ANIMAL CHAPLAINCY & GRIEF WORK

Honoring the bond between animals and the people who love them.‍ ‍

Animal Chaplaincy is a way of being with animals and the people who love them that honors them, individually and collectively. It is presence without agenda, care without rush, and witness without judgment.

Jess is ordained by the Compassion Consortium and has been a practicing, professional Animal Chaplain for two years. Her work is rooted in the belief that the grief we feel for our animal companions is real, profound, and deserving of the same care and reverence we extend to any loss.

For Soulful and Sensitive Humans

For those who move through a world where animals aren't always treated as the beings they are, and feel that acutely. You're not alone, and this is a real thing to grieve and navigate. I am in the process of obtaining my coaching certification through the International Coaching Federation, and what I am and would be doing is what I would call spiritual companioning. I would meet you where you are and hold the space for your experience with full presence and an honoring of your agency and autonomy in making meaning and choices in your world.
