"I'm super excited to have this additional tool in my toolbox of transformation to help grieving parents help themselves"
My son passed 8 1/2 years ago. As a holistic practitioner I knew enough to know that I didn't want to be influenced by anyone else's story. I wanted to have my own experience of grief and heal in a holistic way. I had no idea the journey that lay ahead.
Doing my best to not be influenced by outside forces, 2 statements struck my heart: Parents never get better after the passing of a child. And the 2nd year is worse than the first. I said to myself - Not me, this can not be my experience.
Applying every knowing and healing process and technique I could to this journey facilitated an ongoing experience of healing yet still I remained in the grief world. I asked my self what more could I do? Almost 8 years of grieving and though SO much better, I wanted to wake in the morning without that pit in my stomach reminding me that my son had passed and I lived in the grief world.
I knew if there was an answer it had to lie in the spirit or mind aspect of self. My Physical and Emotional were clear but there are so many unknowns to the spiritual and subconscious mind aspects of self. I asked for universal guidance which led me to Mindvalley and ultimately Paul McKenna and the Certified Hypnotherapy Course. Even though grief was not a focus of the course, I knew enough to apply the trainings to my grief journey.
As a Holistic Practitioner and Certified Health Coach who has spent 8 years helping other grieving parents, I'm super excited to have this additional tool in my toolbox of transformation to help grieving parents help themselves in their healing journey.
