About Me

I’m Brean—a grief worker, end-of-life doula, spiritual counselor, and addiction recovery coach. I serve as a guide for those navigating life’s thresholds. My work weaves together trauma healing, addiction recovery, shame resilience, death and dying care, ritual, and embodiment practices such as somatic exercises, emotional release, and yoga.

In 2015, I lost my brother, Jaron. He was 38. His death shattered me and sent me on a long, winding journey through grief, trauma, and deep healing. Now, having just turned 38 myself, I feel more called than ever to serve from the heart. I founded Onward and Outward LLC in his honor.

Onward and Outward exists to support individuals and communities in facing grief, death, and transformation with courage, presence, and reverence—through ritual, relationship, and peer-based healing practices.

I do this work in faith that we can learn to live well, love fully, and come back to ourselves.

Through years of personal transformation, addiction recovery, and sitting with death and loss, I’ve come to believe that unprocessed grief and anger underlie much of our pain and addiction. These emotions are not problems to be fixed—they are sacred companions in our becoming. I help people face and move through pain with presence, reconnect with their vitality, make peace with death, and transform their lives.

I offer:

• Grief circles and 1:1 coaching

• Addiction recovery coaching

• Sacred sexuality and intimacy coaching

• Spiritual counseling

• Custom rituals for healing

• Yoga, Reiki, and somatic healing facilitation

• Support for end-of-life planning

My practice is grounded in deep listening, intuitive presence, and a fierce belief in your ability to heal. I work at the edge—where life and death, loss and longing, shadow and desire all meet.

Whether you’re walking through sorrow, facing your death or the death of a loved one, struggling to heal an addiction, or seeking to reclaim your voice after trauma, I’m here to walk with you.

Let’s meet where you are—and go onward and outward, together.
