About the workshops
I am a qualified educator who understands grief from raw painful experience
Hi I'm Heather and I understand grief from personal experience.
In 2022 my husband and mum died within weeks of each other. In order to understand what was happening to me I found out as much as I could about grieving and listened to others share their grief stories.
I am an experienced educator passionate about delivering training, having worked as a teacher for many years before moving into adult training.
​
My training is different as it is gentle, interactive and practical.
My qualifications
Level 3 Award in Education and Training (PTLLS)
BSc (Hons) Maths with Qualified Teacher Status
TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Self-harm and Suicide Awareness and Prevention (RQF)
L 2 First Aid for Mental Health
Safeguarding Adults level 2 Training for Frontline Staff

Testimonials
The training was incredibly helpful, not just in awareness about grief in the workplace, but also about specific hints, tips, dos and donts, especially as not everyone knows exactly what to say or do when someone close to someone at work has passed away. It was a safe space to share experiences and talk openly, ask questions, etc, and that's so important with such a sensitive topic. Thank you!
