Hello I'm Diane. I provide grief support and coaching for people who are experiencing all types of loss. My mission is to help you keep moving forward so you can discover your path back to peace and happiness.
Grief is a heavy journey to walk alone. Many people ask me why I do this work. I do it because I've been there and understand how much grief hurts. We can't escape our loss, but we can choose how we will carry it. Experiencing any type of significant loss is an overwhelming and emotionally painful experience.Many people have prolonged grief disorder or prolonged adjustment disorder and don't even know it. Maybe the person you loved and shared your life with is no longer there or you've lost your job, a beloved pet, experienced numerous miscarriages, been abused, or are ready to retire...whatever your loss, please know that your grief is valid. |

Like many of you, I have experienced all kinds of changes in my life including multiple losses, miscarriages, pet loss, job loss, career change and more. These are my stories and experiences that have taught me to keep moving forward because there is always a way out and alternative course to take.
I have designed my business to help people find support, empowerment and move forward from loss to find that place where they want to be. Let’s move through grief together, because you never have to be alone. Heartache to Happiness. |

Why Work With a Coach?The difference between Grief Coaching and CounselingLet me start by saying that the grief recovery program or any of my services is not therapy, it’s not counseling, and it’s not an alternative treatment. Whilst these services can benefit you and offer you a path to discovery of the thoughts and feelings you have around the loss in your life, it is very different from recovery.
They will not give you the tools and skills that will lead you to completion of all the things left unresolved when you have a loss, and unresolved grief is the underlying cause in so many people. When followed in order, as a series of small steps, the grief recovery program leads you to completion of all unresolved business linked to the loss. My service with Grief Coaching and Hypnotherapy will also assist you when you are:
A quick summary:Traditional psychotherapists address the patient’s history, family dynamics and psyche damage. They attempt to root out any and all casual damage and then find alternative ways for the patient to cope with or overcome any issues.
A Grief Coach and Hypnotherapist will guide and support their clients through the recovery and healing of their grief. They help their clients work on their goals for the future and create a new life path. Coaches and clients work in a less structured environment and work as a team and just like counselling, it is private and confidential. |

I learned a lot about grief and loss in my 7 week, one to one, Grief Recovery program.
Grief isn’t just about death or divorce- It has made me much more aware of my relationships- past and present. And most likely will help me in the future! It has helped me to be more aware of how I react/ respond to situations and people in my life. I think it has helped me become stronger- and definitely more in tune with my self talk- and how I can actually change it, if need be. It was a really good experience even though there were a few moments that were hard for me to talk about. But I am happy I completed the program- and I will actually continue to use what I’ve learned.

I reached out to Diane when I was going thru a separation from my husband of 18 years. I did her grief recovery program. Diane held my hand thru the process, it was not easy but she made me feel supported throughout the process. Finishing her program I gained a sense of freedom. I highly recommend her program for anyone that is ready to deal with their loss. Thank you Diane!

Di reached out to me last year after I started to suffer from anxiety, something which I hadn’t experienced before. I had to leave a job I loved and as a result found that I was bitter, resentful, miserable and very very low. I felt I couldn’t cope with feeling overwhelmed, My self esteem was rock bottom and I didn’t like who I had become. I will always be so thankful to Di, she enabled me to recognize that I had a choice. I was choosing the way I was reacting to past and present losses but I totally didn’t realize this. I was blaming everyone else. I realized I hadn’t grieved properly throughout my life - my parents splitting up, losing my first child, losing loved ones, my children growing up... I was looking at moving from my job in isolation rather than an accumulation of all-consuming, unresolved grief. The program gave me tools to take back control... I feel empowered and Di gave me strategies for life. Start grieving and start living... Xxxx

I highly recommend Diane's work with Grief. She is compassionate and teaches deep skills that one can take into any area of their life that feel tricky or unsettled. I am grateful that I had the courage and curiosity to reach out. I grew to understand myself in a new way, and I have processed underlying grief that I didn't even know was holding me back from a more complete life. I am forever thankful.

I came to Diane to see if I could find myself. For such a long time I had been immersed in so much pain and grief, and I confess the thought of facing it felt very scary to me. But the moment I stepped into Diane’s office I was immediately put at ease. Diane helped me to feel confident and together we moved through the Grief Recovery Program. She assured me there was nothing wrong with me, that grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind and that I was not to worry about which grief I would tackle first. I felt safe and heard, I trusted the process and I trusted Diane and I was successful in recognizing my incomplete and unresolved grief. I now have a new platform of thought and a potentially different way to live, of which I’m excited to explore. A big hug.

I lost my most beloved pet dog in December of 2021. I was devastated. I felt the same grief that I had experienced when my dad died in 2001! Thankfully I had a conversation with Diane where she mentioned unresolved grief. Unlike psychotherapy, Grief Recovery is a tried-and-true process. Clear and concise, seven weeks of exploration. I began by identifying my first conscious memory. The process guided through the many losses during my lifetime. This might sound overwhelming, yet I discovered that with true forgiveness, the tangled feelings simply unraveled. I am so grateful to Diane for her gentle guidance. I now have the educational tools I need in my toolbox! Forgiveness is truly liberating."
