Judy Helm - Certified Pet Loss Grief Coach - Nationwide
As a certified pet grief coach and a proud 2016 Finalist for Pet Industry Woman of the Year, I understand the profound bond we share with our beloved pets. My veteran-owned business, Animal-Human Connection, has been dedicated to helping pet parents navigate the difficult emotions surrounding pet loss for several years. With a rich background that includes writing over 25 articles and books on the subject—most notably my best-selling book, "I Lost My Best Friend Today: Coping With the Loss of a Beloved Pet"—I bring both expertise and heartfelt compassion to my work.
I specialize in providing grief counseling for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. My mission is to create a safe space where you can express your feelings and feel truly heard. Whether you’re struggling with the loss of a cherished companion or seeking guidance on how to cope with impending loss, I am here to support you through this challenging journey. I also offer online sessions, ensuring that no matter where you are located, you can access the support you need.
If you’re ready to connect and find comfort during this difficult time, I invite you to take the first step towards healing. Together, we can navigate your grief and honor the memory of your beloved pet. Book me through Petworks today and let’s begin this important journey together!
