By allowing the pain of loss to serve as an opportunity for positive change she works with you through a targeted individual strategy. Facing loss can remind us of what we value most providing opportunity to consciously make choices that re- affirm these values in all aspects of our lives. Over time, this process of reaffirming and recreating our lives reveals the skills, gifts and talents we bring to the world.
When we experience loss of a significant relationship or experience a life transition from Illness, Divorce, Retirement, Job loss/ change or relocation as well as more serious losses impacted by trauma, it creates emotional pain we know as grief. Grief and loss can be individual or collective.
The choices we make in the midst of our grief determines our capacity to use loss as a catalyst to improve our lives rediscovering love and peace.
