Grief and Loss Counseling

Tragically Sacha’s youngest daughter was diagnosed with an aggressive childhood cancer at the age of two and spent 2 years in the children’s hospital undergoing brutal cancer treatment.

Her daughter unfortunately passed away at age four so Sacha has genuine lived experience of maternal grief, loss and bereavement and is especially passionate about helping other parents who have suffered the loss of a child.
