As Director of the Integrated Wellbeing Institute, I certify Licensed Grief Professionals in a body-based approach to get their clients out of the loop of grief without sacrificing their own wellbeing, as psychologists, social workers, and counselors.

Today, we flipped the script and Jessica Halvorsen interviewed ME on the details of the certification program, what we do, and why it is SO beneficial.

If you are ready to uplevel your talk therapy practice to include somatic processes, please check this link to make a 30-minute appointment to see if this certification program is right for you: https://calendly.com/georgena-eggleston

Here is my Hero's Journey, my "WHY" for doing what I do:

HERO’S JOURNEY

Low Point: After my teenage son died of suicide, I was languishing in guilt, despair, and bottomless sadness.

Turning Point: A friend introduced me weeks later to a body-based approach to healing, I enrolled in the four-year somatic training program created by Ilana Rubenfeld over 40 years earlier.

High Point: Not only was I healed by this method, it was the powerful presence of a woman mentor that propelled me forward. Now hundreds of women with whom I have worked over the past 25 years have moved beyond their deep grief to radiant living.

Jessica Halvorsen, Mompreneur Mentor, is the Founder/CEO of Mom Elevated. She guides mom entrepreneurs to enhance their systems and organization to increase their impact and income without breaking the bonds they have with their babies/kids/loved ones.

She enjoys leading mompreneurs to get more FACE Time: the Freedom they desire through the Actions they take, the Connections they make, and the Expectations they break by using their Time in the wisest way. You (and your dreams) deserve as much attention as you give to your clients and your family.
