Well Hello There!

I'm Kira, founder of Aspen's Angels, an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist and Certified Grief Educator based in Billings, Montana. I have an unwavering passion to help people through their toughest losses and reclaim their lives — because I've had to do it myself.

​

Who I work with

I work with adults grieving the death of a loved one, divorce, or any other major life loss — in Billings and across Montana in person, and virtually nationwide over Zoom. Whether you're looking for one-on-one coaching or a group program, there's a path here for you.

​

Why I do this work

My passion for grief recovery comes from experiencing the death of my first-born daughter. I thought I had "this whole grief thing" under control. I didn't — and trying to fake it created a huge mess in my life. What I eventually learned is that most of us have been taught lies about how to grieve. I had believed every one of them. That discovery is what led me to become certified in the Grief Recovery Method and, in 2016, to found Aspen's Angels — Billings' grief recovery coaching practice.

​

How I work with you

I meet grievers where they are — in-person and virtually, one-on-one and in group settings. Since 2023, I've also facilitated grief recovery groups inside the Montana Women's Prison, bringing this work to women who need it most and often have the fewest resources to find it. Loss doesn't check your zip code, your calendar, or your circumstances before it shows up — so neither do I.

​

My approach

As an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, I teach the tools and action steps needed to complete the things left unfinished by death, divorce, or any other kind of loss. I encourage and educate grievers — I don't just sit with people in their pain, I help them move through it. It's my life's work to walk you through this faster than it took me. School of hard knocks, party of one.

Want to talk about unhelpful ways to grieve? I've done them. Stuck? I was so there. All the well-meaning but hurtful things people say when they don't know what else to say? I wanted to throat-punch them too.

​

If you want a cheerleader, I'm not your girl. If you want a coach — someone who's lived it, come out the other side thriving, and will reach a hand down to help pull you up — then I am.

​

A little more about me

I'm a wife, a mother of five beautiful daughters (one of them in heaven), and a born-and-raised Montanan. I love wide open spaces, campfires, and birdsong in the morning — but my favorite place to decompress is a beach with salty air in my lungs. I love a good social scene and I equally guard my alone time. My playlist ping-pongs between Christian music and gangster rap, no apologies.
