Testimonials For One-on-One Support
I felt a lifting of sadness that had weighed me down for years. Now, I understand why other people hadn’t been much help to me when I spoke to them about my sadness. It was a relief to see things from another perspective and also a relief to discuss loss with the grief recovery specialist who was very empathetic and guided me through the process.

To the very last session, I was anxious that this method might not work, might not help me recover from a lifetime of being wounded. I was wrong. Your method, along with an outstanding facilitator, have given me the tools to get out of the quicksand & begin to move forward with hope. Already I have recommended three people to your program because it works.

I lost my son to suicide in 2018. I was also trying to complete my grad program and keep my family intact. I have a personal history of very traumatic losses that resulted in PTSD that I couldn't seem to resolve. After working with Denise and learning the grief recovery method, I was finally able to put an end to some of those unresolved issues I've carried through my life, and gained the tools I needed to deal with the loss of my son. I plan to continue using those tools throughout my life, and hope to help others find their own recovery through the same method. The changes, in one year, have been significant. While I am still sad at the loss of my son, I am able to enjoy memories of him without carrying around a load of guilt or pain with it. I am profoundly grateful to have met Denise and be able to go through this process and feel like I can continue moving forward with my life.

I realized I was walking around angry and short with my friends. Celynn helped me to- using your analogy clean up my garden/weeds. I feel a bit better with my relationship with my mother.

Before I attended I felt overburdened, like something physical and/or mental was going to give. After completing the program I felt a lightness and calmness with more energy and the overburdened feeling was gone. I am thankful that as things surface I have the tools to keep going and Tammy is nearby to help.

Heather helped guide me through this 7 week Grief Recovery Method. Although, I had first started seeing her following the death of my mother, we quickly discovered other nuclear family relationships that were causing me much pain and holding me back from my full potential. I credit her and the program in opening my eyes to what grief fully encompasses, from death to a new job. I realized that all my reactions to my experiences with loss were normal. What Heather taught me was how to cope with these cumulative losses on top of the loss of my mother in a healthy way. I allowed myself to grieve and then to find completeness through the methods in the workshop. her vulnerability in sharing her own story gave me so much strength. If she could get through her own struggles, I was determined to get through mine. That was by far the biggest impact from the sessions, was her being so transparent with me about her own grief journey. I felt I was opening up to someone who completely understood where I was and where I could be in my grief journey. Thank you Heather!!!! I thank God for placing you in my path in my darkest hours of grief.

This program gave me an entire sense of self awareness, it gave me tools to be able to open up and understand false beliefs that I've been carrying my entire life. It also helped me achieve recovery from various losses that I wasn't even aware of. It's very different from conventional counseling and therapy.. this program actually equips you with solid knowledge and truths to be able to overcome the pain and loss and feel completed. To be healed in the soul.

This program has been great for me and I feel lighter overall. I definitely am struggling to continue with my relationship graphs because there is still a lot of grief with various people in my life, but the ones I have completed have helped tremendously. It just feels like things make more sense and I'm more complete, kind of like the feeling I got when I was finally diagnosed with OCD and started treatment after years of being lost and having no idea what was going on with me. I definitely think that more guidance for people who have really strong aversions to pain would be helpful. I noticed that while doing relationship graphs, I wanted to eat more and watch more TV because of all the painful emotions coming up. My favorite part were the completion letters. These were hard but so freeing.

The grief recovery method has opened a gateway for me to be able to work with different losses and relationships in my life . Being able to plot the loss history and relationship history although challenging and painful provided the necessary perspective of a more ‘whole’ sense of my relationship and loss. Being able to acknowledge and speak ( with a coach ) the undelivered communications brought transformation.

It has helped me learn how to accept and manage relationships from my past and present in a way which allows me to put my best foot forward in my life.

Throughout my life I have participated in a number of different healing modalities and I found this method, with the various graphs and lists, allowed me to make sense of my life. While it wasn't comfortable or easy, it was well worth it. And kudos go to Michele Mariscal for without her deep compassion, her being a heart with two ears, I would have quit.

I came to the program in the height of my grief. I couldn’t focus, my sleep was affected, eating and drinking was by force, and I was doing everything and nothing was working. I started working on the program and it was the first thing that actually helped and made me feel better. I read the book, did the lessons, and I walked out in a much better mind set about it all.
