Grief Coaching
“I believe the hardest part of healing after you’ve lost someone/some experience you loved, is to recover the ‘you’ that went away with them.”
What is Grief Coaching….
I have learned first hand as a person who has been lost in grief and has been professionally trained as an International Professional Coach with a specialty in Grief & Loss, Mindfulness Practitioner, Job Developer with a focus on Job Loss and that coaching is about transformation.
A supporting voice that guides you to adjust to your journey of grief, transformation of what once was to the new normal. The Specialty of grief coaching is to help you move or grow forward in your changed life that is meaningful for you.
The purpose is to teach and walk alongside you in learning how to grieve and mourn and how to navigate through your grief journey. Coaching recognizes that despite your grief, it can take you from functional to optimal, living a purposeful “transformed” life.
Grief never ends, but changes - living a new life.
Are you suffering a loss …. experiencing waves of emotions …. feeling broken hearted .… facing a new or different journey ….
You want to reinvest in your life and see how to live this different journey but are not sure of the first steps
Are you feeling alone and no one understands your pain and emotions?
Are you feeling “stuck” in your grief, a loss of “normality”?
Are your feeling like somehow you have lost yourself or unsure who you are, or who you want to become
Are you feeling that you have lost the life you once knew?
Looking for a compassionate, empathetic and non-judgmental ear, to really listen to you
Connecting with someone who has experienced significant loss and who has felt their heart break into pieces
Looking for someone to walk the journey with you; companion with you through grief, not try and “heal you or push you through grief”
If you answered “YES” to the above questions, then Grief Coaching sessions are a good fit for you.
There are several ways of working with me depending on your situation. The best way is to gain an understanding of where you are in your grief journey and to connect for a 30 minute FREE discovery call. We will look at where you are right now and an overview of how you can create your new normal and the stepping stones to get you to a new place of feeling purposeful, joy and happiness.

“I was going through a very traumatic life experience when I met Amy. I was looking for a person that could really help me move forward in all the loss I was facing. She was recommended through a community service provider. Our connection was immediate and she understood my pain, sorrow, fear and anxiety. Slowly, and with one step at a time she patiently helped me overcome challenges and find my new path. Her greatest strengths are her compassion, understanding, genuine care and being so present with me. She provided insightful coaching, practical exercises, mindfulness strategies and constant support. I have progressed a great deal and am a happier, more confident and whole person today”. —Eileen G.
“About a 2 years ago, my life was dramatically impacted by a car accident injury that occurred at work; severe anxiety and depression followed, as well as career change that I was not expecting. I was faced with deep pain and a personal crisis that I now realize was many losses in my life. As I started to work with Amy as my Grief and Loss Coach and right away things began to shift. Her style of support was empowering, insightful and progressive. As time passed, I began to heal my wounds and even more figured out more of my life’s purpose. I have become a successful, more secure and confident person. These qualities were always within me, but through Amy’s coaching I was able to find and believe again even stronger. Today, I can confidently face the changing world with optimism and trust in myself. I can’t imagine that I would have found so much peace without her support and effective coaching strategies. Every time I was leaving Amy’s soothing office, I was glowing with gratitude. I always remind myself of how lucky this town is to have such a wonderful, compassionate person with such personal and professional experience. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to find peace and joy again and needs the support to make the first steps”. — Dusan M.
