My Story. Your LIGHT.
Before I was a coach, a speaker, or the founder of The LIGHT Method™, I was a daughter navigating grief, a woman seeking meaning, and a human trying to heal.
This is the story of how loss became my teacher—and how it gave birth to a path of deep compassion, emotional courage, and healing leadership.
The Beginning: Loss and Awakening (2008–2012)
In 2008, I lost my mother.
Her death cracked open a portal inside me—not just of grief, but of awakening.
The first few years were survival.
I found my way back to life through the body: attending massage therapy school, becoming a health coach, learning to nurture myself physically when my heart felt broken.
Slowly, I realized healing wasn’t just physical—it was emotional, spiritual, relational.
This was the seedbed of something greater.
The First Bloom: Receiving the LIGHT (2013)
One day, after years of quietly tending my own healing, I received a message:
LOVE loss LOVE.
It felt like a whisper from my mother—and a calling from my soul.
Out of that message, I created the original LIGHT Method—a deeply feminine offering for those navigating the profound territory of life after loss.
It was intuitive, heart-centered, expansive.
Bridging Feminine and Masculine: Structure Meets Soul (2013–2023)
Seeking to deepen my tools, I found the Grief Recovery Method®, a powerful, structured, masculine container for healing.
I trained in it, mastered it, and spent the next decade training others around the world.
I witnessed firsthand:
The power of compassion.
The necessity of structure.
The universality of loss and the deep hunger for safe spaces to heal.
During this time, I also wrote The Compassion Code: How to Say the Right Thing When the Wrong Thing Happens, a guidebook for navigating life’s hardest conversations with grace.
I built The Marriage Upgrade, teaching women how to become emotional leaders in their homes, creating healthier, more connected families.
This work evolved into The Compassion Code Academy, an immersive journey into self-love, communication mastery, and conscious leadership. This later expanded into the Compassion Coach Training, certifying new generations of heart-centered guides.
Most recently, I created the Compassion Companion Foundational Mini Course to make compassionate support accessible to even more people, because healing doesn’t have to wait for a crisis.
The Full Circle: Becoming the LIGHT (Now)
Today, I realize I didn’t just create the LIGHT Method.
I lived it.
I became it.
The LIGHT Method now stands as a full, integrated journey:
From Loss to Liberation
From Integration to Growth through Compassion
From Heart-Centered Practice to Transformation into Leadership
It weaves together the feminine and the masculine.
The personal and the professional.
The inner journey and the outer service.
The grief and the grace.
It’s not just about surviving loss.
It’s about loving life after it.
It’s about coming home to ourselves—stronger, softer, wiser, more whole.
This is the path I walk.
This is the path I offer you..
