hi, i'm micaela
personal​​​
I’m grateful to be here with you. Feeling the call to sit with loved ones in what is most challenging for them has been present since I was a young girl.
Since 2019 I have studied and apprenticed to grief & death intentionally. Over the last 6 years I dove into many trainings and experiences to deepen and sharpen my skills.
I apprenticed with Thérèse Chaveret & Laurence Cole for two years in a row in 2020/2021. In the trainings I experienced and learned how to hold Dagara Style grief ritual. You can learn more about the Dagara people here. I supported many grief rituals with my teachers and stepped into facilitation with them in November 2024 and was asked back to facilitate with them in August 2025.
​
In addition to studying, supporting and facilitating with my teachers I created a series with Jen George called Learning to Tend Grief, a three month container, in-person & online to facilitate building connection to grief. More information here.
We also created a container called Community Grief Lodge which is a 5 hour grief ritual held in North Bellingham. Learn more here.
In 2022 & 2025 I took two separate Death Doula training programs. Jen and I currently hold an event at a local funeral home called, Death: Conversations Around The Table. Inspired by death cafe, where we have a casual conversation about our curiosities, experiences,
fears and more around the topic of Death. Dates and times here.
Since 2024 I have been opening to 1:1 work. I have really loved facilitating group circles, and I have found it is equally important to have and offer 1:1 support. I received training through the Global Trauma Institute (woman and global majority owned) and became a certified
Trauma Care Coach in 2025.
​
I also became an IFS practitioner through the Stepping Stones Program in 2025.
These two modalities, paired with grief work are a powerful combination to support people
moving through challenging times. You can message me for more information at Internallywoven@gmail.com
My greatest joys:
Earth. My babies. My beloveds. Gardening. Harvesting plants. Making art. Making herbal medicine. Running. Community. Dance. Yoga. Movement. Friends. Family. Time alone. You.
​
My Life Journey:
Spiritual quest to uncover my most authentic form. Shed false inherited and adopted layers/stories/narratives. Honoring who and where I come from. Integrating reality. Acknowledging beauty and devastation.
Collectively relearning how to authentically relate to ourselves, eachother and the Earth is what it’s all about for me. You are welcome to join.
