Description

What if the most impossible loss turns out to set you free in ways you couldn’t imagine? 
What if instead of going through loss you could grow through it? 
What if you become a more self-actualized, tapped-in and tuned-in empowered version of yourself, because of what you’ve been through (not in spite of it)? 
What if love really lives forever and you can learn to continue a relationship with your loved ones on the other side? 
What if you didn’t have to go through terrible loss alone or struggle to find the right kind of support or community who understands? 

These are questions I couldn’t imagine having, much less answering over three years ago when my son Sammy was killed. Grief became my unwelcome companion, but strangely, it also became my greatest teacher. Healing from loss is messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Now, I'm on a mission fueled by passion—to help others like me find their own paths through grief and toward spiritual renewal. Join me as I share my story, the hard-won lessons, and how we can all navigate the stormy seas of grief with grace and resilience.

This is what we explore:

The transformative power of allowing oneself to fully experience and process pain

The interconnectedness of grief and spirituality

The importance of embodiment, nature exposure, spirit connection, tribe, creative expression, and cognitive thinking in the grief healing journey

The therapeutic value of creative expression and cognitive thinking in understanding the stages of grief

My personal journey of grief and the resources and programs I offer for individuals seeking support and guidance


For those in need of more support and guidance, check out the Good Grief course on my website along with other resources and programs aimed at assisting individuals through their grief journey. Remember, grief is not merely a destination but a transformative journey.
