We offer compassionate, creative, and practical guidance for navigating difficult transitions in-person at our Seattle location or online.
We help clients restore a greater sense of order, hope, and peace of mind during chaotic and vulnerable life transitions.
Support is available.
During major life events, it’s not always clear what’s needed or where to start. From navigating the range of services available to explore what is most meaningful, Studio Saudade provides clarity, support, and guidance so that you can focus your energy on the more important things.
From quick guidance to hands-on support from beginning to end, our Seattle-area grief and trauma services are designed to save you time, money, and emotional strife.
Guided Conversations & Family Process Support
Processing and navigating loss as a family can be complex. Family members may have different ideas about how they want to honor their deceased loved one, and there may be layers of relationship dynamics making decisions difficult.
Studio Saudade asks the necessary questions to guide families toward a shared vision for honoring the deceased family member and connect with the appropriate resources for the kind of funerary arrangements and memorialization options you need. In the process, you will receive support around your own grief while navigating the complexities of handling a family process.
Initial family planning to create a shared vision for the funeral/memorial service event
Resource connection to streamline the process of engaging appropriate service providers to meet your family’s unique needs (legal, financial, etc.)
Ongoing support to navigate difficult family dynamics during a loss event
Support & Logistics for Major Moves & Relocations
Ongoing grief processes can take many forms, from a long-term diagnosis to a major move. In these circumstances, it can be challenging to disentangle the emotional weight from the practical needs accompanying relocation and change.
Studio Saudade offers customized consulting options for individuals and families navigating significant life transitions. Customized support is provided so each family’s unique needs are addressed and managed.
