I am a Certified Life and Grief Coach/Educator and owner of https://ToughGrief.com

From a teaching background, I trained and worked as a Professional Counsellor for several years before pivoting to become a Master Cerfied Life Coach a number of years ago. But it was the tragic and unexpected loss of my dearly loved husband in late 2016, that changed my world abruptly.

Out of my pain and suffering emerged the desire and the passion to create a safe space for people to find refuge and solace in their grieving. It completely changed the direction and focus of my life moving forward.

I do what I do now to honour my loss and my loved one.

People often ask me why I am so passionate about working with those going though grief and loss. I always have a simple answer for them.

It is because I have been where they are and I know the intense and crippling pain that consumes the grief stricken. I’ve experienced the shipwreck of loss and I understand how paralysing it can be, My heart has been shattered and the agony of grief has felt like it could swallow me whole at times.

However I also believe that things can improve and hope and purpose can be restored. Loss and grief are unavoidable, but we can choose how we live and to make the most of each day.

I offer my online and in person coaching services with a willing hert and a desire to help. It will be my honor and privilege to help you reassemble your life and regain hope for the future. Allow yourself permission to heal your pain:)

You can schedule a time for us to chat here on zoom (it’s free). We can determine how I can help and support you in your loss. Our coaching will be online so you can be comfortable in your own home.

I love you to join me at my facebook group  where you will find support and comfort from others who are also on their own grief journey. We would love to have you join us❤️

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure:)

I offer coaching and grief education and support services one-on-one.  I also offer services in Spanish. Se habla espanol. I specialize in child loss and am a bereaved parent myself.

Grief is not a problem to be solved or fixed. It’s the normal response to the loss of a dream. And it’s a process to wants to be witnessed, tended and lived through in whatever form and however long it may take. Grief can be isolating and lonely. As a compassionate Grief Coach, I help individuals navigate the profound emotions that come with loss. My approach is client-centered and empathetic, providing a safe, supportive space for each person to process their grief, be heard and be witnessed. Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one, a life transition, or another form of significant change, I work with you to move towards healing, resilience, and renewed purpose, honoring your unique journey through the wild terrain of grief.
