I am a personal brand and life purpose facilitator, musician and creative entrepreneur. I love my work.

Having the Grief Recovery Method to bring to my life and clients provides me a great sense of gratitude. I have always been passionate about the psychology of people and being able to serve my community. Since 2020, I have been exploring and learning about grief, and how it can affect one’s ability to live life fully.

I went through profound grief when my father died in 2014. I had no idea where to turn. Up until that time in my life, I viewed “loss” to be associated with death and I had not experienced that in my immediate family. I’ve come to understand that during my father’s 8-year cancer journey, there were many losses happening in my life. I was also undergoing multiple rounds of IVF during those years and I was able to conceive, only to miscarry soon after, and then have our hopes dashed at surrogacy. And finally, my husband and I chose to end our marriage.

When I lost my beloved dog at age 14 in 2020 during Covid, the black hole of sadness felt familiar – it was isolating. I now realize so much of our journeys are filled with loss, ones that most of us were never taught how to process. I’m thankful to have this Method to guide others and there is a comfort in knowing no one has to grieve alone.

I work in-person in the Toronto area as well as online.

What clients have to say :

"Kylie was incredible. An extraordinary listener, patient, focused and vulnerable. She followed the structure of the program and her confidence in the process was comforting and reassuring. She intuitively heard what I was saying and also what I wasn't saying. Her questions were insightful and truly helped me see where my own patterns and blinders had been operating.  She always let me know that I was welcome to email her with any questions that might come up during the week between sessions and the one time I was floundering and did email her reply was thoughtful, practical, wise and incredibly helpful. She is a gifted listener/facilitator/guide.  She is poised, attentive, warm, welcoming and strong. Kylie respected how busy evenings could be and honoured the 1-hour timeframe. She kept things moving at a wonderful pace so we could cover/uncover what we needed to and not sideline unhelpfully into prolonged narratives. This is an impressive skill. I would highly recommend her. She is approachable, effective and has a calming presence.

Would I recommend Kylie to someone who could benefit from this method? Absolutely wholeheartedly".

"I am very grateful for this program and everything I learned through it. Working with Kylie, I felt that she was able to offer me a safe and supportive space to process all the complicated emotions of losing my dad to SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). Kylie modeled compassion and empathy while I was sharing every step of my experience in the program and that helped me to do the same for myself throughout this process. Having since completed the program, I feel better having said goodbye to my dad in a way that fully expressed and represented his significance in my life. I know through this program that although saying goodbye is hard, it doesn't mean that I have or will ever lose my connection to my dad, it just means that I can give myself the gift of remaining open to life again."
