How it started
Meet Tina, Professional Grief Coach
Tina is a Nurse Practitioner trained in Psychotherapy, who is also a grief expert. With over 20 years in healthcare experience, Tina has treated patients across the lifespan. After the devastating death of her son, Tina became interested in finding ways to cope with grief more effectively. Traditional grief services and therapy offerings failed to meet her needs while she was acutely grieving, as she felt disconnected to the process and as if the timelines did not match her ever changing moods and feelings.
Tina developed the idea of grief coaching through her own personal experience, and offers specialized therapeutic exercises which help to navigate through specific emotions. Tina personally uses these same principles and exercises to manage her emotions and expectations, allowing her to eventually find some peace. Tina’s peace comes from being able to remember her son as the amazing person he was on earth, while finding ways to continue to honor his memory and accomplish tasks she feels would make him proud.
Our Approach
Complete Grief Care was designed to offer help to anyone who might be struggling with grief. The concept of Complete Grief Care allows Tina to coach clients in a self-paced program which facilitates healing, on their own timeline. Complete Grief Care offers individuals a safe place to discuss their loved one, offer and receive hope and support to others, and to utilize proven methods based on therapeutic principles to relieve some of the crushing weight of grief. Significantly less expensive than traditional therapy, Complete Grief Care offers exercises and tools to choose from to process emotions and reprogram the brain, assisting in navigating a new life without your loved one physically next to you.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Complete Grief Care is to provide coaching through the grief process, enabling those in need to find peace through their grief, while honoring their loved one.
