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.

Michelle Peticolas came into my life at the exact moment it was falling apart.  My mother was dying, my brother was wrecking havoc with his alcoholism, and I was having a recurrence of a medical condition attributable to stress.  Michelle was constant and unwavering in her conviction that I had the tools to handle the obstacles in my path.  She was able to reframe difficulties into spiritual challenges.  So total is her groundedness in ecstatic tradition that she was able to lift me up beside her to soar.  Michelle’s work is a gift to the world.

When I first started Michelle’s program, I felt so angry and frustrated with my life. I  was still grieving the loss of my wife 5 years ago and I was stuck. But I really questioned spending the money because there are a lot of other things I could have done with it. Now that I’m finished, I can say that working with Michelle was totally worth it. I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. I am more confident and more open with my feelings. I have a clear plan of what my next steps are and what I need to do to keep this happening. I know I’m going to be ok.
