Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
Even for a counseling professional I found this material relevant and refreshingly new! A very concise, clear, and practical approach to managing grief and emotions in order to find peace.

I have had multiple losses to which I had a hard time compartmentalizing on how each means to me. This class was so amazing to focus on each one individually and to listen to my heart on how my emotions have been playing into my life. These tools will be helpful to others that I will be meeting with as well. Grief is all around us. It is how we speak in order to heal. Thank you for an amazing training.

I have never completed a training program without questioning whether the money spent was a good investment. I am happy to have paid $2195 for this training; and I don't like paying for things. Awesome instructor!!! Knowledgeable and approachable. She helped create a wonderful environment for trainees to work (and play?).

Several year ago I went through your Grief Recovery program for a loss. Afterwards, it stayed in the back of my mind that I wanted to help others with their grief and this was the approach that I wanted to use. 2016 was my year to accomplish this. The training was amazing. Becky Rae - Houston

The Grief Recovery Method helped me to identify the multiple losses in my life that caused me to realize that the loss I thought I had to process was not the heart of the problem, it was the final straw. I was able to process events and losses that allowed me to complete the "the loss" and move forward. I was at a point where I was able to function at survival mode only, the darkness and depression were overwhelming me. I have my life and my light back, I am functional again. I've also been able to complete a loss that I was not aware was bothering me

I was pleased to find that The Grief Recovery Method is practical and easy to implement. Going into The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training, I was worried that the method would be too rigid to apply to the work I am already doing, or that it wouldn't translate when working with the populations my program serves. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tools and principles are relevant, action-oriented, and common sensical. I am also grateful to have learned the method through modeling and working on my personal losses; because I have been through it, I have no doubt that it will be deeply impactful for the people I am now able to help. Thank you!

You learn GRM by experiencing your own griefs. You don't have to loose somebody or something by death. I understood that I was one of grievers after my divorce. It was really impressive since I recover from the loads on my shoulders.

The Certification Training was not what I had expected...........and for this I am truly grateful!! :) I was prepared to start "working" and assisting clients, but one must work on self first...and I was able to "complete" grief and loss from my past that was hidden deep within my belief system. I was able to come from a place of "truth" in a safe environment, thank you for being apart of "my" life changing event both personally and professionally.

Over my life time, I have experienced many losses. The most recent was the end of a 35 year marriage through separation. This method assisted me towards the completion of my feelings of loss.

This training felt like a pyramid or ponzi scheme. I spent a lot of money and walked away with nothing learned and nothing that I can use as a professional who is legally held accountable to my professional regulatory body.

Grief Recovery Method is a great systematic approach to the grief process, creating a common page for participants to write upon, and enter and end the process uniformally with specific outcomes achieved.

Before participating the Grief Recovery Certification Training, I had long struggled with the concepts of forgiveness and compassion in my life with people that I've had painful experiences with. I had long sensed that my feelings were not being heard or honored and I had a lot of pain and anger from this. In the course of the training, the myths of forgiveness and compassion were expressed and I felt like I FINALLY had the missing pieces on how to forgive and be compassionate, in ways that honored my feelings and didn't negate my experiences. I could physically feel some of the pain I had long carried be released from my body as I worked through the Grief Recovery Method during my training process. I look forward to continuing with the process and releasing the built up resentments and grief in my life so I can be free to access more joy in my life.

Laura understands all too well that grief must be taught and understood by the heart and not by the intellect. She is an outstanding teacher precisely because not only does she make sure that her students learn the importance of not intellectualizing grief but teaches with an understanding and compassionate heart. Laura has that rare combination of covering an enormous amount of knowledge in a four day workshop slow enough so it is not confusing while keeping a pace that makes it fun and interesting to learn. There is no doubt in this student’s mind that Laura is doing her calling. Her teaching has touched my life. For this I am forever grateful. If you have an opportunity to attend her workshop on grief recovery, take it! You will never regret it!! Truly a magical learning experience!!!

Ashley is the most amazing facilitator. She has a true passion for Grief Recovery and speaks from the heart. She is open to self disclosure which is very powerful! I learned so much from Ashley and I am so happy I had my training facilitated by her. Having completed a loss of my own through the training I am 10x more competent do go out and do this work. Although we all have our unique experiences with loss I will be able to empathize to the challenges my clients may face while on the journey to finding completion!

This training completely blew my heart and mind wide open. The Grief Recovery Method is by far the most revolutionary way to heal grief and loss and to teach people how to successfully complete relationships and get back to living and loving life after grief and loss. Ashley is the most phenomenal trainer and truly shared not just her knowledge but her incredible heart and passion for this work. I am forever grateful to have been through the training and cannot wait to bring this to everyone that I can. This is one of the most beneficial trainings I could think of for allowing people to fully heal after loss of any kind. Thank you so much for this amazing transformation and the work you do in the world.

The training exceeded my expectations. Although mildly skeptical that this process and the course content would be much different than previous grief training I have had, I found the Grief Recovery Method to be extremely helpful and effective. Not only was a I personally able to complete a relationship during this training, I learned the skills needed to complete others. Now I am very confident that I can take this process and provide individuals and groups with the tools they need to move forward. Thank you!

I thoroughly recommend the Grief Recovery Training for anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge around bereavement and loss. This course demonstrates real tools that work.

This training was very helpful as a Bereavement Coordinator at a hospice. The concepts have strengthened my knowledge to guide others through their grief.

I am so pleased that I completed this certification course. Not only has the Grief Recovery Method helped me with losses in my life, I now feel equipped to reach out and help others. The instructor was not only knowledgeable, but also very passionate about teaching us how to help others recover from their losses.
