My journey with grief began the day my late husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, our hopes, dreams and expectations for the life we had created for ourselves, and our children were forever changed. His death just 22 months later added onto the grief I was already experiencing. I discovered the Grief Recovery Method as I was searching for opportunities to be of service to others who had experienced losses. During my training to become a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, I immersed myself in the program and learned so much about myself, and my grief -- and came away from the training lighter, clearer, and more peaceful than I had been in a long time. I did not realize that I was incomplete in so many of my relationships and losses. The Method worked for me, and I will be forever grateful for the path that it has led me down.
My father's death due to breakthrough covid in August of 2021, thrust me into another journey with grief, and I am thankful for my training as I embraced my sadness, allowing myself to sit in that space of grief while also using the tools I had learned which included giving myself permission to honor my pain, AND take the action steps to bring me to a place of joy, and carrying the wonderful memories of my dad in my heart.
As a Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist®, I guide those who have suffered losses by helping them navigate their way through grief, transitioning them to a place of joy and hope while honoring their relationships/experiences. Those losses may include but are not limited to; death of a loved one; divorce; relationship breakup; job layoff/change in employment status; financial instability; fertility issues; abuse and neglect. As shared in the Grief Recovery Method "Grief is the normal and natural reaction to a loss." I normalize grief and invite growth and learning throughout the journey using a heart centered, and holistic approach. You have the power to heal so let's take that journey together with me as your guide to peace and completion!
Included in my repertoire of certifications are - Reiki Master, Meditation Instructor, and Mindfulness Practitioner.
