Are you ready to start finding JOY after loss?

Meet Traci

I have been preparing for Joy Restoration and Grief Coaching all my life.

I help women find joy in the new seasons of life after loss. By helping them become proactive in their own healing process, accountable for making changes that will facilitate advancement and reduce the effects of grief on the individual long term.

Long-term, that is how I would describe my own grief journey.  It is not until the last several years that I really began to put a lifetime of grief behind me and begin taking a journey towards joy.  

My grief journey started when I was 11 years old and my mom suddenly died as well as losing all my grandparents and several Aunts and Uncles when I was a kid.  My mom had medical issues that I really knew nothing about.  So for me, it was sudden and traumatic.  For a very long time after that, my identity was the loss of my mother and someone grieving and not walking in joy even though life began to get so much better. I finally started to shake that grief identity after living so many years in the shadow of grief. Then when I was 25 my wonderful husband and I had our first baby girl, Katie Sue.  Katie was born with only half of her heart.  This continued me on a path of self-pity and tragedy as my identity.
