I was first introduced to the Grief Recovery Method in 2022 when my therapist recommended the program to me. I had been off work for a few months on medical leave, newly married, and in the process of relocating from Canada to Ireland. I completed the program the day before I left for Ireland and the timing could not have been more perfect. I found myself able to embark on this new chapter of my life with my husband with far less burden on my heart. A year later, my husband encouraged me to pursue the training to be become a certified specialist.
We have since relocated to Heidelberg, Germany, where I will be offering the program in English while I work on improving my German language skills (Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch). Having B1 or B2 level English should be sufficient to participate, but we can chat more about that if you are unsure. Also, I will be working on sourcing a printer for the handbook in other languages. In-person, I will be serving the Rhein-Neckar region. Online, people living in Europe will likely find the session times more convenient than elsewhere (Central European Time - CET), though, all are welcome. Both formats will be offered for groups or 1:1.
As a Recreation Therapist, the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) is an effective tool for addressing the emotional barriers that keep us from doing the things we love. The evidence-based nature of the program makes it a natural fit for anyone looking to support others with their overall well-being. The GRM has become an essential tool in my personal toolbox for sorting through the emotional pain and trauma I have experienced throughout my life:
- PTSD, Depression, Stress & Anxiety
- LGBTQ2IA+, LGBT+, queer, non-traditional gender expression
- ADHD, neurodivergent, neurodiversity/neurodiverse
- Loss of health, Bell's Palsy, chronic pain
- Loss of job, financial difficulties
- Death of loved ones
- Changes in relationships, marriage, relationship breakdown
- Moving, culture shock, reverse culture shock
GRM pairs well as an additional education component to a holistic health plan!

Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.
This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person or online with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
The loss of a pet can be emotionally devastating. Sadly, the impact of the heartbreak of this type of loss is often downplayed or ignored by friends and family. This 6-meeting program is focused on offering pet owners an effective mechanism for taking action to move through and beyond their grief.
