Learn more about Cami Thelander
With a unique, body-centered approach called Embodied Grief Support, Cami provides holistic healing for life’s deepest losses. Having lost her father to ALS at age 11 and her stepfather to cancer at 15, she intimately understands the profound impact and deep pain of grief on both mind and body. After struggling for years with the limitations of traditional treatments, she began her own healing journey, seeking alternative methods that finally provided the relief and resilience she needed.

About

Today, Cami offers Grief Coaching, Craniosacral Therapy (bodywork), Grief Yoga, custom essential oils, and mindfulness techniques to help clients confidently navigate life after loss. Her holistic approach leans into the body’s inherent wisdom, supporting wellness on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. By integrating body-centered practices and transformational grief coaching, Cami helps clients manage stress, rebuild emotional resilience, and discover effective coping tools for healthy grief processing. Her compassionate, embodied approach empowers clients to move within grief, restoring a sense of purpose, balance, and well-being that honors both loss and life.

In addition to her holistic healing services, Cami is an educator and Community Engagement Leader with the Confident Grief Coach School, where she trains and mentors others in holding safe, compassionate spaces for grief.  Cami’s work is grounded in extensive training, including End of Life Doula training with INELDA, Advanced Grief Coach Certification and B.R.E.A.T.H.E. Program Facilitator, and professional credentialing as an ACC-certified Life Coach through the International Coaching Federation. She is also a certified NLP and Timeline Therapy® Practitioner. By integrating these modalities with her Embodied Grief Support approach, Cami brings a deeply intuitive, body-centered lens to grief work—meeting people where they are and guiding them through healing with authenticity, care, and profound respect for both loss and life.

Reflections

As I was working with craniosacral therapy clients, I noticed that the people that were coming to me were processing grief (much like I had, when I was learning this modality). Out of a desire to learn how to emotionally support my clients in addition to the bodywork, I found The Confident Grief Coach School and knew this would be a powerful addition to my practice.

Training with the Confident Grief Coach School was surprisingly transformative for my own grief journey. Even though my losses happened many years ago, there are always more layers to explore, and this program stirred up some things within me that were asking for healing! I felt incredibly supported by the community and felt much more confident in myself to be able to move within my own grief with an abundance of tools and resources.

The B.R.E.A.T.H.E. model integrates beautifully into my work with craniosacral clients. It has been a wonderful addition to my toolbox as a holistic practitioner. I see the most transformation in my clients who undergo the full coaching program (following the B.R.E.A.T.H.E model), in addition to receiving craniosacral therapy. Of course coaching can be used on its own, and the same with bodywork, but to marry the two in a supportive program has worked wonders in my clients' lives. There are endless ways to take this coaching model for grief out into the world!

This program has prepared me to feel confident working with others in their most painful times of their life -- something that I could not have said without the support, guidance and training from the Confident Grief Coach School. I feel proud to be a professional in the grief and loss space, and have no doubt about the profound impact that grief coaching has in our communities. We need more people doing this work -- whether they choose to use it with friends and family, or as a business, the B.R.E.A.T.H.E. model changes lives for the better.

What guides me most in my coaching approach is that I want to see and hear my clients’ needs each time we meet. There are no judgements, no conclusions, only a safe and fluid space. The hardest part in getting unstuck is the first step! The client is the player in their story. They set the direction and goals. It is hard to learn to feel and trust yourself again when the world is full of so many opinions. Assisting them in achieving their needs and goals at their pace is so special. I was giving that gift, during varies times of grief in my life. Paying it forward in some small way feels right.

Learn more about Cindy Upton
Cynthia (Cindy) Upton is a Certified Grief Coach and B.R.E.A.T.H.E. Program Facilitator trained through the Confident Grief Coach Program and credentialed through the International Coaching Federation as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC).

About

Cindy evolved into the grief coaching journey through personal life-loss experiences. Having met grief at an early age through the death of a teenage brother, Cindy learned the pain of family grief. As an adult, she experienced the heartache of becoming an adult orphan, navigated the loss of family through divorce, and sought new purpose in response to the solitude of an empty nest.

Her heart intention became to partner with individuals and families adrift in grief but ready to re-orient to a new reality. The tools through the Confident Grief Coach Program help individuals learn to B.R.E.A.T.H.E and find a way to H.O.P.E. on their journey.
