"My passion is to normalise grieving in our current 'get over it' and 'move on' society. I am empowered to teach people how to be loving listeners; to be gentle with themselves, as well as others; and to be more mindful.
I want to encourage people to be a beacon of light and hope for those times in life when they are at their darkest; a place I have been, where it seemed hopeless."
