The Held Hour

A sacred 60 minutes for you and your grief to be witnessed, honoured, and held.

One hour of certified grief coaching. No fixing, no rushing — just space to be exactly where you are.

This is for you if

You're holding it together for everyone else, and haven't found space to grieve — whether that grief is for...

A much-loved person. Someone you had a complicated or estranged relationship with. Baby loss at any stage. Infertility. Pet loss. Anticipatory grief. A health diagnosis. A relationship or career ending. Grief at world events. Or any loss the world doesn't always make room for.

All grief is welcome here

I know what it's like…

  • When grief feels confusing and overwhelming — whether in the early weeds, or years down the path.

  • When you feel ungrounded, unsafe, unsteady — and unsure what you even need.

  • When life is already overflowing, and grief adds one more weight to carry.

  • The loneliness when you feel like there is no one in your world who really gets you and your grief. 

  • When you're juggling grief plus all the practical weight and admin that a loss brings.

What if scheduling one sacred hour could loosen that a little? Help you take a deep exhale, be witnessed in your truth, feel validated in your grief — and give you space to honour yourself and (if you wish to), the person or pet that you love.

In their words…

"This session with Tanya was a total game changer for me in terms of my journey with grief and loss.

It was not about fixing anything or providing a solution. It was about taking the time to honour your own feelings within a safe space to express them, alongside Tanya's expertise.

I left feeling incredibly light and genuinely uplifted."

What happens in our hour together

 
 

  • Warmest welcome: with space to bring a photo or memory of your loved one if you'd like.

  • Opening ritual: if you wish, we will light candles together and speak their name(s) as we honour them and you.

  • Micro grounding: Tailored to what your nervous system needs that day, and a tool that you’ll be able to take away with you.

  • The rest of the hour, is yours: to continue finding calm and safety, talk about any part of your grief, to do a ritual together, to let sadness, anger or guilt or grief be seen and felt. 

  • A closing ritual: we will reflect on what you’ve received in our hour together and anything that you are taking forwards, then we’ll honour you and your loved ones, before we blow out the candles and close the hour together.

Plus my Death on the Daily YouTube and podcast are packed with free resources including my Grief 101 episode, guided meditations, and guided grief rituals.

 
 

this is for you if:

  • You're holding it together for everyone else, and just need one hour where you don't have to.

  • You want to be witnessed exactly as you are, without anyone trying to fix you, rush you, or find the silver lining.

  • You want the support of both someone who is living grief everyday, and who is a certified grief coach and mentor.

  • You want to access simple understanding, tools and support for your grief.

this is not for you if:

  • You're looking for a structured, goal-directed coaching programme or support between sessions — that's what my 6 month programme, The Threshold, is for. This hour isn't building toward a big vision or plan; instead it’s here to hold you and support you in your grief.

  • You need clinical or therapeutic support to process the past and any trauma or a mental health condition. This is coaching, not therapy — I hold space for grief in the present and help you to navigate the forwards path with it.

I’m Tanya

I hold this space not only as a grief coach, but as a bereaved mother to our beautiful daughter, Ngākau Raiona.

I have journeyed through five profound deaths in four years, including the death of my daughter, an earlier miscarriage, and my three grandparents.

I know, from the inside, what it is to need somewhere safe to simply be held, witnessed and supported. It would be an honour to hold this space for you.

I am a trauma-informed IPHM and ACCPH certified Holistic Grief Coach, AC certified Transformational Coach, with additional training as an End of Life Doula, Mental Health First Aid and Holding Space for Loss Practitioner.

In their words…

“You have such a calm and compassionate presence.

You held space so beautifully for me. This was the most meaningful one to one grief support I’ve experienced since my partner’s and my grandmother’s death.

My heart feeling safe enough to open to the grief I’ve been carrying for so many years.”

faqs

  • Just click the link and you’ll be taken to the booking form, where you can grab your time and fill out a short question form. Just enough for me to hold your loved one's name (if you wish to share) and what you'd like from our time together before we meet.

    After booking you’ll receive a confirmation email with the zoom link for our session, plus I’ll send you an email reminder closer to the time. 

  • Yes, these sessions are here whenever you need (pending availability).

    I'd gently suggest at least a week between sessions to let each one settle.

  • Please only book sessions you're committed to attending. 

    Life and grief are unpredictable, and I understand that,  so you can reschedule to a new time any time up to 24 hours before, at no cost. Last-minute reschedules and no-shows often can't be filled, which affects my livelihood as a small business, so as much notice as possible is always appreciated. 

    Sessions are non-refundable. Rescheduling will move your session to a new time, it doesn't return your payment, and cancellations or no-shows inside the 24-hour window forfeit the session.

    If it's inside 24 hours because genuine illness or emergency has come up, please reach out anyway and I'll do my best to find you a new time. I can't extend this where there have been repeated late cancellations or reschedules.

  • If you change your mind, you can request a refund for 48 hours after booking, providing that you have booked more than 48 hours in advance of the session date.

    Sessions are non-refundable after this grace period, since your hour is held exclusively for you and I prepare based upon your booking questionnaire.

    But you can reschedule your session, with real flexibility given the nature of what we're working with.

    Please see the terms and conditions on booking for the full cancellation and rescheduling policy.

    If you would like to cancel within the cancellation period please email tanya@greeninthegrey.com.

  • This is a single hour of grief coaching, meeting you exactly as you are, whenever you need it. With the single session flexibility to book in as you would like.

    My 6-month coaching container is for those ready for deep transformation through my blend of grief, life and leadership coaching (as a double certified coach), plus marketing and strategic mentorship if that can support your vision.

    This 6 month container sees us meet bi-weekly, plus you get my high touch support via WhatsApp between sessions.

    Whereas for The Held Hour, you can of course always email across any questions (my inbox is always open), it doesn’t include the “coach in your pocket” WhatsApp support of my 6 month programme.

    But regardless, every minute that we sit together, my intention is always to make it a meaningful and powerful experience that centres you and your intention for coaching.

  • Wholeheartedly yes, every grief counts. If it's grief to you, it's grief to me and I will be ready to hold space for you. 

  • Therapy often works to process the past, including trauma, mental health conditions, or diving in deep to things that happened in the past.

    This is coaching: I hold space for your grief in the present, exactly as it is right now, and help you find your footing and to navigate this forwards path with grief a part of you.

    If you are currently working with a therapist or counsellor, check in with them before booking your grief coaching session. Sometimes coaching and therapy can work well together at the same time. But sometimes, it’s better to wait and do coaching after.

    As a IPHM and ACCPH certified Holistic Grief Coach, with additional training as an AC certified Transformational Coach - I will always maintain ethical boundaries of coaching.
