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.

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!

Before working with Michelle, I was struggling with past relationships and the grief around letting them go. I did not realize that in hanging on to all the painful memory, I was trying to stay connected to people who were no long a part of my present life. As a consequence, I had no energy to put into my work and all aspects of my life were suffering. Michelle is like a wise elder sister. She helped me to celebrate my little achievements as well as the big steps. She encouraged me to believe in myself and gently and lovingly nudged me to move forward in my life, one step at a time. I am grateful that I found her when I needed her most. Her insights are full of wisdom and helped me heal my past and to let it go.

I knew when I signed up that I would be helped to accept the loss of my partner. I had no idea how you were going to achieve that. Today I am amazed at where I am. I have come so much further where I can look to the future with anticipation. I was really resistant to the idea of “closure” but you made it so engaging and fun. John is not gone, he is always with me.
