About Lori

As an Operations Coordinator for a local non profit, a lead pastor of a small congregation, a grandmother of 13 and a natural caregiver; my journey to GRM has been both life changing and life saving! My career has allowed me the opportunity to serve over 30 years in ministry and 25 plus in the non profit sector. I am most passionate about helping women to discover their God given potential, while equipping them with the tools to live life on purpose, with purpose. Through the loss of a marriage that I was committed to, the death of both my parents and the loss of trust (due primarily to failed businesses) GRM became the one constant in assisting me with moving beyond the many losses to a place of healing. I persaonlly agree with the saying that the only pain worse than change is the pain of remaining the same! The GRM process brought healing and hope to my life in such a way that I wanted to be a catalyst to offering that same impactful life changing experience to others; mostly through the 8-week GRM and the 4 week” When Children Grieve” . I primarily serve the Greater Akron, Summit County, OHIO community but will travel NEO and beyond.

My Experience

Lori paved the way by demonstrating vulnerability by sharing her own story. This created a safe environment to share our own stories with other. She responded with warmth and empathy and promoted emotional healing. The class was just what I needed so I could process my grief. I was able to honor my love for my sister and release some of the pain.

My Experience

I feel that the program helped me identify that many of my behaviors are grief related. It helped me to understand that in many of my personal relationships it’s good to sit down and identify the good and the bad, and two except responsibility for your faults so that you can release them. Making the lifetime line and your life’s events timeline helped to bring things to the surface that you had forgotten. And I’ve never been one for writing letters to people who aren’t going to read them, but I definitely think it helped and I will be using this method moving forward.
