I really enjoyed being in Michelle’s group. Even though the other members were much older and no one had young children like me, I found common ground with everyone and I got a lot from it.  I especially appreciated Michelle — her comfort, insights, connections, the opportunity she gave me to go deep and explore the spiritual side.  I think she’s wonderful.

I was in a grief group for people who lost their spouses with Michelle Peticolas. I loved the way she facilitated the group with compassion, love, and kindness. She didn’t use the old paradigm of control to facilitate the group. Everyone had time to share and everyone felt heard and cared for. She is a deep and awakened person, which I appreciated.

I felt this was the reason that I was able to move through my grief in a healthy and compassionate way and I was able to find another person to love me in a way that I have never been loved before because I learned to allow them to love, nurture and care for me in a way that I couldn’t before this group.

I thank Michelle so much for this wonderful experience and I would recommend her either for group or individual consulting to move through grief in a positive, healthy and compassionate way.

I dreamed of committing time to reflect upon my spiritual and emotional journey. I wanted to explore my life’s purpose and deepen my understanding of certain events in my life. I had no idea that my work with Dr. Peticolas on grief and loss would also illuminate patterns that kept me from having a loving, forgiving and compassionate relationship with myself. Through Michelle’s gentle, thoughtful and non-judgmental approach, I have been able to review my life’s more darker circumstances and events and use them to make more insightful and mindful choices, not only about how I am showing up for others in my life, but more importantly, how I am showing up for myself.
