INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL GRIEF COACHING | IOPGC
FROM GRIEF TO GRATITUDE COACHING
IOPGC is a Proud International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coaching Education Accredited Provider
Grief is a universal experience and no individual or organization is exempt from its profound impact. We are forging a future where compassion and growth intertwine, guiding us from grief to gratitude and beyond.
The Institute of Professional Grief Coaching (IOPGC) is a grief coaching education and certification organization that trains individuals, professionals, and organizations to support people through grief using a heart-centered, non-therapeutic coaching model. The business also extends beyond certification into media, publishing, and consumer education through GRIEF TV on The Roku Channel, Udemy courses and books by founder Dora Carpenter.
At the Institute of Professional Grief Coaching, we believe that quality grief education should be accessible, practical, and relevant to the diverse needs of those we serve. Through facilitator-led certification programs, self-paced learning, and specialized professional education, IOPGC prepares individuals and professionals to integrate grief coaching knowledge and skills into their chosen areas of service. Our educational approach recognizes that grief is not a linear experience and that meaningful support extends beyond coping with loss to embracing resilience, renewed purpose, and life going forward.
Grief rarely moves in a straight line. One day a person is handling work, family, and daily routines. The next, a birthday, voicemail, anniversary, or empty chair can bring everything back to the surface. In those moments, many people ask not only what is a grief coach, but whether this kind of support can help them keep living while carrying loss.
