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.

I was 10 months into grieving my husband when I found Shri on social media and booked a call. Her warmth was immediate, and her process was different than anything I had tried before. This wasn’t just ‘time will heal’ advice. Shri had specific strategies to help me actually move through and lighten my grief. One of the most powerful tools for me helped me identify support that I didn’t realize I have. Shri also helped me with how to ask for that support, even assisting me in talking through exactly what I could say when I did reach out. She also helped me reframe a lot of guilt and regret I carried around the day my husband died, and see it with more compassion. Any time I felt sad, hurt, stuck or confused, all I had to do was send a text and Shri was there once again with support and new ways to reframe what I was feeling. When I first reached out, I felt SO lost. Shri had a map. She had a plan. And she’d walked this path before. Now, I no longer have to navigate this alone. I have a guide. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life.

I lost my wife of almost 30 years to a sudden and unexpected heart attack four years ago. I have talked to dozens of therapists, grief coaches, grief experts, psychiatrists and even joined grief groups and nothing helped. I came across Shri while on Instagram and her posts spoke to me in ways that the other resources didn’t. In our first session together, Shri had insights into my situation that no one else saw. Each session and tool from her ever since has opened my eyes and heart to a path that allows me to process my grief while living my life more fully, all while continuing to honor and love my wife. She has given me the resources to prepare for the heavy trigger days that come up every year and has been available in ways that no other provider has been. Shri is truly transforming my grief, and me!

"I had been taking therapy for a year and I was exhausted of talking about my grief, getting norwhere and still barely surviving each day. I found Shri's 12 weeks program and decided to give myself one more attempt -- And thank god I did. She is the real deal, She has done her homework and knows what she is talking about. Her coaching gave me real tools and breakthroughs. Her progress tracker in particular was hugely helpful for me, to see with evidence that I wasn’t stuck—I was growing even when those grief crashes came.

"I felt completely lost in my grief, I was numbing and functioning through life. I ended up burning out and had to take a disability leave from work for good, That's when a friend connected me to Shri. She helped me make sense of my emotions without judgment and gave me a clear path forward. I was able to reconnect with people around me, make sense of all the 'whys' and 'if onlys'. For the first time, I felt like healing wasn’t just possible—it was happening."

"I thought I had to just live with the heaviness forever, but Shri showed me that moving forward doesn’t mean moving on. She helped me embrace my grief in a way that made space for joy again. This program gave me the permission I didn’t even know I needed. And once you hear her, you start seeing right through the misleading narratives out there around grief education for long-term grievers. "

![Grief Recovery Client Review]()
Please do yourselves a favour and sign up for her program. Allow yourself this support - It is life changing. She FIXED my panic attacks, I had surrendered to a life of medications. I am furious at our medical systems and the grief culture out there but equally grateful that I found her. She is the most wholistic and effective coach out there. Just do it!

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 nervous system needs safety, regulation, and space to process at its own pace.
🌿 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.
