About Us

Thank you for considering Pathway Grief Recovery.

Pathway Grief Recovery was born out of a desire to come alongside and hold space for people who have experienced life-changing loss and are stuck in deep, unresolved grief.

Working through grief and loss is not a path you should walk alone. We are meant to help one another navigate the struggles that often leave us without direction.

How We Got Started

After the death of my husband, I knew that I could not sit in deep grief and expect to live the same life that I had before. I furiously sought a solution that would bring me to the surface where I could breathe again. I was determined to work this out on my own. And I did until I couldn't anymore.

Enter the Grief Recovery Method.

I. Am. Proof. That. This. Works.

Through a series of action steps and a plan to regain my life, I moved forward and was finally free of grief's pain. I am vibrant and alive once more. It feels incredible to have that heaviness lifted and move forward in life.
The Grief Recovery Method is not a program where you sit in your grief week after week and let it gnaw away at your life. It is a program that equips you with tools proven to help you do and be better in your heart and mind.

Through one-on-one meetings or in a group setting, I will coach you through evidence-based action steps that remove the pain of grief, enabling you to move forward.

Through my work managing federal education grants at the university level, I can tell you that the greed, deceit, and entitlement associated with government handouts is astounding. The amount of fraud, waste, and abuse is mind boggling. The double and triple dipping in federally funded programs is obscene.  ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help’ is the most frightening thing to hear.

(more) Yes!!  I have just started using drip campaigns and they are becoming the most effective part of my business plan.  Here's the catch...I don't use email!!  I have found that people either don't read emails or read and delete.  My drip campaigns are through a fantastic texting service called Project Broadcast. I have a dedicated business number (that I chose) and can send about 500 texts for $10. I can set up my own templates, add graphics, and add current customers and prospects to campaigns designed specifically for them.  Face it -- everyone usually has their phone with them.  Not everyone checks email on their phone, but a text they will read and a very high percentage of people that I contact respond.  Through their responses I am able to start a more personal conversation.Check out Project Broadcast here to see if it is a good fit for your company!https://www.projectbroadcast.c...

Pet peeve #1: A sales rep that sees the need to belittle or denigrate other companies or sales reps from those companies.
