Michelle has a very tender thoroughness that goes straight to the heart of emotional inquiry. I felt validated and encouraged to pull the diamonds of truth from the grief still remaining. She gave me encouragement to keep moving in the direction of forgiveness.

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.

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.
