nurturing relationships throughout life and loss

Kristyn & Ed Manemeit

social health practitioners

Kristyn and Ed Manemeit are a husband-and-wife team promoting relational health. They encourage resiliency beginning in childhood and extending beyond loss. They are social health specialists trained in transformative leadership and highly skilled as a death midwife and death doula specializing in pediatrics. They offer relational guidance, legacy building, and related projects designed to support people navigating life’s transitions.

Through curated conversations, they empower interpersonal connections to strategically guide individuals, families, and communities through life, dying, death, loss, and grief.

What is the "Manemeit Way"

The Manemeit Way is a philosophy centered on nurturing wholeness. Honoring the physical, emotional, and energetic presence—the “ity” that extends beyond what is visible and lives on in meaningful relationships, beyond separation.

 

They are experienced advisors, combing early education leadership, personal and professional coaching, and expertise in loss, death, and grief guidance. Kristyn and Ed compassionately offer their shared wisdom and integrative tools to encourage self confidence to develop social wellness and foster belonging.

Facing grief can feel like navigating a maze in the dark. I think of kristyn as both a light and a guide on my healing journey. Using compassion and intuition, I was provided the safe space needed to learn to let go of grief and open up to healing.
