Welcome

I’m so glad you’re here. Truly.

If you’ve found your way to this space, it’s likely because your heart has known a grief that no parent should ever have to carry. I want you to know, right from the beginning, that you are not alone. For more than a decade I’ve guided families through the first fragile steps after loss, and witnessed the extraordinary courage it takes to keep going when your world has changed forever.

I’m honoured to walk alongside you.

My Coaching

My coaching practice, Rise Beyond Grief, was born from my own personal experience and that deep calling to support women who are navigating pregnancy and infant loss. I work in a trauma-informed, holistic way, honouring the body, mind, and spirit because I know that grief touches every part of us.

Through gentle guidance, grounded tools, and compassionate space-holding, I help you move from the heaviness of grief toward moments of light, acceptance, and reconnection with yourself.

I don’t offer quick fixes or false promises. What I offer is companionship, understanding, and a safe place to breathe again. Together, we explore your grief at your pace, honour your baby’s story, and rebuild a life where hope feels possible again.

If you’re here looking for support, I want you to know this healing is not about forgetting it’s about finding a way to live with love and loss intertwined. And you don’t have to do that alone.

"Working with Annika was the first time I felt truly seen in my grief. After losing my baby, I didn’t know how to begin navigating the darkness, but her gentle presence, compassion, and complete understanding held me together when I felt like I was falling apart. She created a safe space where I could share without fear or shame, she helped me understand my emotions and find tiny sparks of hope again."

Sophie, UK

"Annika didn’t just listen; she guided me with practical tools that actually worked. I felt stuck for so long after my pregnancy loss, unable to move forward, but her structured support and the journaling practices helped me reconnect with myself. She has a unique ability to explain grief in a way that makes everything less overwhelming. I learned how to work with my emotions instead of fighting them, and I now feel more grounded, centred, and able to move towards acceptance. Annika’s expertise and calm, reassuring approach made all the difference."

Jane, UK

"Rise Beyond Grief coaching has made such a difference for Ebony after the devastating loss of our baby girl. For months she was lost in her grief and I didn't know how to reach her or how best to help, I felt so useless, like I was losing her too. I don't feel that way anymore, our relationship is stronger because Ebony and I can finally talk about our feelings and talk about our little girl".

Mike, UK
