Jayne Madigan, founder of Healing After Suicide, leads a compassionate and transformative movement dedicated to supporting women navigating the loss of a loved one to suicide. With over three decades of professional expertise and a deeply personal connection to suicide bereavement, Madigan has built a platform that offers hope, healing, and renewal. Her work integrates evidence-based holistic techniques that empower survivors to rebuild their lives while honoring their loved ones' legacies.
Madigan’s journey into suicide bereavement began with personal tragedy. In 1992, she lost her uncle Ray to suicide, and in 2022, her nephew Brandon. These profound losses shaped not only her life but also her purpose. A survivor herself, Madigan intimately understands the pain, confusion, and stigma faced by those left behind. Her experience is the foundation of her work, allowing her to connect deeply with survivors and offer them a sense of hope and understanding.
Her dedication to this cause is complemented by a wealth of professional expertise. Madigan holds certifications as a Suicide Bereavement Clinician, Neuropsychotherapist, Master Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner, and Energy Medicine Specialist. This rare blend of personal resilience and professional training enables her to address grief and trauma from multiple perspectives.
Through her platform, Healing After Suicide, Madigan offers survivors a wide range of support tailored to their individual needs. Survivors can engage in private 1:1 sessions, participate in virtual group Masterclasses, or explore self-paced online courses. Each offering is designed to provide a safe and compassionate environment where women can process their grief, release trauma, and work toward healing.
At the heart of her approach is a commitment to holistic healing. By integrating Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), mindful self-compassion, somatic healing, energy medicine, and meditation, Madigan provides tools that go beyond traditional talk therapy. These techniques address the emotional, mental, and physical toll of grief, enabling survivors to heal deeply and fully. The emphasis on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—makes her work uniquely transformative.
In January 2025, Madigan will expand her offerings with the launch of Healing After Suicide: Beyond the Grief, an online Circle community exclusively for women who have lost a loved one to suicide. This membership-based program will provide members with access to guided healing practices, live support sessions, and a growing library of meditations, mini-courses, and expert-led content. The Circle is designed to foster connection and growth, giving members a nurturing space to heal alongside others who share similar experiences. For a limited time, presale memberships are available at a reduced rate of $27, making this resource accessible to survivors at any stage of their healing journey.
For those seeking a deeper, immersive experience, Madigan also offers in-person retreats. One of her most anticipated events, Finding Solace: Sedona Survivor Retreat – Transforming Grief into Healing, is scheduled for February 28–March 4, 2025. This retreat invites women to step away from their daily lives and immerse themselves in healing practices set against the serene backdrop of Sedona, Arizona. Participants will engage in meditation, gentle yoga, sound therapy, cacao ceremonies, healing circles, and guided excursions to Sedona’s renowned vortex sites. This carefully curated experience provides survivors with an opportunity to reflect, connect, and rebuild their sense of inner peace and strength.
Madigan’s work extends beyond individual healing to address larger societal challenges, particularly the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. She is passionate about fostering open, compassionate conversations that help survivors feel supported and reduce the shame often associated with seeking help. By providing resources and creating safe spaces for dialogue, she contributes to a broader effort to improve mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Her commitment to this mission will be further amplified by her forthcoming book, Healing After Suicide: Beyond the Grief, set for release in Spring 2025. The book combines Madigan’s personal story with the practical, holistic tools that helped her heal from both emotional and physical trauma. It serves as a guide for survivors, offering insights and strategies to navigate the complexities of grief and emerge stronger.
Madigan’s efforts have touched the lives of countless women, helping them reclaim their lives after unimaginable loss. Her programs are not only about recovery but also about empowerment, offering survivors the tools to rediscover their sense of purpose and joy.
What sets Madigan apart is her unwavering focus on women’s unique needs in the aftermath of suicide loss. Her programs foster community and connection while honoring each individual’s healing journey. Whether through private sessions, virtual courses, community memberships, or retreats, she provides survivors with the resources they need to heal at their own pace.
Ultimately, Madigan’s work is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. By combining her lived experience, professional expertise, and holistic practices, she empowers survivors to transform their pain into strength and rebuild their lives with renewed hope and purpose.
