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 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 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!

While working with Michelle, I discovered she has the integrity like no other person in my entire 40+ years of experience working with other life coaches, therapists, spiritual teachers, etc. She does what she says and sticks to her word like no other. Her boundaries are firm and straightforward, yet she bends “softly” at the right moment when I need her to hear me at a deep humane and spiritual level. After my feeling betrayed by other coaches, therapists, and yoga teachers throughout my life, Michelle has restored my faith in her as a conscientious, aware, and human healer. That is a good start for me.
