Grief Support

Empty Chairs

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

“It had been a year since the death of my husband, A year of heart ache and sorrow but I had to face living again. So many changes I felt like I was drowning in decisions and could not get out of overwhelm. Friends and family had so much advice but I still felt lost.

A friend told me about coaching with Debra and I was able to slowly put my life back together and redefine myself and find a new purpose. I felt so supported and have a sense of empowerment and confidence in moving forward in this next part of my life. I highly recommend Debra she is kind, professional and helped me through what I would say was one of the hardest most challenging part of my life.”

“I was really suffering and praying daily for guidance to help me navigate my relationship with my son and his new wife. I was losing the most important person in my life. He didn’t sign his emails with love. I was devastated. He was cutting me out of his life. I tried everything and nothing seemed to help.

By the grace of God, I started coaching with Debra I was able to put my position or story aside, gain a different view and change my way of being in the relationship. I can say coaching with Debra was the answer to prayer. I am now starting to have an open loving relationship with my son and his family. I am so blessed and relieved to be able to have this new learning and way of communicating Thank-you so much.”

“Debra supported me through the loss of my wife.

She is compassionate, caring and practical. She guided me through my pain and the many secondary losses that I experienced. I will never get over the loss of my wife, but I am learning to live with my loss in a healthy way.”

RCalgary, AB

“My mother recently became ill: As a result, harmony among all of our siblings became a nightmare of arguing and conflict! Blaming, criticizing, endless disputes about money and what my mother needed and what to do.

A friend recommended coaching with Debra. I immediately gained clarity and perspective and was able to restore a sense of sanity and balance to my life while making sure my mother was cared for. I was able to modify my behavior with my siblings which led to an overall improvement in family relations. I highly recommend coaching with debra,; this was a hard transition for our whole family and I have more peace and there is way less conflict.”

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.

What People Are Saying

“I now have the relationship I have always wanted! I was the nice guy who repeatedly dated women who saw me as “the best friend”. I was the shoulder to cry on, the rescue mission at 3 in the morning.

My colleague told me about the relationship room and I entered with skepticism. With a direct straight forward approach and a series of exercises I was able to unlearn and learn a new way of being with myself and in relationship.

I have been with the same woman for the past 3 years and we are planning our wedding for the spring.”

S BLakefield Ontario

“I have done a huge amount of personal growth work with many talented professionals. In the relationship room Debra was able to take my learning to a much deeper level in a very short time with gentle precision.

Not only is she naturally gifted with intuitive powers and compassion, she is also highly skilled and perfectly equipped with tools that helped me look at the same “story” in a totally different way. It is this new perspective that allowed my healing to flow freely. This healing made space for someone better to come into my life.

Thank-you, Debra for helping me find the love of my life.”

“I didn’t know what I was doing…. I kept attracting men who would cheat on me! I was on my fourth time around; another cheater. Even though I had a successful career and was an attractive woman I felt bad about myself.

I was again stuck in the same place! Debra, with her honest laser yet compassionate approach helped me to see what I was doing and to change my pattern.”

D SVancouver BC

“I had difficulty communicating with my staff. I was accused of being abrupt and unapproachable in my business and personal relationships. I was feeling stuck and didn’t want the results that I was creating in my life.

After working with Debra I was able to identify where I was stuck in my old pattern. I am applying what I learned and shifting how I am thinking and believing. What a great service!”
