Grief can leave us feeling alone and lost in the world, not knowing where to turn for help. And yet grief is one of the few certainties in life - it is impossible to experience love without suffering loss.

Following the devastating loss of five babies, Zoe decided to use her counselling qualifications and twenty years of experience in the business and charity sectors to improve support for anyone who suffers baby loss.

A trained business leader, Zoe heads an international team dedicated to breaking the taboo nature of loss and providing innovative support to anyone in need, particularly through online platforms.
