Certified Grief Recovery Specialist

After a divorce and subsequent death of her dog in 1992, Amanda participated in the Grief Recovery Method’s 3-day personal workshop, which enabled her to move through these two losses.  Because it gave her the tools / life skills for dealing with her future losses, she wanted to share this life-changing work with others, and completed the Grief Recovery® Certification Program in 1993, qualifying her to moderate this 8-week course.  She also works with individuals and families to assist with losses that have occurred.

She realized that she had been born to a grieving mother, who had also been born to a grieving mother, so grief had generationally become part of her family structure. 
Over the past 30 years, she has “walked the talk” of this program and continues to be in awe of its very simple but powerful tools. In that time she lost both her parents, two more dogs, three “step-cats” and has experienced many other losses of various types including ending of relationships, relocations, job loss, and sale of childhood home in the UK.

In addition to the “purple book” workshops, Amanda is now offering Helping Children With Loss groups for Parents, Teachers, Administrators, Youth focused non-profits, Churches, Social Service Professionals dealing with Foster Care, Adoptions, CPS, or Juvenile Detention.   For more information, please refer to: griefrecoverymethod.com/our-programs/helping-children-loss

What previous clients have said

I now see how my very first loss affected the rest of my life.

Amanda made us feel safe and cared for from the first meeting.

Loved Amanda's perspective, knowledge, compassion and empathy.

Amanda is wise, and compassionate and I would recommend her to work through old or new grief issues.

The group exceeded my expectations.  It was a very valuable experience.

This program has really made me think, and it opened my eyes about just what grief really is and how we all experience grief differently. It has truly been a joy to learn all the concepts.

Walking through this process was not easy, but I felt very relieved when I got through it. Amanda made it so much more comfortable because she did it with me/us. I really appreciate this program and will be using if for a lifetime. Thank yo so much.

I have learned to process my grief. This program helped me to understand the process of grief in an individual and for self growth and maturity. Overall, this process helped me to move past my grief and work on some of my important relationships in my life. Thank you for this process and the life long gift that I have received.

Many times people do not understand the forms of grief and loss we have had during our life experience and the effect and trauma that came from those experiences.

Thank you for the outstanding Grief Recovery program that I've been in for the last 8 weeks, I will continue working on completing other relationships in the future.

This program helped me to touch a very dark place where I couldn't "go alone". Now I am stronger to face my pain so that it doesn't hurt ne any longer.

This work helped me understand and complete a painful relationship, and I have continued to use the process to work on many other relationships. As soon as I feel tweaked, I do a relationship graph and get immediate clarity. Thanks for this!
