Healing Hearts Community

Terri Chaplin is a grief companion and educator who walks alongside people during some of the most tender and difficult moments of their lives. Her superpower is her ability to sit with grief, without rushing it, fixing it, or minimizing it, and create a space where people feel truly seen, safe, and understood. Terri supports individuals navigating loss in all its forms, including grief, heartbreak, identity shifts, and life transitions. She also works with professionals who feel called to support the grieving but want to do so with more compassion, confidence, and integrity. Through education, heartfelt support, and practical tools grounded in both lived experience and evidence-based practices, Terri helps people understand how grief affects the heart, mind, and body - and how to support it in a way that honors each person’s unique experience. Her work blends grief education, nervous system awareness, and heart-centered practices to help clients build resilience while still honoring their pain. Terri also offers certification programs for those who want to turn their compassion into meaningful, ethical grief support work. Her students don’t just learn what to say, they learn how to be present, grounded, and human in the face of loss. Terri is local to the Tampa Bay area, works virtually with clients anywhere, and also hosts in-person workshops and retreats. At the heart of everything she does is a deep respect for love, loss, and the courage it takes to carry both.
