Frequently Asked Questions


What is Loved As You Are?

Loved As You Are is a space for women at life’s turning points—navigating identity shifts, creative reawakening, quiet unravelings, or the threshold of death. Founded by Eileen Grimes, it offers threshold guidance, somatic practice, ritual, and reflective support through The Spiral Way framework. This is not a place for fixing. It’s a space for remembering who you are.

What is The Spiral Way?

The Spiral Way is a cyclical framework for transformation, comprising four elemental stages: Descent, Source Memory, Emergence, and Communion. It’s designed to help you move through change—grief, creativity, reinvention, or endings—with gentleness and clarity. It’s used in all offerings, from rituals to 6-month and year-long group journeys.

Who is this work for?

Women in midlife or other meaningful transitions who feel like something essential is missing—whether they’re grieving, creatively blocked, burned out, or quietly wondering, “Is this all there is?”
This work is especially resonant for those who’ve been holding everything together and are ready to come home to themselves.

Is this therapy or coaching?

No. This is not therapy, treatment, or traditional coaching. Eileen offers somatic-based presence, ritual, reflection, and a clear structure for navigating life’s deep questions. It’s a process of guided remembrance—not advice, diagnosis, or performance.


I don’t know what I need. Can I still begin?

Yes. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. This work meets you in the unknown. You can begin with a small downloadable ritual, join a group program, or schedule a connection call to see what feels aligned.

What’s the difference between the $22 offer and a full program?

Low-cost rituals like The First Letting Go are designed to gently guide you into the Spiral.
Programs like Meeting Death are multi-month, live journeys with structured reflection, group support, and integration. Every offer is a doorway—you choose how deep to go.

How can I start?

You can begin with the $22 ritual The First Letting Go, try the free Spiral Way Welcome Reflection, or schedule a free Threshold Session with Eileen, a gentle conversation to meet you where you are, with no pressure to commit. This is simply a place to pause, reflect, and feel into what’s next. You don’t have to rush. The Spiral will meet you when you’re ready.
