I am so happy that you are here. There is nothing I love more than helping people with any type of pain or loss they have encountered. After the death of my husband I found myself "coping" for many years. Learning to live without him and raising four daughters on my own had many challenges. Not only did this stunt my own healing but brought up many of the other losses I experienced throughout my life that I wasn't aware I had still been grieving. In 2017 I began writing, I noticed how healing this process was, and in 2020 I published my book PaddleOut ~ A Memoir. Although I was able to write about many of these losses I still felt like an open wound.
In 2024 I stumbled upon the Grief Recovery Institute. I decided to do the intensive training and it was during this time that I went through the method myself that my eyes were pleasantly opened. Although I had written about the many losses, I still had many unresolved feelings surrounding them. The method helped me to see through to the end and complete my relationship to the pain I had been carrying. I do believe this is what I am meant to do. I want to share what I have learned and help you to heal as well! Pain is real, sadness is all around, but there is a way through! I'm thrilled to be launching my Grief Recovery Method practice in the Toledo and Northwest Ohio area.
