Coaching means partnering with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.

Grief coaching means partnering with you as you re-adjust to life after a significant loss. It means helping you tap into your own resilience and wisdom and supporting you as you re-envision life - it might not be the life you wanted, but it’s still yours.

Like therapy and counselling, coaching can support your wellness, well-being and mental health.

Coaching, however, focuses on visioning, success, the present and moving toward the future. Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching.

Let’s hop on a call and find out!

In my experience, coaching is a wonderful support and tool when you are ready for forward action. You don’t have to know what that action is but it is important to feel like you’re ready to move forward with life.

A note for grievers here. I don’t see moving forward and moving on as the same thing. In grief, there has been a pervasive narrative that we need to move on with life. I don’t agree with that narrative. I work with you to move forward with your grief because when a loved one dies, we don’t sever our connection with them. We re-create it.

In my experience, grief coaching is an effective tool after you are through the early stages of grief.

There are a few options.
