I have high praise for the Grief Recovery Method training for its intensive and hands-on approach to healing grief. Through Sandi's amazing training, I learned not only about my own personal healing, but I am now equipped with the tools to help others. I was most impressed that the training effectively addressed various types of loss, from dealing with death to relationship breakdowns, to career setbacks. The Certification training provided me with a structured path to emotional healing and ultimately, well-being.

Sandi is a gem! Truly! Despite this being an online training experience, her empathy, professionalism and ability to remain present throughout this intensive program were remarkable. The content and method were brilliant but her delivery was EXCEPTIONAL!

The compassion, modeling and knowledge realized and transferred from Sandi in training was exceptional.
Certification Training08/12/2025
The Certification Training was in-depth, revelatory, and extremely well organized. Most importantly for me, though, was Sandi's authenticity and stable, compassionate presence. She and every student were honest, open, and vulnerable while following instructions perfectly for holding space (heart with ears/no mouth ;-) Because of them, I was able to feel safe and be open, genuine, and vulnerably honest as well which helped me experience personally how powerful, and healing The Grief Recovery Method is and will be for my clients (and my own future completions). I experienced a profound internal shift and release that was so unexpected, and SO needed! I feel free! I am deeply grateful for this training and Sandi's leadership, modeling, and mentoring abilities.

Heart language is true language and we all have learned to speak it and hold the space for others to do the same. This weekend was absolutely invaluable. I feel so loved and seen and valued and I hope I can make others feel the same. My journey is just starting to expand in ways I can only give glory to God for. The timing of this whole experience is nothing short of divine.

On the fence about becoming a certified Grief Recovery Specialist? If you want to help people heal from the pain of loss, then I can say with 100% confidence, both by doing the Grief Recovery Method myself, AND now being certified, that this training delivered the most professional, practical & precise information and tool out there for taking people from in pain & stuck to relieved and free. Definitely the best investment I me, and others, that i've ever made.

This training is absolutely life changing. I have done talk therapy, IFS and DBR and nothing has removed the pain from my loss like GRM has. I look forward to doing more work with this method on myself and helping others to do the same. Such a valuable tool

While attending the GRM Certification Training I was struck by how knowledgeable the Trainers were! The whole experience was professional and included an environment of safety and competency. I am amazed at how much I learned and how much support is available moving forward. Thank you very much for this incredible experience.

Helping others has been a cornerstone to my loss recovery from losing my girls in a murder suicide. This training has helped me take the next step in my own journey, and has provided me with invaluable resources to continue helping others navigate their grief.

This is a training unlike any other. My instructor, Sandi was amazing and made it easy to stay engaged. I came in thinking I would be focusing on the loss of my husband as the personal experience I would sort through and ended up releasing a totally different type of loss. This method works and I wish I would've found it sooner. I cannot wait to share this method with others.
