What Is Grief and Why Healing Matters
Grief is the deep pain experienced after losing someone or something deeply loved. It isn’t just sadness, it can feel like heaviness, anger, confusion, numbness, or even guilt. Grief impacts the mind, body, spirit, and relationships. And while it’s a natural response to loss, many people struggle to move forward from it.
When left unhealed, grief can quietly build walls around the heart. It can rob individuals of their ability to feel joy, trust others, or fully live again. They may be functioning, but not truly free.
But here’s the truth:
No one has to carry the weight of grief forever. Healing is possible. Peace is possible. Every woman deserves to breathe again, to feel God holding her heart, and to be gently guided forward.
Through her work, Portia helps women lay down what’s been heavy, so they can heal layer by layer, grow stronger in their faith, and rediscover their divine purpose after loss.

What’s the Difference Between Grief Counseling and Grief Coaching?
Grief is layered, and true healing often requires more than one kind of support. Many women who enter The Divine Rebuild coaching program have already worked with licensed therapists or grief counselors. That’s a beautiful thing, because therapy plays a powerful role in helping individuals process what happened. But sometimes, after counseling ends, something still feels…missing.
That’s where the distinction becomes clear:
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling is led by licensed mental health professionals trained to help individuals process trauma, navigate emotional distress, and manage mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. The focus is often clinical and reflective, providing a safe space to explore painful emotions, stabilize the mind, and unpack layers of loss. It’s deeply necessary. And for many, it’s the first vital step.
Grief Coaching
Grief coaching, on the other hand, is a forward-moving process. Portia is not a licensed therapist, she doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, she guides women through the rebuilding process after grief. Her coaching is active, transformational, and rooted in both faith and practical tools.
Clients receive weekly action steps, journaling exercises, personalized support, and spiritual reflection to help them heal from the inside out. This isn’t just about talking through pain. It’s about doing the deep work, layer by layer, prayer by prayer, step by step.
If therapy helped someone release the weight of their grief, coaching helps them lay it down and walk forward with intention.
Can You Do Both?
Absolutely. Many women do. Some work with a counselor and coach simultaneously. Others begin coaching after completing therapy. Counseling helps you survive the loss. Coaching helps you step into your new life.
If you’re ready for the next level of healing, Portia is here to walk with you. Book a free call today!

How Her Process Works
3 Simple Steps to Your Healing Journey
1
Discovery & Clarity
What to Expect:
In the first session, Portia begins by uncovering each woman’s unique story and the emotional burdens she’s been carrying. This discovery phase is designed to understand where she is in her grief journey and to identify the specific challenges she’s facing. Together, they work to gain clarity on her deepest struggles and the emotional weight holding her back.
Why It’s Different:
Unlike many grief coaches who offer a one-size-fits-all approach, Portia takes the time to truly understand each individual, her grief, her struggles, and her spiritual journey.

Healing & Transformation
What to Expect:
At the core of the coaching experience, clients are guided deeper into their healing journey. Portia provides access to personalized tools, journaling prompts, scripture reflections, and prayer guidance, each designed to help women work through grief intentionally. The focus is on building both emotional and spiritual resilience. As women begin to release old emotional baggage, they start to feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to their faith and God’s promises. It’s in this phase that many begin to rediscover the joy and peace that grief once tried to steal.
Why It’s Different:
Portia blends spiritual healing with practical tools, ensuring the journey isn’t just about “getting through” grief, it’s about experiencing true transformation. By combining faith-based support with proven healing strategies, she creates a holistic pathway that nurtures both heart and soul. Clients don’t just process grief; they learn to transform it into growth, healing, and renewed purpose.

Together, they explore each woman’s God-given purpose, identity, and the actionable steps needed to move forward. By the end of the coaching journey, clients walk away with a personalized roadmap to continue healing independently and to live with renewed purpose. They leave feeling empowered, grounded in faith, and ready to embrace the future with strength and clarity.
Why It’s Different:
Portia’s coaching goes beyond healing, it’s about empowerment and growth. Her approach helps women move from grief to purpose, equipping them with the tools, strategies, and spiritual insight needed to thrive long after the sessions end. Her clients don’t just survive their grief; they step into a thriving, purpose-filled life.
