I have lost my only daughter, confidant and intellectual partner 8 months ago. I am missing her tremendously every second. Participation in this program helped me to be more positive and less angry on issues surrounding her departure. I am still very very sad, but I can plan and manage my life much easier in order to continue my life without the “apple of my eyes.”

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.

My session with Michelle was quite unique and revealing. She helped me understand and heal from some traumatic experiences from the past. My time spent with her also enabled me to look forward to the future without fear or uncertainty of what comes after death.

Michelle has an extremely powerful and special gift of being able to guide someone through this important process in a nurturing, supportive way. For me it was cleansing, uplifting, and empowering. I’m very pleased with the results and am recommending her to others.

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.
