Episode Details

"Love Untethered: How To Live When Your Child Dies" is a memoir about Vanessa's grief for the loss of her son Harry. 

By sharing her personal experience, Vanessa hopes to enable others who have gone through a similar loss to feel less isolated in their grief. In the second part of her book, Vanessa offers some ideas for supporting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing using her experience, not just as a bereaved mother but as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and now holistic grief coach and educator.

Many people who have experienced a tragedy find it facilitates a new belief in life after death. This is discussed in the book along with the physical aspects of grief and trauma that can be significant and far-reaching but are often overlooked.

Vanessa is from London in the UK. She's a holistic grief coach, certified grief educator, nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach, and author. She wrote 'Love Untethered: how to live when your child dies' in part to make sense of her profound grief and trauma, as well as in the hope that she can help others who have experienced a significant bereavement.

Vanessa believes life-changing loss can affect us on multiple levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As well as being a memoir, ‘Love Untethered’ offers advice to those grieving based on Vanessa’s personal and professional experience.

Her second book ‘Supporting Your Grieving Client: a guide for wellness practitioners’ will be published in February 2023, and she is currently writing her third book, which will be a sequel to ‘Love Untethered’.

You've been listening. You're doing the work. But there's still this feeling that you're circling the same place.

Maybe you've thought about working with me one-on-one. Maybe something's held you back. 

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.

All of it, pay what you want. You decide what it's worth. Nobody gets turned away because of money.
