Sabrina
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
I am a passionate and compassionate holistic educator with 30 years experience. Origially from Germany, I trained as a teacher at picturesque and historic Munich University. After I moved to the US, I homeschooled our three children, then transitioned to tutoring one-on-one. Presenting the “Helping Children With Loss” program to adults is a natural extension of my fervent desire to give our future generations the best possible start into life.
My personal experiences include the divorce of my parents, and more moves than I care to count! Later on, giving birth to a premature baby turned all my hopes, dreams, and expectations around welcoming a new family member from exciting and happy to unfamiliar and harrowing.
I love to share the stories that come from interacting regularly with children, teens (and their parents), and I listen with a kind and open heart.
Welcome to our safe space of discovery and equipping.

Katie
Canby, Oregon
As adults, we role model so many things for the children in our lives without even realizing it; grief is no different. In 2016, my daughter drowned after a wave swept us out to sea. She was four years old. Not only were adults grieving, but children too.
From a desire to encourage cohesion among adults, I found the Grief Recovery Method’s course in Helping Children with Loss as the foundation in supporting young grieving hearts. Using compassion thoughts, rather than intellectual statements, we learn how to identify the emotional energy surrounding losses in our children’s lives and help them through painful transitions.
I love talking about hearts, physiologically and emotionally. I have a BS in Kinesiology from Oregon State University and worked at the Providence St. Vincent Heart Clinic before becoming a mom of two. Learning how to talk and listen to grief will dictate how our children will handle emotions about loss.
They are watching, it’s our responsibility to be proactive.
