Hey there, I’m Jennifer a Certified Grief Educator and  Transitional Life Coach.  

A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief. Certified Grief Educators completed a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. They bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help people navigate the challenges of grief.

As a grief educator, I understand how transformative grief can be. I offer a holistic approach to grieving by meeting the person where they are on their journey, understanding they are not broken, and realizing the true expertise is with the griever. By offering a safe space, compassion, honesty and respect, I am here as support to help navigate the journey through grief .

When you are grieving the societal response is inappropriate. There are expectations from employers, unhelpful comments from well intentioned people, and then be expected to be the person you once were. In my opinion, that’s inappropriate, so I may be the support person you were warned about – I drop the occasional curse word, can be a little unfiltered, humorously sarcastic, and sometimes a little loud, with the understanding there is a time and place for everything. Life is too short to be serious all the time.
