Journey to transform your grief into deeper love.
Grief is like a fingerprint, a unique pattern only you possess.
Recovering from the grief of a loved one has no manual. A cookie-cutter approach will only delay your progress. What’s necessary is a self-paced and direct path to heal while connecting with support that you choose.
That’s why I created this healing journal so you can start now to slowly and gently rebuild your life through grief with some gentle guided prompts along the way.
There is no right way to take this path. Simply soaking in the gentle guidance in the journal can provide some clarity when life feels overwhelming and paralyzing.
Please accept my gift of the “Healing Pathway,” where you can:
Honor ALL of your emotions.
Dissolve expectations & judgement
Get to know yourself better and experience your unique path to healing

I’ve read many grief books, even worked with a grief counselor after my loss. Only this book really addressed how to honor my grief and continue with my professional work. It’s not an either-or; it’s an "and." I am grateful to the author for conveying that so beautifully. I found the questions and suggestions in each chapter helpful even now, 18 months into my grief journey.
For over 40 years, I've guided and partnered with clients through grief, life transitions, and retirement planning.
I specialize in guiding individuals through grief using hypnosis that addresses past psychological programming deep in the subconscious, where traditional methods only scrape the surface.
As a survivor of my own deep grief from the loss of my mother and as a certified grief professional, I understand that grief isn't just something to get over; it's an experience to be honored and transformed.
I often say, "I've never worked a day in my life," because supporting others on their healing journey isn't work to me. It's my calling and deepest joy.

Transforming Grief Into Sacred Healing
When grief strikes, it can feel like the ground beneath you has crumbled away. The pain of losing someone you love deeply can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and paralyzed.
To transform your grief, you need a nurturing sanctuary where your emotions are honored without judgment, your pain is witnessed with compassion, and your healing unfolds at your own gentle pace.
Do any of these statements resonate with you?
The devastating loss of your spouse and feeling completely adrift
Overwhelming waves of grief that seem to come without warning
The challenge of maintaining your professional life while your heart is breaking
Guilt about experiencing moments of joy or peace amid your sorrow
The pressure from others to "move on" when you're not ready
If so, this approach honors the sacred nature of grief while gently guiding you toward hope, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose that carries your love forward.
