A NOTE FROM LISA:

It is through my experience of navigating my life's greatest challenge that my heart is continually called to support the bereaved community, as well as educate their support networks. I became a bereaved mom in April 2017, after the fatal diagnosis and subsequent death of my infant daughter, Ari.

I knew my daughter’s short life served a purpose bigger than my pain. Ari’s life and death changed my heart forever.

After working with experts in the field of grief and bereavement, prioritizing my overall wellness, and putting in the challenging 'grief work' to find healing, I felt called to help other bereaved parents rediscover and reconstruct life as they navigate life after loss.

It was my experience, and as I speak with other grievers I see a commonality, that there is a lack of consistent and constructive resources as our grief continues and our support from family and friends begins to fade. I became a certified Life Coach through the Institute of Life Coach Training specializing in grief and bereavement. My mission is to facilitate a culture and community of continuous support with opportunities to help grievers honor their loved ones’ lives by honoring their own lives.

As a grief wellness coach, I developed and launched an online grief support program and offered group coaching with an emphasis on overall wellness. The online program and community within facilitated a safe, yet productive space for grievers. This program quickly led to a vision of hosting events, uniting grievers for an impactful experience.

I am honored and consider it a gift to share my daughter’s life and legacy through my work. I can now see my grief as a gift, a continued connection to Ari.
