Grief is something we’re taught to hide deep inside. To carry quietly alone. To move on from quickly. But what if grief wasn’t something to “get over”? What if it was something to honour, to witness and to grow with?
I’m Hannah Darby GMBPsP SMACCPH, a Holistic Healer and Grief Therapist, and the founder of the Safe to Grieve Movement and H.E.A.L method. I hold a heart-led healing space for people who feel lost in their grief, overwhelmed by their emotions, or unsure how to move forward after life has changed.
My work is rooted in my own lived experience alongside my professional knowledge. I’ve waded through the depths of the sea of grief: losing my father at 13, living with ME/CFS, surviving a car accident… I have navigated the loss of identity, health, and purpose along the way. For years, I carried unspoken pain inside my heart. Unsure where to place it, who would understand it, or how to release it. If this sounds like you I invite you to read on.
It wasn’t until I found healing modalities like Reiki and HeartHealing™
that I began to feel safe in my own body and able to express my emotions again. That’s when I knew I wanted to help others find that same peace. I hold a space for people the way I once wished someone had held space for me.
I help clients of all backgrounds process not only the grief of losing a loved one but the grief of lost futures, lost identities, and lost versions of themselves. Any loss that was important to, any loss that caused grief to arise.
Here’s what I’ve learned: grief isn’t just about death
It’s about the aching heart after trauma.
It’s about the version of you that disappeared after a diagnosis.
It’s about the life you imagined versus the one that actually happened.
That grief deserves to be witnessed, with care and compassion, never with judgment.
Through 1:1 grief sessions, group workshops, energy healing and HeartHealing™ therapy, I guide my clients through a process of coming home to themselves. Of reconnecting with who they are now, while holding a sacred space for who or what they’ve lost.
What makes my approach different is that it’s not about clinical diagnosis or performance. It’s about compassion, courage, and emotional safety. Whether you’re grieving someone, something, or a version of yourself, my goal is to help you feel witnessed. To feel seen, to feel heard, and to be gently supported.
Many of my clients say similar things like:
“I finally feel like someone understands.”
“I never knew it was okay to grieve this.”
“I didn’t know healing could feel this safe.”
That’s the power of being allowed to grieve openly.
If you’re carrying invisible grief, know this:
You are not broken.
You are not too much.
And you don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you’re ready for a healing session, a gentle journaling guide, or simply want to receive comforting words in your inbox, you are welcome here.
This is more than a business… It's a movement.
And this is your invitation to begin again.
Because grief doesn’t mean the end of your story. It means the beginning of a new chapter.
