By planning ahead and understanding your options in advance of your pet's final goodbye, you can ease some of the stress and truly cherish your last moments together. Pre Pet Loss helps pet owners to pre-plan wishes for burial or cremation as well as share stories about their pet and share how this has impacted the family before the day of passing.
This 4-meeting session (one day a week) is focused on offering pet owners an effective impact for taking action to move through and beyond their grief. These four weeks will allow the griever the chance to say “goodbye” to their relationship with this special pet, thereby making it comfortable to build a relationship with a new pet, if they choose to do so.

How did you hone your craft?
I began my professional career as published author in 2001 after attending Penn State University undergrad in Psychology. I had an innate drive to support others in heartbreak by forming support groups for controlled substance addiction/recovery getting certified as a recovery and grief specialist. When my 1st pet's health declined and passed I felt a deep sense of loss. I decided to help guide others going through lose of a pet and support families from broken hearts and honor their pet passing. I took my passion by gaining my certification as a Pet Loss Specialist and love the work I continue to do everyday.
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Build a Strong Bond: Consistent, gentle interaction, patience, and regular, positive interactions are crucial to developing a strong, trusting relationship with your pet.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
Honoring the memory of family pets and the legacy they left behind has been a deeply fulfilling aspect of my work for the past 16 years. My empathy and sincereity allows individuals to contribute to the memory and legacy of their beloved companions. These reasons highlight the joy and fulfillment that comes from supporting families through the loss of their pets, making it a career choice that is both meaningful and impactful. Noone can feel what another person feels from loss of their own pet; but I have experienced pet heartbreak in my life and understand how difficult it is to loose a beloved family companion.
