Annie was tremendous at helping my husband and I navigate the unexpected loss of our daughter. We met together and separate and Annie was the support and guidance we knew we needed. She is caring, thoughtful, gentle, and doesn't follow any of the stages of grief. She lets you follow your own path. Highly recommend Annie to anyone experiencing loss.
I saw Georgina shortly after my sister passed and she was extremely helpful, compassionate, inspiring. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in grief over a lost loved one
