David Kessler – Certified Grief Educator
Certified Excellence – Grief Coaching
A Journey of Healing, Compassion, and Calling!
Grief isn’t something to be fixed—it’s something to be held, honored, and gently walked through. I know this not just professionally, but personally.
My journey through grief has included profound losses: miscarriage, the painful estrangement from my parents, and the unimaginable loss of my 17-year-old son. These heartbreaks changed me—and deepened my empathy for others navigating their own grief journeys.
After my son’s passing, I found comfort and guidance in the work of David Kessler, a renowned grief expert whose teachings helped me begin to heal. His work impacted me so deeply that I became a certified Grief Educator through his program. This, combined with my lived experience, has shaped my approach as a grief coach today.
Grief coaching isn’t just a profession for me—it’s a calling.
I’ve also been a foster parent, a role that opened my heart to the resilience of children who’ve experienced trauma. Supporting them—and learning from them—reinforced my commitment to help individuals and families heal and grow with compassion and faith.
My professional path began in a very different place, as a Certified Public Accountant. But after adopting our children, I shifted careers to provide daycare, nurturing little ones during their most formative years. These experiences laid the foundation for the deep, heartfelt work I do now.
Whether you’re mourning a loved one, facing ambiguous loss, or navigating complex family grief, I’m here to walk beside you—with empathy, understanding, and hope.
