Taking the Holistic Grief Coaching Certification with Kayleigh, Good Grief UK, has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I’ve taken many certifications before, but truly—none compare to the depth, the heart, and the quality of this program.

The content itself is exceptional—so well-organized, thoughtful, and elevated beyond anything I expected. From the live weekly sessions to the recordings, the hands-on somatic practices to the peer coaching hours, every piece was designed to ensure we didn’t just learn the material but embodied it. Kayleigh poured her whole heart into this work, and it shows in every detail. She is approachable, compassionate, and endlessly generous with her time, wisdom, and energy.

What made this certification so unique is how holistic it truly is. We weren’t just handed tools—we practiced them, lived them, and supported each other through them. The way Kayleigh ensured our mental health was cared for as we learned to care for others was something I’ve never seen in another program. She gave us a new language, new practices, and a deep respect for the sacredness of grief.

The community she created was powerful beyond words. Our cohort became a circle of trust, vulnerability, and shared respect. We told stories, held space for each other’s grief, and grew together in a way that was healing as much as it was educational.

Her team was just as responsive and supportive as she was. Every step of the journey, I felt held, guided, and encouraged.

This isn’t just a certification—it’s an immersion into a whole new way of being with grief and with people.

Kayleigh gives, gives, and gives again, and somehow continues to amaze me with her generosity and brilliance. If you are considering this certification, know this: you will not be disappointed.

By the end, you won’t just complete a certification — you’ll come out as a new version of you.

I experienced numerous losses in my 20s including my dad. During and after each loss I was affected by grief in many different ways that I wasn’t prepared for. As I didn’t feel like I had the right space to process and work through what happened to me I locked it away and struggled to express my feelings. In my mid 30s I started to reconnect to my body and my somatic intelligence and I knew that there was something in that and that there were parts of my grief which were unexpressed and unprocessed. I had begun slowly and gently working with these parts of myself and also realising how closed off society was from talking about grief, loss and bereavement and how taboo these subjects where. When I saw the Holistic Grief Coaching Certification I knew that I wanted to join immediately. I never resonated with any more traditional talking therapy/counselling methods and I knew that grief needed a more holistic and somatic approach and everything about the course deeply resonated with me and my desire to help others in their grief.

The training was amazing and covered so much. I particularly enjoyed expanding my knowledge of the nervous system in the context of grief and learning the vast range of somatic tools that Kayleigh shared which can be used to help process grief. I was fortunate enough to be paired with a fantastic peer coach and I also really loved our sessions each week where we got to hold space and coach each other. It was fantastic to begin coaching and practicing right from day 1.

I already had some somatic experience from previous trainings but I really felt like this training allowed me to expand my knowledge so much. I loved the trauma informed nature of the course and the easy does it approach. I feel I’ve really grown as a coach and my coaching skills and ability to hold space have expanded. I’ve also loved learning how to incorporate mentorship with coaching. I’ve also felt a shit in my own grief journey and I feel like I’ve been able to uncover and meet some of the depths of it that I still didn’t understand previously and hadn’t faced.

If anyone is considering this program I would wholeheartedly encourage them to step in to this work. Kayleigh is an amazing teacher with a vast amount of knowledge. There is so much shared in the course that I felt like I walked away with a deeply rounded view of this modality, coaching more generally and the needs of grievers. This is such important work and there are so many people out there that need it. The holistic approach to grief its truly one of the most life changing things I have encountered.

Thank you so much Kayleigh once again for everything and for sharing this work! You are amazing!
