Transforming Grief Into Growth

Published Author of "Wisdom from the Widowed" | Qualified Counsellor & Energy Healer

Grief is a deeply personal journey that affects every aspect of your being. Whether you're navigating the loss of a loved one, relationship changes, health challenges, or significant life transitions, I provide compassionate guidance to help you move from surviving to thriving whilst honouring what you've lost.

About Maria's Grief Expertise

Widowed in 2006 whilst 12 weeks pregnant, I intimately understand the complexities of navigating profound loss. With over 17 years of experience as a grief and loss expert, I've dedicated my career to guiding individuals through their most challenging times.

Armed with a Bachelor's degree in counselling and specialised studies in grief and bereavement, I've worked extensively in private practice, support groups, online forums, and retreats. My holistic approach combines counselling with energy healing, addressing the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of grief.

My HEAL Framework:

Your Path to Renewed Wholeness

Honour Your Experience - Create compassionate space to acknowledge how grief has reshaped your identity and relationships

Embrace Transformation - Open to the possibility of who you might become, even when feeling lost and disconnected

Align With New Purpose - Transform your grief experience into deeper insight and meaning that honours both past and future

Live Forward With Wholeness - Carry forward what matters most whilst creating space for new joy and connection

How Holistic Sessions Work

Your session begins with counselling, where you can discuss your grief as much or as little as feels comfortable. Following this, we transition into energy healing work, where you'll lie comfortably whilst I guide you through a process that allows you to subconsciously acknowledge, feel, process, and release layers of grief you may be holding.

The energy healing works with your limbic system, vagus nerve, and nervous system, as well as your physical and energy bodies, to facilitate deep healing. We conclude with a debrief to discuss insights and any recommended practices for between sessions.

Online Sessions Available

Receive the same quality of care from the comfort of your own home. Online holistic counselling via secure video calls provides accessible support regardless of your location. Distance energy healing works just as effectively as in-person sessions, often allowing you to feel more relaxed and open in your familiar environment.

Grief is like a butterfly while changes are taking place; the caterpillar is very vulnerable and must stay safe in a cocoon. As time goes by, we don’t need that protective cocoon so much we want to spread our wings
