Shining a Light
on Grief…
Walking beside you as you grieve,
guiding you through the darkness towards the light, and helping you find hope in the heart of grief.
Holistic Grief Wellness is a leading provider of specialised holistic support, guidance, and wellness dedicated exclusively to helping individuals and groups through grief, loss and bereavement.
A sacred space to tend to your grief.
A safe and supportive environment to explore, process, shift, and move through your grief.
A space for understanding, connection, and healing.
Compassionate and authentic guidance through your grieving process and healing journey.
A holistic approach that truly allows you to tap into your grief physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, and process your loss one-on-one and within a collective grief community that understands your pain and heartbreak… where you feel a sense of belonging.
Support in rebuilding your life, and empowerment for renewal and transformation.
I wish to acknowledge the grief and loss that has brought you here and reassure you that you do not have to navigate this journey alone.
Holistic Grief Wellness was founded following my own deep grief and loss, combined with my background in holistic wellness, to offer compassionate and heart-centred holistic grief support. The intention was to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can openly explore, process, and move through your grief.
I understand that grief is deeply personal, and no two experiences of loss are ever the same. Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and all-consuming at times, impacting every aspect of your life… physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. My role is not to fix your grief or make it go away, but to walk alongside you with compassion, understanding, authenticity, and gentle guidance as you learn to carry and process your loss.
I am passionate about supporting others through grief, and my work is grounded in a holistic approach that recognises the deep connection between the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Grief can be experienced and held within each part of our being, often showing up in different ways. By creating space to acknowledge, support, and process grief within each of these areas, it can help soften the intensity of grief, support emotional healing, and nurture a greater sense of grounding, connection, and self-compassion throughout your journey.
I offer a range of services tailored to support individuals and groups through grief. Whether you are seeking one-on-one support or connection within a community of others who understand grief, my intention is for you to feel supported, seen, heard, and held.
Holistic Grief Wellness exists to provide a sacred space where your grief is welcome, your story can be shared openly, and you are supported in finding your own path forward, while continuing to honour the love and connection that remains.
From my heart to yours,
Melissa Lindsay

“The Rise Through Grief Retreat is a healing and nourishing balm for grieving hearts. Providing enough structure to be held and gently guided to safely feel everything that comes up, and enough space and free time to quietly process it all. This retreat is a beautifully curated immersive experience into a deeply emotional space, that is skillfully, gently and compassionately held and facilitated by some incredibly special women. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to tend to their grief, you'll be in very safe hands.”

“Melissa's grief yoga program was a lifeline for me. I was in the early stages of grief and was feeling lost and disconnected from my body and spirit. This course gently guided me back home, using breath, movement and a compassionate group of people to help process my pain. With each practice, I felt a weight lift and a sense of peace and clarity emerge. I'm so grateful to have done this course."

“Attending Mel’s “Mindful Grieving Yoga Therapy Group” was such a heart healing process that anyone dealing with grief should do. Mel’s calming voice throughout the sessions and understanding of what you are going through is so supportive. It’s a very safe place to share your pain/heartache and experiences – good and bad. The meditation and yoga practice Mel uses is very helpful and a very important tool that has helped afterwards with this journey. I still look at my notes of where I am now, and where I’d like to be is very encouraging. Thank you, Mel, for helping me through my grief."

"I found the Mindful Grieving course to be incredibly beneficial while learning to come to terms with my loss. The sessions were a circuit breaker for my daily stress levels and gave me a chance to feel understood and less alone in my grief and to experience the calmness yoga and meditation can bring to my healing. Mel was a very calming presence and created a peaceful, gentle and safe space for us to share and heal together. I felt a closeness with the group members in our shared grief that helped me enormously. If you feel alone and lost in your loss, I highly recommend the Mindful Grieving course. It has been a special part of my healing journey."
