Why I Created Grief & Beyond
Grief entered my life without warning.
At 3am, I received news that someone close to my heart had been lost in a tragic accident. In that moment, the ground beneath me gave way – taking with it my sense of stability, my beliefs and the quiet certainties I had built my life around.
What followed was one of the most disorienting periods of my life. And yet, it was yoga that helped me stay present through it – not by taking the pain away, but by creating space for stillness alongside the sorrow.
That experience led me deeper – into training under David Kessler as a Grief Educator and in Grief Yoga under Paul Denniston.
It also opened my eyes to something broader: that some of the most powerful forms of grief are not the ones we easily recognise. They are often the ones we push past – living quietly in identity shifts, life disruptions and inner experiences that go unspoken.
Before this work, I spent over fifteen years in advertising and digital marketing. A clear calling eventually led me to Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, where I trained and practiced as a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist for over a decade.
I understood grief professionally. But living it changed everything.
Grief & Beyond was born from this journey – from what I learned through training and from what I lived.
It is a space I offer to others, so they don’t have to go through it alone.
