I appreciated Michelle’s kind words and found them soothing. I also learned that it’s ok to cry. I’m Filipino and I was brought up to believe it was not ok to cry.

I feel very fortunate to have had Michelle as the facilitator of my grief support group. Michelle is a compassionate, knowledgeable guide who helped me enormously in the first year of my journey through grief.  She has a grounding presence, which is so important for someone whose world has just been shattered. She helped me understand and get perspective about the many upsetting experiences and feelings that accompany loss. I highly recommend her to people coping with grief.

Michelle was of great help in guiding me through the grieving process. Her experience and knowledge of grief and its process, helped to validate my feelings. With her warm, sensitive and gentle approach to healing, I felt heard and understood.  She helped me to see where I was in my grieving and assisted me to take the steps I needed to move forward.  She has a novel approach to understanding grief and how it can be a transformational platform for life changes.  I strongly recommend her for her skillful and caring approach to extremely difficult life events.  She is a true gem!
