Suicide, illness, and miscarriage — all variations of how death can greet us, initiating a pilgrimage of grief.
Death arrives without a knock, claiming life whether we are ready or not…
Today, I am joined by a dear friend who has walked alongside death for most of her life with profound intimacy. From navigating the suicide of her mother at age 4, then the death of her step-mother a few years after; she was touched and ultimately forever changed by being thrusted into a life of grief. In her adulthood she once again was greeted by death when her ex-fiancé passed suddenly also from suicide following the miscarriage of her daughter, Knova.
Amber Wolf Moon, a Somatic Relational Therapist & Ceremonial Embodiment Facilitator, shares her journey alongside death and how this has influenced her to support others heal while walking with their grief in an intentional way.
Her work now is rooted in an empathic approach to healing, mental health, grief, and spiritual work.
Throughout this recording Amber will share various tools and techniques on how to intentionally work with your grief from a somatic therapy perspective.
This conversation feels more like a ceremony than a podcast —
A prayer in the form of 2 sisters in a space of sacred storytelling and dialogue.
Light a candle, brew some tea, set an altar, grab your journal, and burn some sacred herbs; you are welcomed into a space of deep feeling, learning, and prayer.
Deep gratitude to Amber for showing up with such vulnerability and beauty as she continues to walk the path of service. Your humanness is inspiring.
You can learn more about Ambers offerings with the descriptions below and connect with her through her website.

“Amber Wolf Moon is an Evolutionary Embodiment Guide, Somatic Relational Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Yoga Teacher, and Sacred Ceremony Facilitator. She has supported beings of all walks of life world wide and brings her sacred soul service wherever she goes as that is her deepest devotion. Her work was initiated through the spirit of her Mother who passed from suicide when she was 4. Her mother chose to leave from a deep yearning to belong and Amber's mission is to create safe spaces, circles, and 1-1 containers so the ones who work with her can feel an embodied sense of belonging to place, to self, and to loved ones. Her 1-1 sessions online and in-person are greatly influenced by her Somatic Therapy studies, spiritual teachings, and deep attunement to creating a space where all her clients can feel safe to unwind the depth of their wholeness.
Grounded Wholeness Somatic Therapy being her business name was chosen as that is the feedback she continuously got from all clients leaving each session feeling more grounded, embodied, relaxed, and connected. Amber has a fine skill of being able to hold the unbearable parts, experiences, and traumas that would be too much for a client to hold on their own. She gives her clients the tools to learn to be more embodied, aware of the nervous system response/reaction and have immense amount of resources to call upon when challenges and discomfort occurs. Her focus is less on talk therapy and going into the past, and more on the felt sense experience of the body in present time awareness; cultivating a sense of equanimity to meet all parts of who we are with curiosity, compassion, and presence. She is passionate about integration and always offers tools that feel easeful to apply into everyday life.”
You can work with Amber online or in person. She currently accepting new clients for Somatic Relational Therapy, Couples Therapy, & Womb Journeys.
