Client Testimonials

Grief Group

"The loss of my beloved husband has been a grief, like nothing before.  He was my world, my everything. At first, I was hesitant to deal with this heavy pain in a group setting. But as each person shared, I began to identify with their stories and pain and realized that the pain I was feeling was “normal”.  I was not alone.   The healing power of the group has been a gift.  The experience has helped me identify “triggers" and coping mechanisms. You have held my hand as I walked my grief journey. You have encouraged and inspired me to keep taking baby steps forward.  Sharing in this group is medicine for the soul."

~ Vesna 2024

"This program offered a rare space where grief was acknowledged and met with empathy and understanding in a world that often asks us to carry our burdens in silence.

From my first meeting with the group, I felt a sense of belonging that I had not anticipated. Each of us brought our own stories of loss, yet we found common ground in our shared experiences of pain and remembrance. We came together not because we wished to forget those we had lost but because we sought a way to honour their memory, even amid our sorrow."

Grief Workshop

Divorce - One-to-One Sessions

One on One Sessions

"When divorce shattered my life unexpectedly and I wasn’t sure how I would survive, let alone give birth and care for my other young children, Julia was there. With calm compassion and constant reassurance, she walked with me through the depths of my grief. In our 1-on-1 sessions, she gave me space to process while entering into my pain but ensuring I never lost sight of hope for my future.  Over time, I was guided back to hope and life again."

~ Kate 2025
