Be a Certified Confident Grief Coach and Transform Someone’s Life Today

How does one move on after the pain of 

losing the one they love most?

Are you a coach, psychologist, clinician, or other helping professional who finds meaning in helping your clients move forward after experiencing deep loss?

Or perhaps you are someone who has the lived experience of successfully creating a life of purpose after significant loss, and now you want to provide support to others?

Are you looking to be able to expand your confidence and up-level your skills in helping people who are living in grief?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions….

Then you most likely “get it” – you understand the heaviness and work it takes for someone who is grieving deeply to move forward after experiencing great loss.

And if you are like the majority of us, you have experience grief in some way during your life. 

Grief through the death of a loved one or other significant loss is not something we really like to talk about but the reality is – it is going to happen to all of us at one time or another.

In fact…

Millions of people throughout North America grieve and suffer from the death of a loved one.

Yet despite grief being one of life’s biggest challenges…

It can still be deeply misunderstood—especially in societies where grief is not allowed the time to be given its due process.

And while we know we can’t avoid the trauma that comes with it, families should still have access to compassionate experts and strategies to process their grief.

Unfortunately, there can be an ENORMOUS GAP between

…wanting to support individuals and families who are grieving after a deep loss

and 

…knowing the proven methods that will actually create positive change in their emotional and physical well-being.

If we don’t help the bereaved process grief through effective coaching strategies, they might suffer from what I call “FAILED GRIEF”

Failed grief is something I’ve witnessed in my own life.

I used to live in a home where my deceased brother’s memory was never spoken of or acknowledged…

…and it ultimately led to a home that was shrouded in unspoken sadness.

This has happened to MANY of my clients and there is a lot more grief and silent suffering in this world that is left unacknowledged and unaddressed.

If we don’t do something about this now, we deprive many families of the chance to live with peace, purpose and happiness.

I believe you are here because you have the heart, passion and willingness to help families move from simply surviving to actually thriving in their lives.

That’s why I want to offer you a proven coaching model that will not only fully equip you to become a certified grief coach…

But also gain complete CONFIDENCE in supporting those who are grieving.
