Hello, if you are reading this it's probably because you have suffered a significant loss.  There are many types of losses and neither is neccessarily easier or harder than another.  They are simply different.  I lost my son in 2014.  That is when I started a journey to learn how to live without my son, which led me on a path to helping others.  I learned various ways of helping others heal with Reiki and hypnotherapy.  Earlier in my life, I spent ten years in law enforcement and after I retired I completed my bachelor's degree and became a substitute teacher.  Although both of my careers were very rewarding, I find that helping others who are suffering a great loss is how I want to spend the rest of my life.  After searching for ways to accomplish this, I was fortunate to find the Grief Recovery Institute.  As a Specialist for the Grief Recovery Program, I am able to help my community and connect grievers for added support.  My services are primarily available in San Benito County.  I look forward to having the opportunity to speak with you, hear your story and help you with your pain when you are ready.  With sincere gratitude, Sylvia
