Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Stress is a major part of grief because death changes daily life in a way the mind and body cannot easily absorb. A person who was part of your everyday world is suddenly no longer there, and that absence can feel shocking, unnatural, and impossible to make sense of. The permanence of death, the disruption of routines, the empty bedroom, the quiet house, the missed future, and the reality of never seeing that person again can create intense emotional and physical stress.
Grief-related stress can also come from triggers, looping thoughts, forgetfulness, irritability, exhaustion, loss of interest in people or hobbies, and the feeling that your thoughts are no longer fully in your control. A song, a coffee shop, a date, a smell, or an ordinary place can suddenly bring the loss back with force. These reactions can feel frightening because they are different from who you were before the loss.
As a certified grief coach, I support adults by acknowledging that these reactions make sense. I explain where grief-related stress comes from in plain, human language, without psychobabble, and help clients understand why their mind and body may be responding this way. I also offer practical tools to cope with triggers, manage overwhelming thoughts, soften the stress response, and move through daily life with more steadiness and support.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. Managing stress can be an important factor to consider while navigating our way through this world. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.
