the bereaved mothers attending this retreat.
Betsy Winter
Betsy Winter is the Director of Community Support for Return to Zero HOPE, playing an important role in providing trauma-informed and inclusive support and resources for bereaved parents and their providers. Her journey began in 2015 with the terminal diagnosis and subsequent loss of her daughter, Eliza, at 41 weeks gestation. This significant experience inspired her dedication to guiding bereaved parents toward emotional healing, community connections, and the discovery of renewed meaning and purpose through their grief and love. Betsy is also a highly trained mind-body coach and somatic practitioner, recognized for her effective methods for addressing trauma, loss, and personal transformation. She resides in Olympia, WA with her husband and two children, Bennett and Wren. To learn more please visit her website.
Kiley Hanish
Kiley is dedicated to helping people through transformational growth and healing after loss. After suffering the stillbirth and loss of her first child Norbert, Kiley co-created the Emmy-nominated film Return to Zero to break the silence and stigma around pregnancy and infant loss for parents around the world. The film led to her non-profit organization Return to Zero: HOPE, where she advocates for and guides bereaved families in reclaiming their purpose, meaning, and healing after their tragic loss.
As an occupational therapist and speaker, she is widely recognized as a thought leader at the intersection of mental health and the loss during the perinatal period.
