Pricing Packages
I offer your first consultation at $75 to learn more about your pet-loss needs. Then, hourly (55 minutes) fees are negotiated according to ability to pay. We can meet as often as seems useful in addressing your grief and bereavement needs. I want to support you in reviewing your pet's life and the circumstances of the death, as well as how to mourn in healthy ways that consider your personal grieving style.
In this package, I offer five (5) 55-minute meetings at a reduced price. This Body, Mind, and Spirit Package offers information about grieving and mourning a beloved pet. In this coaching opportunity, we consider your personal life with your pet, how and why your pet died, and your family's needs in mourning your pet. I supplement information about grief with mourning activities that engage your physical, cognitive, and spiritual self. Coaching includes practicing and discussing these activities together.
In a 55-minute hour, I support and coach your family (including willing children) about your pet's life and the circumstances surrounding the death. I individualize possible mourning activities, including a memorial service, for your family's particular needs.
