Testimonials
"Debra’s Giving Sorrow Words group provided a helpful, meaningful and healing time for me. I came into it thinking I had one level of grief and discovered that there were many layers which I had never healed in my long life. Her methods and personal attention, combined with her skills and the group process, gave me a sequential unfolding of understanding in how I can help myself through losses iin my life; past and present and future. I appreciated Debra’s training and expertise in helping the healing progress. She is easy to be with and to trust with my heart, feelings and struggles."
