Testimonials
Here is what some of my clients have to say about their experiences working with me.
I worked with Rena in a virtual Grief Recovery group and my life was literally changed forever. When I began, I didn't even know exactly what I was grieving. NEVER did I think it would be as life-changing as it was. Through Rena's excellent facilitation paired with working through the handbook, it eventually became obvious that my relationship with my living mother from childhood carried pain and hurt that needed to be grieved and completed. It was complex since she is living and our relationship today is very different than that of 25 years ago, but the program helped me navigate this healing and allowed me space to acknowledge, process and heal areas I never would have attempted on my own.
Rena was present, aware, patient, attentive and made you feel and know you had the space needed to process the complex emotions that arose and she was truly heaven sent. I couldn't imagine navigating this journey with any other person and I'm so blessed to have had her as my facilitator. I plan on doing this program as often as I can and believe EVERYONE desperately needs it, if they know it or not. - Rhea Fluker, Digital Video Producer
As a creator of children's media, I always aim to create content that is both entertaining and beneficial to my young viewers and their families. Rena's "Helping Children with Loss" class was a game changer. Fundamentally I learned so much about how children not only process grief, but how the adults in their lives can help guide them through the grief process in an emotionally healthy way. The way I now approach loss in my content has radically changed for the better and I am very grateful! Rena was extremely knowledgeable, patient and created an incredibly safe space to learn and ask questions. I highly recommend her! - Daniel Barnes, Children's Television Executive, Cloudco Entertainment
Every one of us experiences powerful loss in our lives. Rena provides empathetic context and tools to move through that loss with kindness, compassion and transparency. Just to be able to identify those feelings as grief or grieving shifts the power back to being able to define your life’s experience without having them define you. And that is an incredible feeling of freedom. Rena manages to be both professional and emotionally available and supportive in a most amazing and healing way. - Emily, Small Business Owner
This is one of the best things I ever did for myself! Grief comes in many forms, affecting our lives for years and we don't deal with it. This grief Support Recovery program deals with all forms of loss not just death. Even ones we never would have thought of, like broken relationships and financial loss. Our lives are one of the most important things on earth. It's important to take care of our minds as well as our bodies. I'm grateful for this course because it made me better mentally and emotionally when it comes to dealing with loss, past pain from family issues, and much more. If you are looking for ways to better your life and get healthier mentally by letting go of pain that you are still dealing with I promise you won't regret it. It will be one of the best investments you've made for yourself. Do it for you. - Ruth, Film Maker
This is a fantastic program taught by a wonderful instructor. Everyone has experienced different types of loss; death divorce moving friendship breakups and we don't deal with loss in healthy ways. I can't express how much growth and healing I experienced from doing this program with Rena. - Stephanie, Data Base Manager
I worked with Rena in her in a Grief Recovery workshop after my divorce. To be honest, I hadn't really dealt with that pain. I just moved forward as a single mom - taking care of my child and as a result, I didn't spend much time on my own healing. In fact, I just bottled up my anger and pushed forward. During our work, I realized some bad patterns that I had, and most surprisingly, I realized that had some old pain and resentment towards my mother than I never addressed.
Working with Rena, we uncovered things that I didn't really expect when I started! And due to this, I began to understand myself in such a deeper way. This resulted in healing in my relationship with my mother and a better co-parenting relationship with my ex.
I would recommend working with Rena because she is so gentle and wise and gives you the space to be yourself and you actually feel like years of baggage is lifted from off your shoulders. - Tiffany, Recruiter
