What is Grief Recovery Coaching?
Grieving is NOT the problem! The problem, if you will, is that you have experienced the loss of a love; the loss of a family member or friend; the loss of a job; the loss of hopes or dreams or safety and security. That very real loss event or events, can shake you to your very core and turn your world literally upside down. Grieving is a normal, natural and necessary process and Grief Recovery Coaching facilitates the grieving process.

Grief can be positively facilitated by a skilled professional. Dr. Jackie is your guide, and can be a source of wisdom and comfort as you move along this unfamiliar and sometimes treacherous path. You do not have to do this alone. You can be supported and you can benefit from doing this work with a compassionate and experienced professional.
