Women Wise is proud to share we will be offering a monthly grief support group for our clients with an amazing, spiritual healer, Ms. Naila Francis, that utilizes community grief tending and rituals. We are so excited to work with her!.

We all have grief in our lives whether we realize it or not; grief related to losing a family member, spouse, partner, relationship,  job, pet & yes even political and societal changes, related to climate change and in particular, the  diminishment and removal of many of womens' fundamental personal and political rights.

We will explore our relationship with grief with Naila Francis of "This Hallowed Wilderness" through monthly community grief tending and rituals here at Women Wise Holistic Healthcare and Wellness.

Naila Francis is a certified grief coach and death midwife, an interfaith minister and a writer/poet. She has also completed Francis Weller’s Grief Ritual Leadership Training. Through her practice This Hallowed Wilderness, she offers one-on-one coaching, workshops, community grief tending and rituals with a focus on holistic, heart-centered care and support. Her work is often informed by her love of poetry, nature, and spiritual practice. Naila is also a co-founder of Salt Trails, a Philadelphia collective holding space for grief through community rituals, and a recipient of a Leeway Foundation Art + Change Grant. An ardent joy enthusiast, Naila believes in grieving well as a fundamental human skill that ultimately deepens our capacity for pleasure, connection and compassion.
