A path back to connection after loss

Grief doesn't only ask us to let go. Sometimes it asks us to find a new way to stay connected.

Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) is a structured therapeutic approach that helps people who are grieving access a felt sense of connection with someone who has died. Developed from clinical research into the spontaneous after-death experiences many bereaved people already report — a presence felt, a message received, a visit in a dream — IADC uses bilateral stimulation to help the nervous system open to these experiences in a supported, intentional way.

This is not about being told what to believe. It's about creating the conditions where your own experience can unfold, and helping you make sense of it afterward.

What happens in a session

An IADC session follows a clear structure:

1. Preparation. We talk about the person you've lost, what your grief has been carrying, and what you're hoping for. There's no script for what "should" happen — this part is about readiness, not expectation.

2. Bilateral stimulation. Using sets of eye movements (similar to those used in EMDR), we create a state that appears to lower the usual barriers between everyday awareness and experiences of connection.

3. Processing. Afterward, we slow down and talk through whatever arose — a memory, an image, a sense of presence, words, nothing at all. Whatever happened is worked with gently and without judgment.

Most people need only one to three sessions. This is a focused intervention, not an ongoing weekly therapy.

Who this is for

IADC tends to be a good fit for people who:

• Are grieving the death of someone significant — a spouse, a parent, a child, a close friend — and feel unfinished in that relationship

• Have tried other approaches to their grief and still feel stuck, or feel a persistent sense of unresolved connection

• Are curious about this work, even if they're not sure what to expect or what they believe

You do not need a particular spiritual or religious framework to benefit from this work. Some people who come to IADC are lifelong believers in an afterlife; others are skeptics who are simply grieving and want relief. Both tend to find the process meaningful.

A note on belief

I won't ask you to interpret your experience in any particular way, and I won't offer my own interpretation of what it "means." What matters clinically is that IADC has been shown to reduce the pain of grief and to help people feel more at peace with their loss — regardless of how they understand what happened in the room. You're free to hold your experience however makes sense to you.

My background

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in grief work, and additional training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), both of which inform how I approach this work with care and clinical structure. IADC sessions draw on this same foundation of trauma-informed, body-aware therapy.

If you're grieving and feel drawn to this work, I'd be glad to talk with you about whether it might help.
