Embrace the Angel End-of-Life - Pet Loss Grief Counselor - Nationwide
From the moment you met your beloved companion, you felt it—a heart-to-heart connection, a profound Knowing. Now, as you face the final chapter of your physical life together, you’re seeking comfort, clarity, and a way to ease the heartbreak of saying goodbye.
Our animals are our Anam Cara—Soul Friends whose unconditional love, loyalty, and intuitive presence shape our lives in ways that can never be replaced. That bond doesn’t end. It simply changes.
With over 45 years of experience supporting the dying and those they leave behind, I walk beside you with compassion, presence, and deep respect for the love you share. I hold Sacred Space for both you and your pet, helping you navigate anticipatory grief, end-of-life decisions, and the tender moments that matter most.
I am a Certified Life Coach, End-of-Life Doula, and Certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler. I also moderate his Tender Hearts grief support groups (Grief.com) every Monday. Working with bereaved parents has allowed me to grow my compassion, caring, and courage as we navigate grief. Above all, I am a woman who listens with her whole heart and honors the sacred bond between people and their animals.

Standing with you and your beloved pet as they come to the end of their physical life on earth, I offer compassion, caring and an open heart to help you in your Grief Journey, both before and after they pass.
As a Life Coach, an End-of-Life Doula, and a Certified Grief Educator & Coach with over 40 years experience, I understand that for some, the love of our pets can be more visceral, powerful, and profound without words. They are our "Soul Friends."
Three 60 minute sessions online via Zoom, Facetime, or phone—$210 ($70 per session)
After your beloved pet crosses The Threshold, you may be left with a profound sense of overwhelming pain and sadness. I understand the devastation, bewilderment, emptiness, and shock that comes with letting their physical presence go. It is a bond that can never be broken. They are your "Soul Friend."
I also know that there may be people in your life who may compare your loss with their own or someone else's. Each person grieves their beloved—whether human or animal—in a unique, loving way and in their own time. Healing is a special gift we give to ourselves with kindness, tenderness, and compassion.
As a Certified Grief Educator & Coach, I will stand at your side as you make your way through the pain and grief, always knowing you and your beloved pet matter.
Three 60 minute sessions online via Zoom, Facetime, or phone—$210 ($70 per session)
This one hour session gives us an opportunity to learn more about each other, your beloved pet, your feelings and emotions, and how I may be of service to you. If you find this session helpful, you can book a package or single session as needed.
If you need ongoing counseling and care, please know you are not alone. I am here to listen, validate, and work through the pain and grief that may stop you from fully living your best life. As a Certified Life Coach and Grief Specialist, I can gently provide the stability and clarity you may need as you travel your Grief Journey.
These 6 sessions can provide a framework to hold you, your pain, and grief with tenderness and compassion. We can work together online via Zoom, Facetime, or phone—$390 ($65 each session)

I am an Angel in a Human Cloak. I gave birth to an Angel, Amber, who died on my 27th birthday, in 1980. She told me what happens when our bodies die. "Mom, when I die, I'll still be Amber. I'll just be DIFFERENT." I physically felt her leave her body and move into The Light. She never left. She simply "changed." I am SO blessed!

Oh...Veronica...I am so humbled and grateful for your feedback. And, most importantly, honored that you would trust me with the deepest part of your heart and allow me to walk beside you as you move through your grief.
- Patti DiMiceliPatti is a living angel. Thank you!
- Lauren PI felt a weight lift after talking with Patti. She was very present, kind, and genuine. Her desire to talk about Jozi and ask questions about her shifted things to a more positive perspective. While my heart still aches in this grief journey, I am opening myself up more to the truth that I loved her well and everything happened right on time. I’m so grateful to Patti for helping me with my guilt to transform it into loving memories. Book Patti. You won’t regret it.
- Evelyn TPet Pro's Response:
Oh...Evelyn...how kind of you to make the time to provide feedback on our Sacred Time together! I am so very blessed that I could "feel" Jozi's joyful presence and see her in your countenance when you spoke of her. True, deep, and abiding Love is precious beyond words. You have that with Jozi. Thank you for sharing your heart with me!
