Welcome! My name is Naomi Gilman and I'm passionate about helping you find hope and healing in your journey with loss and grief.
I spent most of my life proud of my own strength in staying positive despite multiple major losses. It wasn't until one of my best friends died by suicide, that I came face to face with my inability to deal with the grief. After spending months and thousands of dollars on traditional therapy, my Pastor handed me the Grief Recovery Handbook. Through the simple, straightforward, and no-nonsense approach of the GRM, not only did I start to heal my current grief, I realized how much grief I had previously never dealt with. The more I dived into my own history with loss and found hope and healing, the more I desired to share what I was finding so those around me could experience the same.
I am located in Ottawa, Canada and love serving the National Capital Region.
When I'm not busy helping you with your recovery journey as a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, you'll find me working with children and youth as a teacher, mentor, and owner of Ottawa's only Christian Dance School. My years as a business owner, children's program director, women's ministry leader, public speaker, and young adult mentor, have given me lots of experience in walking closely with people through the many stages of their lives.
I offer groups and one on one sessions. It would be a privilege to work with you.
