood.  Lost and afraid.  I will walk alongside you on this journey that you didn’t want to take.  Helping you to keep the love alive in your heart while allowing them to run free.

MEETING WITH YOU

I can meet with you in person at a number of locations or via a secure video call, which we can record if you’d like to watch the session at a later date.

I’m Rowan, a grief and bereavement coach with a practice strongly rooted in nature. I help you to connect with their feelings, their purpose and their deeper selves, enabling them to transform their lives. You can read more about my story here.

Nature is resilient and flexible. It can show you how you too can build and adapt strong, healthy relationships with yourself and your loved ones. Simply walking in nature – especially woodland – has shown to have beneficial effects on people’s mental wellbeing.

I help people to get the results they want by helping them discover the best of themselves.  Coaching isn’t about fixing you as you are not broken.  I help you through a developmental and discovery based process just as sport coaches help sports people to discover your inherent talents. Have a look at what they say about their experiences working with me.

For every coaching session I donate to the Woodland Trust to support their Big Climate Fightback helping to capture carbon from the atmosphere and improve the environment.

Did you know that a £15 donation can plant up to 10 trees!

READ TESTIMONIALS

Navigating Nana's passing was a tough journey, and the funeral played a crucial part. Rowan, from beginning to end, was outstanding. His empathy, compassion, and understanding were evident, conducting the service with remarkable decorum, passion, and love for our beloved Nana.Balancing professionalism with kindness, Rowan approached everything with sensitivity and efficiency, never imposing pity upon us. The service felt more like a celebration of Nana's life than a traditional funeral, turning the farewell into a cherished process rather than a moment of mourning.

If you need help, don't hesitate in reaching out to Rowan . He helped me at a time of decision making in my life and his wisdom,  kindness, clarity and coaching assisted me to happily and confidently move on. I am so thankful to Rowan and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

After spending some time thinking about support to gain confidence and clarify with a deeper focus on things I came across Rowans Web site. I was drawn in by the sensitive nature of the details and had confirmation of this through an exchange of emails. Having a trial session is such an advantage and immediately Rowan took care of me even before the sessions were started. I look forward to continuing on my journey in further sessions.

Working with Rowan has been an amazingly valuable experience. He kept me accountable on my goals every week, offered me some tools to help me clarify some things, overall I had many aha moments while having him as a coach. He is very good at reflecting back to you everything you say in a manner that helps you see yourself and your situation from a new angle. He also supported me through some challenging financial times, which I'll always treasure. Thank you, Rowan!
