Dr. Rachael Nolan

Rachael D. Nolan, PhD, is an Advanced-Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® who approaches grief not as something to be fixed, but as a sacred experience to be witnessed with tenderness and care. Rooted in her own lived experience and years of walking alongside individuals and families through profound loss, Rachael offers a gentle, grounded presence. She creates spaces where people can exhale—where grief is honored, stories are held, and healing unfolds at its own pace. Believing deeply that we heal in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with community—Rachael weaves together structure, empathy, and deep listening to support those navigating both acute and enduring grief. Her work is a quiet invitation back to wholeness, connection, and hope.
