Grief Support
Grief never ends.
But it changes.
It’s a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
Not a lack of faith…
It’s the price of love.
– Manning
The process of Grief is painful and confusing and it can feel like you are going crazy.
No two people will grieve in the same way; grief is an intensely personal experience and there is no set way or formula on how it should look.
Grief reaches into every part of life; work, relationships and self-image.
You are not alone. In a safe confidential space, I offer guidance and support; no matter where you are in your journey.
What People Are Saying
“We don’t see things as they are we see things as we are.”
– Anais Nin
Relationships
Our primary relationship is with self first. This is based on the premise of self care, self knowledge and personal accountability.
The stronger our core self is, based in health: physical, mental, spiritual well-being, the stronger is our capacity to be in relationship with others.
Awareness of our values, rules, core beliefs and agreements strengthens our core self.
Every belief has an emotional point of view and is located in the body.
We have core beliefs that are formed from events in our early development. These beliefs are either negative or positive and are rational or irrational.
The beliefs that we form in our development produce the results that we are currently experiencing.
What we believe either propels us into action or keeps us from taking action; or keeps us experiencing repeated unwanted results.
All of our decisions and actions are veiled or filtered through our beliefs, agreements values and rules.
We have the ability to upgrade and reprogram our beliefs so that we may experience and choose a different reality.
Life often brings conflict and challenges that are opportunities for growth. In my personal and professional experience, I have found that it is possible to shift our perspective and find clarity and freedom from suffering.
If you have a situation or personal relationship that needs transformation, I can help guide you to your own personal freedom door.
This unique process enables us to dissolve old patterns and transcend deeply rooted survival behaviors that no longer serve us. With this skill set you will be able to approach challenging dynamics with family, friends and colleagues from your highest self.
