“Grief is not a problem to be
solved. It is not a weakness to be overcome. It is the profound and natural
response to love — and to loss.”
I know grief intimately. In
addition to losing elder members of my family and many friends over the years,
I lost my father when I was eight years old, my brother in my thirties. My
mother suffered Alzheimer’s for a decade, before passing away in my forties. In
2020, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and after a very perilous journey,
he lost his battle in 2022. Each loss reshaped me. Each one taught me something
that no textbook ever could.
I made it my mission to help
others through their own grief and bereavement journeys, training as a
Transformational Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, and
qualified to teach (Level 6) in all modalities. In addition, I have helped
hundreds of people through therapy and in my role as a funeral arranger since
November 2022.
Over forty years of professional
life — spanning holistic therapy, Montessori education, transformational
coaching, clinical hypnosis, NLP and extensive training in grief and
bereavement — I have held space for hundreds of people navigating the hardest chapters
of their lives.
You do not have to navigate
this alone. And you do not have to get it right.
This programme is not about moving
on. It is about moving through — with compassion, with tools, and with the
knowledge that growth is possible even in the darkest of times.
