The moment we start talking about the pain is the moment it stops being a silent assassin. - Matt Kahn

The pain of estrangement is real …

And it’s traumatic. We can often feel as if we’ve been washed upon a shore of an unknown island - exhausted from having weathered the burning sun, dark storms and unending waves that have beaten & battered the boat we’ve been an unwilling passenger in for days, weeks, months and even years. We land upon the shore in shock and disoriented, wet and cold. Feeling lost and alone we wonder if we are the only one on this island of this one ‘have-me-not’.

It’s time to be warmed by the fire instead of being engulfed by it. The Estranged Heart is here to help you to find your way back to your estranged adult child or parent. Utilizing compassion and empathy, we meet with clients where they are at and then help them to move THROUGH the pain and perceived shame of estrangement and into a healthy relationship with self as well as their estranged loved one.

If you are experiencing:
- partial or complete estrangement (the unknown island)
- feeling rejection, shame, loneliness and isolation (dark storms & unending waves)
- experiencing and or receiving red-hot anger (blazing sun)
- need to feel warmth again (warming by the fire)

If you want to:
- understand how you got to where you are
- navigate the silence, rejection, and emotions that come with estrangement
- peel back the layers of the unhealthy relationship with your loved one
- fill your toolbox with tools to help you navigate the emotions that come with estrangement
- learn new ways to effectively communicate so as to gain and provide clarity
- give and receive compassion

COACHING BIO
As an estrangement consultant and coach, I find purpose and meaning mentoring others to shift their hearts, transform their relationships and heal generations. I thrive on helping others to choose curiosity as they work to repair their relationship with their estranged loved one and opt-in for heart-centered connection instead of continued distancing through judgment and blame.

My experience as a formerly estranged and now reconciled mother AND adult child, I bring a unique and different perspective to estrangement consulting and coaching practices. Having been on both sides of the fence so-to-speak, I provide clients with an inside look at what adult children or a parent is likely seeking in order to be in relationship with the other?  After my own estrangements and  subsequent reconciliations, as well as facilitating two support groups for estranged moms, I gained valuable experience about where challenges were most prevalent and what worked to either end  or successfully heal and then transform relationships.

I’ve been coaching and mentoring others through life transitions for nearly two decades and today I specialize in working with estranged people, who feel disconnected and or stuck and are seeking new ways to repair their relationship with their estranged loved one so as to reconnect in healthy and loving ways. The trajectory of each parent & adult child relationship is individual and therefore, each has very unique needs. Knowing what those needs are and how best to support them is a very specific art form. While I am always learning and growing, this particular art form is one that I have significant experience in.

I live, work, play and podcast in Seattle, Washington and Tampa/Orlando, FL, USA.
