🐾 Stella’s Path: Compassionate Support for Pet Loss

In honour of Stella — whose calm, loyal spirit continues to guide our work.

Grieving the loss of a pet can feel like navigating changing tides — moments of calm, moments of ache, and the quiet waves that come without warning.
At Mind & Ocean, we understand that pets are family. Their love stays with us long after they’re gone, and healing takes gentleness, compassion, and time.

Stella’s Path was created to honour that love — and to support those learning to find their way back to stillness after loss.

“Love doesn’t disappear — it changes shape and continues to flow.” 🌿

Through mindful reflection, warmth, and compassion-focused counselling, we help you honour your pet’s memory, express your grief, and reconnect with calm.

💙 Stella — Forever in Our Hearts

The Inspiration Behind “Stella’s Path”

Stella was more than a beloved dog — she was calm in motion, presence in fur, and love without language. Her quiet loyalty and grounding energy touched everyone who met her.

Though Stella passed in 2023, her gentle spirit continues to guide the heart of our practice and the creation of our Compassionate Support for Pet Loss program.

She reminds us that love never disappears — it simply changes form.
Her legacy lives on in the comfort and understanding we offer to others navigating the loss of their own companions.

“Stella taught us that stillness isn’t the absence of sound — it’s the feeling of being fully seen and loved.” 🌿
