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.

David Kessler – Grief Educator
Paul Denniston – Grief Movement Guide
End of Life Doula – Douglas College
Kambo Practitioner – IASP (Ontario & Quebec – Canada)
Services Offered
I offer an active listening service as a Grief Educator & Grief Movement Guide in person and online to professionals in health and death care, first responders, caregivers and to those having difficulty expressing grief of a loved and people experiencing a divorce and/or job loss. My work as a LivingEndDoula supports people needing assistance with funeral arrangements, resources, legacy projects, eulogies, memorial planning, and supporting executors decluttering and closing an estate – property and contents.
Grief Expression is a FREE event on the Southwestern Ontario Death Doula Network on MeetUp. Join me and others every Wednesday & Sunday 7 pm EST in a safe space for people to express grief, form connections with others, and discover meaning from loss. Kind donations emailed to travelcatscribe@gmail.com support my work with others in grief and the cost of Zoom & MeetUp spaces. Your support is much appreciated.
I am also a Kambo Practitioner. Kambo/Sapo is derived from the secretion from the skin of a phyllomedusa bicolor frog found in Peru. The powerful peptides contained in Kambo are bioactive, anti-microbial, anti-viral, and assists in addiction recovery and boosts the immune system. Kambo has been used by the Matse Indians for thousands of years as a natural medicine that detoxes the mind, body, and spirit.
But how can Kambo assist people in grief? Kambo unlocked and released the grief I held for my father after many years. And after working with clients, I’ve witnessed how kambo can transform people’s lives physically, spiritually and mentally. Alleviating emotional burdens allows one to be more at peace. Kambo is the trilogy of healing the mind, body and spirit. (kambophyllomedusa.ca)

Certified Grief Educator
Grief Coach
Evidential Medium
Services Offered
I offer one-to-one grief support for individuals navigating loss and the many ways it can impact daily life, relationships, and identity. My approach is gentle, present, and guided by what you need most in the moment, creating space for honest conversation and reflection as you move through grief.
Sessions are personalized and evolve based on where you are in your journey. Some people come seeking language for what they’re feeling, while others want support making sense of how grief shows up in their body, thoughts, or relationships. The focus is on helping you feel supported, understood, and less alone.
For those who feel drawn to it, there is an option to include an evidential mediumship reading during the first session. This is entirely optional and offered as a way to explore continued connection with a loved one alongside grief support. Others choose to focus solely on grief support, and both approaches are welcomed and respected.
Sessions are offered one-to-one via Zoom.
