These personalized sessions offer a safe, confidential space to explore your grief at your own pace.

This gives you my undivided attention while you learn new tools to heal and grow.
Group Sessions
Whether attending a Support Circle or participating in the Grief Recovery Method Program, joining a group helps build community and meaningful connections. It provides a supportive environment where grievers can address their emotions, share experiences, and foster a sense of belonging.

Helping Seniors Through Loss
The Helping Seniors Through Loss workshop is not intended for seniors themselves, but is designed to equip families and retirement home staff with the tools and understanding needed to support seniors as they face the vast changes in their lives. This workshop teaches caregivers to assist in addressing the complexities of grief and loss in later life.
Art and Nature Sessions
In these group sessions, we explore grief through creative expression and connection with nature—spaces where words aren't always necessary. Sometimes, emotions run deeper than language can reach, and art or time outdoors offers a powerful way to process what we're feeling. Through gentle guidance and shared experience, participants find new ways to express, release, and connect—with themselves, others, and the natural world around them.

"The program, with the amazing help of my facilitator Megan Heil, taught me the method and tools I have been missing to find completion with my relationships and help me recognize and work through my grief. Because of the help I received, I can now have more open conversations about grief, and my anxiety has lessened as well! I would, and have, recommended the Grief Recovery Method to so many people!"
