The Grief Breakthrough™ Method
The Grief Breakthrough™ Method: Navigating Grief with Compassion, Science, and Structure
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and no two experiences are alike. Yet, there are universal truths in the process of healing.
After years of lived experience, deep study, and supporting hundreds of grievers, I created the Grief Breakthrough™ Method—
A practical, compassionate, evidence-informed method that meets you where you are and gives you real tools to heal.
All my coaching programs and resources are built on this foundation. It offers compassionate judgement-free support—plus relief that sticks, tools you can actually use, and a clear path forward when grief has left everything feeling uncertain.
And it all begins with three core pillars:
The Three Pillars of Grief Breakthrough™ Method
-
Grief Isn't A Disorder
It’s not a diagnosis or something to be fixed. It’s a natural, human response to the loss of someone or something deeply important. The guilt, anger, fear, anxiety—these aren’t symptoms of dysfunction or illness. They don’t need just medicines—they need to be felt, explored, and made sense of with care
By being human, you already have what it takes to heal in grief.
-
Grief is Not Just Emotional—It Affects the Body, Mind & Spirit
We grieve with our whole being.
A grieving body needs compassionate care. A grieving brain needs structure, simplicity, and control. A grieving spirit needs enduring connection and meaning.
Good support should tend to all three.
-
Healing Doesn't Take Forever and it is Not About Letting Go
Healing isn’t about rushing—but it isn’t endless either.
With the right structure, support, and tools, it’s possible to move from surviving to living—a life that honors both your love and makes space for meaning, peace, and joy.

Have you ever had a moment where the weight of grief eased—just for a second? Maybe you felt a little lighter, experienced a brief sense of okayness, or even smiled.
