Michele Tomasicchio, Life Coach

Hello Beautiful Soul, The grief experienced from a loss can be unbearable, keeping you stuck in a negative loop, and affecting areas of your life you had no idea it was having a negative impact. My name is Michele Tomasicchio. I currently live in Gardiner, NY. I’ve had many losses over my life and two experiences were keeping me from living fully. The first loss was when my “star”, my aunt Mimi, died suddenly from a brain aneurysm. I called her my star because she was my person. She was warm, kind, loving, and my cheerleader. And then she left this planet. I could not process her death and experienced such sadness. The second loss was three years after my aunt died. My husband died unexpectedly and suddenly on a cold, November evening. At that moment my world was rocked, instantly, and forever changed. Traditional methods - grief therapy and grief support groups - helped me intellectualize these losses however they did not resolve the emotional pain I experienced in my heart that lasted days, months, and years following these losses. I was experiencing not only emotional pain but also physical symptoms due to the grief. I knew, as a massage therapist and craniosacral practitioner that if I did not resolve the pain I was experiencing inside, it could easily manifest into illness and disease. I experienced severe panic attacks, at night, that would prompt me to call 911 because I thought I was dying. I had insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, loss of concentration, lack of energy, zero motivation, and picked up unhealthy habits. When I discovered the Grief Recovery Method® I was finally able to release the emotional pain I had been carrying from these losses. After completing the program my life changed for the better. The physical symptoms disappeared. I felt like I was able to rebuild my life and focus on self-care. I chose to become a Grief Recovery Method Specialist because the process works and I wanted to be able to help others heal the unresolved pain experienced from a loss. I feel honored and privileged to walk with grievers through the Grief Recovery Method and to create a safe space, where they can take the steps to truly feel better, no matter the loss. I offer free workshops about the myths and misunderstandings about grief. I offer one-on-one support and group support in-person or online via Zoom. I walk with people who have experienced loss - death, divorce, pet loss, financial change, health changes, and more.
