INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL GRIEF COACHING | IOPGC
Finding love was the most blissful life experience. Becoming a "we" seven years ago brought magical joy into our lives together, filled with eternal love and adventure. Nothing could have prepared us for the sudden Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis and my husband’s unexpected death on June 18, 2024, after 64 days in the hospital, during which I never left Richard’s side.
This recent experience has magnified my understanding of the uniqueness of grief, and why we grieve. My grief for Richard highlights the significant need for dedicated support and education. Death, loss and grief are not topics people are comfortable talking about, we are not taught how to manage these life altering events. We are left on our own, in isolation, to figure it out. As we walk together, grief education & support is foundational to how we heal and move forward.
Because of my grief journey, with optimistic intention to move forward as a thriving widow, I reignited my “why”, coaching in service to others, my most joyous happy place. Integration of my own grief, with professional superpowers to support you with compassion, grace, and empathy.
As a certified grief coach, I guide individuals and groups through challenging experiences of all types of loss, leveraging my 13+ years as a sought after Executive Coach. I bring insights and a personalized approach, to empower you along your transformative journey.
I am certified by the Institute of Professional Grief Coaching (IOPGC), extensive expertise in Executive Leadership development, Human Resources, Organizational Design, and non-profit community engagement serving under-recognized youth.
With my wholehearted approach, I recognize each person’s grief is individual. This is where I meet you, exactly where you are, in your moment. I dedicate myself to work alongside you to create personalized strategies that honor your emotions to facilitate your healing.
​
Whether you are working through the loss of a loved one, a significant relationship, a beloved pet, a job in search of your next chapter, I provide a trusted safe space for you to express yourself and explore paths forward together.
My goal is to encourage you to thrive, with purpose as you move through and forward, with a heart full of gratitude as you approach each new wave of grief and welcome the dawn of tomorrow, visualizing your life ahead.
These offerings are aimed at walking alongside you during your grief journey. I invite you to join me as we navigate your path together, to explore hope and resilience amid grief as we work to heal and rediscover your joy.
