It is my passion to help hurting hearts

It takes a hurting heart to know one and

i know yours can feel better.

Maybe your experience with grief is similar to mine and maybe not. Grief proves to be different for every person who knows its depths. My tumultuous grief story runs long and wide, peppered with years of angst and crippling emotion.

In carving my way through to acceptance and peace I once only dreamed of, I’ve learned, and I share with you the truest of truths: Every grieving heart leashed by emotional burdens, pain, and suffering wants to feel better. Every hurting heart longs to live & love unleashed.

Hello

And while I’m blessed to be where I’m at emotionally and spiritually today, I’ve not gotten here alone (and neither will you). I have learned that there’s more to our lives than the grief we endure.

Learning to rise through grief’s despair, the work of unleashing your heart isn’t easy, only worthwhile. No one would choose to experience the grief you feel, and most don’t understand your emotions or how to support you.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to face your grief alone. Yet it’s ultimately your individual, personal decision—your choosing to take a powerful journey to feel better – that is the essential element of you finally living beyond grief’s shadow.

The Grief Recovery Method® showed me the way by giving me the tools needed to complete my unresolved grief. It’s an educational, action method of healing that I am grateful to be able to share with you.

I believe in

honesty

Denial is strong, but truth is stronger. Facing what’s leashing your life is essential to unleashing your heart.

Being honest with ourselves is a key first step in creating lasting change. And, honesty is also a value we can dishonor ourselves. If we’re dishonoring it, how can we expect others to not do the same?



support

We do not heal in isolation, and processing grief is not something that can be accomplished alone.

It took me decades to realize this truth. I needed support. More importantly, I needed to be willing to ask for help, which is often the hardest first step.

spirituality

Through divinity & God’s grace: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

Spirituality is more than religion or faith-based practices. Spirituality, to me, is a deepening of our connection to all living things and beings. We are all sparks of the divine and the disconnect we experience as a result of grief runs deep and wounds us spiritually.

perspective

Allowing yourself to feel something new, embrace guided perspective, and experience meaningful shifts is liberating.

Sometimes, all it takes to make a different choice is to gain new perspective.
