Richelle was very caring and giving. That is her nature. She listens and explains things in a way that was easy to understand and was patient in answering my questions. She was nonjudgmental and I appreciated that and felt "listened to." She asked insightful questions and let me get the revelations for myself. Before I started this program, I couldn't tell you what I was feeling and she helped give me an "emotional language." This was life-changing for me and I'm excited to continue working on other relationships and loss with her.

It is much because of the facilitator, Dr Richelle Hoekstra-Anderson that this program was effective in my opinion. She was able to explain the approach well, demonstrate how the method has impacted her personally, and then walk alongside me as I learned the method. Dr. Richelle was empathetic and genuine throughout the entire process. There is zero question of her authentic nature as well as her knowledge and confidence in the Grief Recovery Method. Although the material in an of itself may be excellent, the practical learning and application of the method relies heavily upon the facilitator. In my case, this was a very supportive experience.

Dr. Hoekstra-Anderson was the best. She made me feel comfortable. She shared her experiences having gone through the program herself. She was empathetic and supportive while at the same time exemplifying all of the things taught in the grief recovery method.

She was wonderful. She listened, didn't interrupt, really guided me through the process and answered any questions I had. I liked working one on one as opposed to a group setting because it suits my personality more. I don't know if I would have been able to open up so much in a group.

My facilitator was wonderful! She did a great job of explaining how the process would work as well as providing examples. Her total honesty with me made it much easier for me to be honest and vulnerable with her. Being able to speak those thoughts and feelings with total honesty was a game changer. It really helped me move forward in the grief process. My facilitator made me feel heard and understood. It is so helpful to have her know everything I had been carrying, and to be able to trust her with it.

The program has helped me with one relationship of loss and grief. I can now work through other relationships using the same system.

I feel the Grief Recovery Method opened my eyes to all the many ways we experience grief and loss in our lifetime, and how we unconsciously bury or "not deal" with such losses depending on what we "learned" from family, society, etc. Upon completion of the Grief Recovery Method, I found a deep peace in the relationship I grieved, and I not only sleep better but have more "space" in my spirit, heart and life to fill with personal growth and other self priorities!! I Highly Recommend this process! Dr.Richelle's personal experience and knowledge on the subject of grief made this program richer for me. She is highly compassionate, empathetic, professional and relatable as a facilitator!

Dr. Richelle has coached me through several programs. She has a wealth of knowledge coming into this program and has used another tool to yet again help me "level up". I am not certain that I would have so willingly walked into this with anyone else. I thank God for putting her in my path and for showing her this program to share with me.
