GRIEF CERTIFIED PEER-TO-PEER
How to Find the Right Grief Certified Support
We suggest you start with a phone call. Let them know you found them through grief.com.
Ask them about their style.
Tell them briefly about you.
They may or you may ask to start with an initial meeting. In person is the best way to assess if you are a match.
Make sure you discuss fees, before you begin, so there is clarity.

Melissa Bowers is the founder of Courage My Heart and creator of the HeartCompass Method. Melissa is a meditation & movement teacher (Yin Yoga + Pilates) and grief educator supporting you to heal your heart and honour your grief with mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Connect your mind~body~heart through breathwork, meditation-infused movement, and mindfulness.
As a bereaved mother, her yoga and teaching is rooted in the belief that breathing is life changing. It is in our darkest moments that we really need to be still, listen, and breathe with intention. Our breath deepens our mind~body~spirit connection which opens us to the healing inner wisdom of our heart.
Breathe with your whole heart ♡
My grief journey …
I know that when you lose someone you love, your life suddenly changes forever.
We are left alone, struggling, and feeling completely broken.
Even when surrounded by well intentioned family and friends, it’s important to feel heard, to be supported, and to really connect with someone who understands, so we are comfortable sharing our deepest pain.
Nothing could prepare me for the death of my beautiful 22 year-old daughter Natasha.
My life work is dedicated in honour of her ♡
