Nadiya Byelova (she/her)

Nadiya offers a warm, grounded space where your story is heard without judgment. She specializes in supporting adults and couples through death, dying, identity shifts, and complex life challenges. Her approach combines professional skill with lived experience: she understands firsthand the realities of long-term caregiving, parenting a grieving child, immigration and international relocation, and being bereaved by the deaths of close family and friends.

Grief, caregiving, and major life shifts can feel intensely isolating, especially when society expects you to stay strong or move on before you have even had time to sit with the realities that exist alongside the death of someone in your life. Whether you are navigating the heavy weight of caring for someone who is dying, parenting a child who is grieving a death, adjusting to life after immigration, or an unexpected change, Nadiya strives to ensure you do not have to carry your grief alone.
With over 25 years of background in human services and workplace health, trained as a teacher, and bereavement group facilitator, Nadiya brings a nuanced understanding of how death and major life changes impact your sense of purpose. Together, you will make sense of what you are going through, find ways to speak about dying and death, navigate relationships, and rebuild meaning at your own pace.
