Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Loss and grief are a part of life-we experience them because we live and love, because we care. If you feel stuck and alone in grief and loss, I can travel with you providing support and guidance. Sometimes we may need help being with the parts of us that feel sad. Getting to the other side of grief and loss is not about forgetting the loss, it is about being richer in living for having lost.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Grief can affect the whole person: thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, identity, boundaries, and how someone understands themselves and the world after loss.
As a certified grief coach with formal education in thanatology and multiple grief-specific certifications, I support adults dealing with loss in plain, practical, human language. Clients have room to speak honestly about what they are thinking, feeling, doing, questioning, and carrying.
I also provide grief education and practical tools, so clients can better understand their reactions, reduce overwhelm, set boundaries, communicate needs, and manage daily life after loss. My support is compassionate, direct, and grounded in grief education rather than psychobabble or one-size-fits-all advice.

Grief
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Many of my clients have come to me to get over the loss of someone whether through breakup, divorce, or death. Even when loss isn't the primary reason for them seeking my help, it is often something impacting the issue at hand. In all cases I have been able to help my clients let go and move forward. In hypnosis, we can have people speak with someone who has passed on, whether it is to exchange some final goodbyes, get love and support, resolve some old dispute or trauma. I've had several clients who had trouble letting go after a breakup and we have managed to get them to move on. I had one female client who came to me for a variety of issues. She had been through a difficult divorce and Cancer diagnosis while raising 3 young children. Throughout her ordeal, she had received immense support from the priest at her church but he had passed away and she missed him immensely. In hypnosis, we visited his spirit and she was able to feel again his love and support and get his counsel. As another part of her treatment, we were able to converse with her late father who had abandoned the family when she was a child, and release the trauma that he had caused. Whether you believe in spirits or not, the experiences in hypnosis feel absolutely real and are able to bring peace and resolution.
