Grief as a Doorway for the Sensitive Heart:
A Gentle, Body-First Path Through Loss
A 6-WEEK LIVE SMALL GROUP JOURNEY
For the grief and anxiety you've been carrying,
whatever shape it takes.
Next Cohort Begins October 21st
Join Heidi Dellaire from Heal Your Story, The Shift Network & Love Wide Open.
Does any of this feel familiar?
Do you feel like the world is celebrating while you’re just trying to hold yourself together?
You're not alone in that. Here, you don't have to pretend.
Are you torn between honoring your grief and wanting to "be okay" for everyone else?
I used to be this person too.
Do you notice your body tightening, your chest heavy, or your energy fading when emotions rise?
That's your body holding what your heart hasn't had room to feel. That's where we begin.
Do you long for a gentle space where you can just breathe, rest, and not have to pretend?
All of that is possible. It's exactly what we'll create together.
Are you grieving something the world doesn't count as a loss? A marriage. Your health. A future you pictured. A parent who couldn't love you well.
Every loss counts here.
Do you catch yourself thinking, "I should be over this by now"?
Grief doesn't keep a schedule. There's no "should," only what's true for you.
Are you tired in a way sleep doesn't fix?
Grief often hides as exhaustion. We'll gently find where it's living.
Do you carry an old ache from childhood, for the love, safety, or care you never got?
That's grief too. We'll tend to that younger part of you with kindness.
This Is Your Invitation
...to STOP CARRYING IT alone,
to let your grief SOFTEN,
and to COME HOME
to yourself, gently.

Grief Is Bigger Than We Were Taught
Grief isn't only for the death of someone you love. It's also for the marriage that ended. The friend who drifted away. The health you used to have. The parent you needed and never got. The future you pictured and had to let go.
When these losses go unfelt, they don't disappear. They settle into your body. They show up as tension, exhaustion, anxiety, or a slow pulling away from life.
That doesn't mean something is wrong with you. It means something in you is asking to be seen.
From The Desk Of Heidi Dellaire
Gardiner, Maine
Dear sensitive heart,
For years, I carried grief I didn’t know I had. I kept going. I took care of everyone. I told myself I was fine. My body knew better. The tension, the exhaustion, the heaviness were all grief, waiting for a safe place to be felt.
When I finally gave it that place, something softened. Not all at once. Gently, over time.
I created this course for you if:
- You’ve experienced a loss of any kind, recent or long ago
- You feel drained, anxious, or numb and suspect grief is underneath it
- You soak up other people’s emotions and rarely tend to your own
- You’ve tried to think or talk your way through it, and it’s still there
- You’re ready for a gentle approach, not a quick fix
You don’t have to do this alone. I’d be honored to walk beside you.
With love,
Heidi
What We'll Explore, Week by Week
MODULE 1
Recognizing the Many Faces of Grief: Naming What You've Been Carrying
Grief doesn’t always look like tears. We’ll gently name what you’re carrying and find where it lives in your body.

- Recognize the hidden griefs sensitive people so often carry
- Notice how unfelt grief can show up as anxiety, numbness, or caring for everyone but yourself

- Experience a guided body scan to find where grief lives in you
- Use embodied writing to let your body speak
MODULE 2

Some losses never get a funeral. We’ll give the griefs no one saw a safe place to land.

- Experience an inner child visualization and a practice for listening with your heart
- Write your way into permission to grieve what you were never allowed to
MODULE 3
How Grief Lives in the Body: Listening, Softening & Letting It Move
Grief has a physical weight. You’ll learn to read your body’s signals with kindness and let tension soften, safely.

Living Forward With Grief: Finding Meaning, Reclaiming Joy & Building a Life That Still Feels Like Yours
Loss changes us. You’ll find meaning without rushing the pain, and make room for joy again.
- Find meaning in grief without skipping past the pain
- Work with the three threads of a healing story: what happened, what it cost you, and what is being revealed
- Release the belief that you must keep hurting to prove something mattered
- Let sorrow and joy, remembrance and possibility share the same space
- Create a simple, personal way to carry what matters forward
How We'll Work Together
Live Weekly Gatherings with Heidi
Dedicated Practices to Managing Grief and Loss
Over six weeks, I’ll guide you gently through your grief, starting in the body instead of the head.
We’ll use simple practices: breath, gentle movement, and body awareness. Embodied writing that lets your body speak. Rituals that honor what you’ve lost. And energy boundaries that help you stop absorbing what isn’t yours.
My work draws on years as a bodyworker, meditation teacher, trauma-informed somatic practitioner, and on my training as an End-of-Life Doula. Doula work taught me how to sit with life’s most tender endings without rushing or flinching. That’s the kind of presence you’ll find here.
Nothing is forced. You go at your own pace. And you won’t do it alone.

Client Testimonials
Your 6-week class was a wise investment in myself...
“Connecting with you and taking your 6-week class was a wise investment in myself. I think spending money on oneself is the greatest gift one can give themself. It is a gift to friends and family. What is more important than personal evolution from an emotional and spiritual perspective? You are one of the great gifts that I have received, Heidi.”
~ Barry S..
Every day, I hear and think of Heidi's words and guidance...
“When I started working with Heidi I had no idea that the following months were going to become what they did. From the beginning I felt that Heidi understood me. I looked forward to our calls and the insight, exercises and enlightenment that she provided. In her calm voice she would guide me through an exercise, or untangle all the thoughts that I rattled off. If I was in tears, I knew she was there for me, not judging, just holding space. When I was caught spinning in a situation, she understood what was happening and was able to bring me back to a place of calm and reason. It was her words and support that gave me strength to move through the situation and look back at it as a powerful lesson. Every day, I hear and think of Heidi’s words and guidance. She is more than a coach, she cares and connects with you. She is the person you want by your side to help make sense of things, to have guidance from, to share with. I am so grateful for Heidi, who she is and what she does. Thank you!”
~ Lynn C.
I went from chaos to calm...
“With Heidi’s guidance and understanding of my sensitivity, I went from chaos to calm, confident and patient in just 8 weeks.”
~ Carly C.
My heart isn’t heavy anymore...
“…I needed to feel better about myself. I was “stuck” in my head and my heart. Because of Heidi, I’m not anymore! My heart isn’t heavy anymore which in turn has transcended into a healthy mindset…”
~ Tim R.

Heidi Dellaire
Hi, I’m Heidi. I’m an Emotional Health Guide, bodyworker, Ayurvedic practitioner, meditation teacher, and End-of-Life Doula. I’m also a highly sensitive person who spent years carrying grief I didn’t know I had.
I left a corporate career when my body started breaking down under everything I’d been holding. In massage school, I finally felt it. The old grief. The fear. The years of putting myself last. When I made room to feel it, my body began to let go.
That’s what I want for you. Not to get over your grief. To finally have a safe place to feel it, so it can soften and move.
