Registration Full – Join the Waitlist for our next INSPIRE 8-week online grief support starting May 20^th

I have been blessed by each of you, each beautiful soul that I have had the honour to support and guide in my personal practice, workplaces, and volunteer groups that I serve. I will forever be in awe of your bravery and vulnerability to show up and share pieces of your heart+story ♡

Being able to witness you as you find your way on your grief & healing journey, from experiencing a deeper connection with self, to creating meaningful changes in your life, is what gives my life meaning.

YOU are the reason I continue to be inspired x

Pat is a treasured piece of my grief pilgrimage, and as a lifelong friend she has been such a special part of my healing journey, filling our cherished conversations with love & laughter and most importantly, her understanding ~ for this I am eternally grateful x

As a fellow Prince fan, she likes to remind me of his words:
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called “life”

I have slowly been able to process some of my feelings around my grief. Being able to share my story with another mother who has lost their child has helped more than I can say. Thank you Melissa from the bottom of my heart. With your help I have begun my healing journey … my Grief Pilgrimage.

My most heartfelt thankyou to Melissa for sharing such comforting and healing words. Sometimes her group session was the only thing I had to look forward to that week. Learning and now practicing mindfulness has made a profound difference in how I handle my anxiety and stress.

Melissa has been a light in my life, at a time when I thought I was all alone, she reminds you who you really are, she is curious, asks questions, and then guides you to find your way. If you are ready, you will experience a new life perspective with Melissa.

Melissa is a beautiful and kindhearted soul, and has such a calming presence and intuitive nature. I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone who is grieving, or who needs to make a major life change, or to find more balance in their life.

To know that someone really cares has inspired my grief journey. I am practicing presence, taking small steps, and seeing with new eyes what is truly important to me. Understanding the importance of the mind~body connection, as well as integrating body awareness through her Grief Yin Yoga has changed the way I see and move my body.

Together we are all on a journey called life.

We are a little broken and a little shattered inside. Each one of us is aspiring to make it to the end. None is deprived of pain here and we have all suffered in our own ways.

I think our journey is all about healing ourselves and healing each other in our own special ways.

Let’s just help each other put all those pieces back together and make it to the end more beautifully. Let us help each other survive.
