I integrate the field of Health and Wellness Coaching based on positive psychology with Grief Education which focuses on emotional and physical needs of the clients/peers who are grieving.
I offer Grief talks through ZOOM/audio or video calls based on preferences for 30 mins to an hour.
In these sessions, my clients/peers and I have conversations about life and death which might bring awareness and clarity around these following topics: how to move through the pain while working through the feelings, how to navigate the daily life without the loved ones, is it possible to turn the pain into purpose, how to experience peace again!!
Conversations will be formed mostly by clients based on their experiences, their needs and expectations.

Certified Facilitator, “Poetry as a Tool of Wellness.”
Certified Grief Educator #105336, David Kessler and grief.com
Services Offered
I am the editor of “Voices of the Grieving Heart,” an anthology of poetry, short essays, and artwork contributed by 83 people whose loved ones died. You can order the book from your favorite bookstore, or you can buy it from Amazon.
Poetry has a unique ability, even more than journaling, to help the bereaved feel witnessed. So often, we who are grieving the death of a loved one lack the words to describe what we are feeling and experiencing. In reading poetry by others, we can find ourselves in others’ experience. Their words give voice to our pain when we are unable to find our own words.
Writing poetry–perhaps with support at first– allows us to create a mirror on the page in which we can more clearly see ourselves and clarify what we are feeling.
I offer two different workshops:
1. Educate professionals who work with the grieving on how to integrate the use of poetry into their practice.
2. Work directly with a group of individuals, providing exercises and facilitation t help them begin the practice of writing poetry to express themselves without the strictures of normal writing or even journaling.
