"My healing journey has not been linear, but progressive. Every step, every investment has been totally worth it. Healing rarely happens by coincidence  -- it happens by courage." ~ Higinia

Higinia (ee he knee ah)

My journey includes rejection, abandonment, multiple deaths of loved ones, illness, divorce, sexual abuse, infertility, job loss, frequent moves, racism, loss of trust, and loss of faith — just to name a few.

For years, I did what many high-capacity people do: I performed well.
I achieved.
I served.
I executed with excellence.
But underneath the strength was unaddressed grief.

I did not know how to associate my pain with the word grief. I thought time, success, service, and faith would naturally resolve it.

In 2018, after losing my mother to lung cancer just five weeks after diagnosis — along with multiple other significant losses — everything surfaced. What I had pushed down for years demanded attention. I realized grief does not disappear. It integrates — either in healthy ways or destructive ones.

Going through the Grief Recovery Method® was transformational. It gave language to what I had carried for decades and equipped me with tools that were practical, relational, and restorative.

Inside Out Integrative Health™ was built from that transformation. Not from theory alone — but from lived experience, professional training, and deep faith.
​
I truly love being on this healing journey with individuals, families or companies to help you move beyond the pain, loneliness and isolation caused by loss and be fully present in life now.

The TRUTH IS recovery from grief is possible and the pain does not have to define you. Grief and loss do not have to frame your present or future. 

This is where IOIH does its best, helping you heal and grow from the Inside Out.

This is my life-time focus helping people GrievingWell™ for a Life Well-Lived™.
