Grief Certified Coach.

As a Grief Coach, I come alongside women who are dealing with grief after losing a loved one and how it’s impacting their well-being. I  offer:

Weekly Grief Recovery Group

1:1 Reinvention Coaching which includes 8 private 75-minute coaching sessions, and customized resources which include the Reinvention Workbook to record all your notes so you can reference them later.

1:1 Worthy Coaching which includes 10 private 60-minute coaching sessions, and customized resources which include the Worthy Workbook to record all your notes so you can reference them later.

Private Facebook Group for support and encouragement

1:1 Grief Coaching (Online & In-Person) 
I support individuals experiencing all types of loss, including the death of a loved one, major life transitions, and cumulative or unresolved grief. Sessions provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process grief, build coping tools, and find meaning while honoring what has been lost.

My work is informed by both professional training and lived experience. I am a bereaved son who lost his mother, and I bring deep empathy while supporting people through many forms of loss—not just one story, but yours.

Grief-Informed Workplace Workshops & Talks
I partner with companies and organizations to create grief-informed, emotionally supportive workplaces. Services include tailored workshops, team trainings, and educational talks designed to help leaders and employees better understand grief, communicate with compassion, and support themselves and others through loss. All offerings are customized to meet the specific needs of each organization.

Life Coaching & Personal Growth Support
In addition to grief-specific work, I offer life coaching for individuals seeking clarity, direction, and growth. These sessions focus on goal-setting, reconnecting with your values, and working toward your full potential—especially for those navigating life after loss or major transitions.

My approach honors the reality that grief and growth often coexist, and that with the right support, it is possible to move forward with intention, purpose, and self-compassion.

Brian is a Grief Guide, Life Purpose Coach, and Mental Fitness Trainer. His client work consists of one-to-one customized sessions meeting you where you are. In addition, Brian often teaches classes.

Brian knows everyone’s grief is unique. He meets you where you are and tailors the work to what you need when you need it. Brian offers a complimentary thirty-minute consultation so that you and he can assess whether you are a good fit for each other before you commit to working with him.

In addition to helping with the loss of a person in your life, Brian helps with other types of grief events including the loss of a job, pet loss, divorce, illness, etc. Brian’s approach is based on over 60 years of experience in life, including all of these events and the passing of his 15-year-old daughter, Shayna Elayna Smith, at the age of 15, in 2015. Brian has worked with hundreds of parents through the Helping Parents Heal organization. He started his grief guidance and life coaching business in 2019 so he could reach more people.

Brian provides a safe space where you can safely share what you are experiencing. Brian shares techniques he discovered and developed after his devastating loss. Perhaps most importantly, he can help you understand that death is not goodbye and that your relationship with your loved one can continue. Any ending is a new beginning. Brian’s understanding is not a religious-based belief but a position based on reason and evidence. Brian doesn’t ask you to take his word for anything. He shares what he has discovered and allows you to draw your own conclusions.

Brian is on the board of Helping Parents, a non-profit peer-to-peer support group for parents of children who have passed. He is a sought-after podcast guest and public speaker having spoken at IANDS conferences, Helping Parents Heal, The Death Grief & Belief Conference, and more. He is the author of Grief 2 Growth and the host of the Grief 2 Growth podcast.
