Meet Ariel

I am Ariel, and like you, I have been fundamentally changed by grief.

When I went through my own loss journey, I realized that the medical world provides the procedures, but it rarely provides the holding. I saw the gap between the clinical "options" and the maternal "heartbreak." I realized that women navigating TFMR, pregnancy after loss, and the dual-reality of grieving motherhood don't just need "time"—they need a witness. They need a safe place.

My Philosophy

I don’t believe in "getting over it" or "finding closure." I believe in integration. Through my platform, @changedbygrief, I have spent two years building a community where the "unspeakable" is spoken daily. My coaching practice is the professional extension of that mission: creating a high-level, trauma-informed sanctuary where your baby’s legacy is honored and your survival is prioritized.

Why Work With Me?

I bring a unique blend of lived experience and professional coaching framework to our sessions. I understand the "scanxiety" of a 20-week appointment. I know the heavy silence of a nursery that isn't full. And I know that TFMR is an act of profound, sacrificial love.

I am here to help you clear the "trauma fog," navigate the impossible decisions, and eventually, find a way to thrive in the life that grief reshaped.

What Is TFMR?

TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons) is a deeply personal and often complex decision made after a medical diagnosis during pregnancy, such as Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) or other fetal or maternal health conditions.

Many people searching for:

  • TFMR support

  • Help after termination for medical reasons

  • Grief after TFMR

  • TFMR counseling

…are looking for someone who understands.

This is that space.
