This is an exclusive interview with my friend Sharna Southan, founder of Institute of Healing Through Pregnancy Loss. As part of this, she has created a Pregnancy Loss Certification program for practitioners who feel called to guide others through their experiences of pregnancy loss. Sharna asked me to share my perspectives of grief with her practitioners and provide additional tools they can use for their own healing, as well as for supporting their clients in their journey. In our time together we share personal experiences with grief as well as our favorite tools for dealing with it and building a more healthy relationship with it.

More about Sharna's Pregnancy Loss Practitioners Program:

Sharna’s Pregnancy Loss Practitioners Program is designed to first help you find your path in the healing journey, then to enable you to guide others in theirs. Whether you have personally experienced pregnancy loss, or feel called to understand and support others who have, she teaches tools that will help you change the reality of suffering in silence, anxiety, PTSD into one of awareness, confidence, and powerful purpose.

The Program is built on 3 Pillars of Sharna’s Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method as developed from her personal experience with pregnancy loss, fused with practices from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). The first pillar teaches you how to recognize and acknowledge big emotions enabling you to be seen, heard, and validated in your experiences. The second pillar helps you reframe and reprogram your old beliefs and thought patterns, to make way for new ones that serve you better. The final pillar is all about recalibrating and refocusing our identity and how we want to show up in our lives moving forward. The Program also includes a section on Business Foundations to help you learn how to integrate these principles into a business and/or how to go on to offer your support to the world in your own unique way.
