Hi, I'm Paige.

And this is my soul-kitty Squiggles, who passed away in 2023.

After taking time to grieve this once-in-a-lifetime relationship, I began supporting people through the kind grief that the world doesn’t seem to understand: the loss of a soulmate pet. Since then it’s become some of my most meaningful work: developing resources, writing my book, and building a community of animal lovers who understand.

Coaching is the most personal version of that work.

If you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. It means you lost someone you love very much. And it makes sense.

It’s a privilege to get to know your pet and help you honor the bond you shared.

What is pet loss coaching?

Pet loss coaching is one-on-one grief support focused on your bond with your pet and your life after the loss — processing the goodbye, releasing guilt, handling the moments that blindside you, and when you’re ready finding ways to celebrate them. Coaching isn’t psychotherapy, and I can work with grieving pet parents anywhere in the world, not just New York.

Anticipatory grief

Support while your pet is still here — quality-of-life decisions, saying goodbye well, and preparing your heart.

Fresh loss

The first days and weeks, when life feels surreal without them — grounding, self-care that actually fits grief, and someone to talk to.

Life after loss

Find other ways to create meaning in your life, understand your new identity, and answer questions like when/if you’re ready to love another animal.
