This week on The Alchemical Path, I sit down with Liz Hides, a Wholistic Grief and Loss Specialist, Certified Thanatologist, Meditation Teacher, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Reiki Master whose work brings compassion, depth, and sacredness to the grieving process.

Liz approaches grief as an energetic experience — something that moves through the mind, body, spirit, and environment. She helps clients understand their emotions as the body’s response to loss, and supports them in clearing the heavy or stuck energy around their grief stories.

In this conversation, we explore:
💫 Grief as a mind-body-spirit process
💫 How to shift and release the energetic weight of loss
💫 The power of mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and reiki in grief healing
💫 Navigating sudden or traumatic loss with compassion
💫 The resilience and transformation that become possible when we honor grief

Liz also shares her offerings:
✨ Surviving Guilt After a Loss
✨ Caring for Your Grief Through the Holiday Season

Liz’s wisdom is a reminder that grief is not something to “get over” — it’s something we learn to move with, honor, and integrate as part of our human experience.
