Tami Dowd, PCC, MEd

Tami has a background in healthcare in behavior modification, wellness, business leadership, and for the past 20 years she has been a transformational leadership, career, and performance coach. Tami has a passion for helping people in all walks of life through messy life transformations. She combines her vast behavior modification and international coaching experience with her recent Grief Recovery Method Specialist certification to create a sacred space and experience for people to recover and renew their sense of self. At an early age, Tami realized that the trauma she experienced early in life was not only not safe to speak about, it was encouraged to keep secrets. As she delved into her own personal transformation journey as part of her coach training, she uncovered massive amounts of grief and loss that was holding her back in life. Giving voice to her pain of the loss of safety and trust was a significant aspect of her healing journey. Working with thousands of individuals as a certified transformation coach, she saw patterns in others that she recognized as grief and began inviting them to share about losses that were limiting them from living the life they desired. Tami researched grief programs and training, took many classes from the Portland Institute for Grief and Loss, this confirmed her desire to find a comprehensive program she could then facilitate with others. In the summer of 2022, Tami embraced her dream of helping others in grief and loss with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist certification. Tami holds a master’s degree in physiology as well as being a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) - International Coaching Federation (ICF) , Certified Leadership Coach, Certified Facilitator, and Certified Wellness Coach with 20+ years of coaching people in all walks of life, at all organizational levels, creating a safe place to reflect, reframe, and renew themselves personally and professionally.
