As a keynote speaker: I am a suicide prevention and postvention speaker. My target audience are associations related to mental health, such as National Association of Mental Health, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, mental health professionals. State departments of public health for suicide prevention and awareness. Human resources departments.
As a grief specialist: At this point in their grief journey, they are questioning how they will live without their child. They want someone who has experienced the same pain to walk beside them, share with them the tools and resources I use. They see me as an example and want what I have – peace, joy, and happiness.
My personal experience speaks for itself. I lost one child in 1991 and another in 2018. In between, my losses have been immense; parents, sister, family. Some to suicide, some to cancer. I survived all this and am still here to share with others how to do it. I developed the 3 Phases to Move through Grief to Healing, which is a process that is 100% responsible for my recovery.
I can relate to their experience. I work with others to help me get through my suffering. I am very transparent and don’t claim to be perfect. I still experience waves of grief.
I bring together a variety of tools and resources from business coaches, personal development, being an entrepreneur, all lessons that can be applied to grief.
