Services Offered
I have recently completed the required coursework through the David Kessler training program and I am now a Certified Grief Educator.
A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief.
Certified Grief Educators complete a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. They bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help people navigate the challenges of grief.”
I was inspired to turn my pain into purpose by the many years spent as caregiver for my beloved sister who passed away from Lewy Body Dementia in 2024. I know what it’s like to be searching for answers about an illness, support from friends and family, resources to help me understand an illness and a shoulder to lean on. Sometimes just witnessing by holding space is all a loved one/caregiver needs in order to carry on.
