Hi, I am Ilse!! I started my interest in Grief, Death and Dying during my Masters in Religion, from which I graduated at the University in Leuven, Belgium. I got a teachers degree and pastoral community work certification as well. I worked towards a certification of Health Educator at the European Academy for Complementary Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. My family has lived in different Latin-American countries. In 2009 we arrived in Canada and that's when I decided to certify in “intervention in palliative care’. I also got a grief Edu-Therapy certification, a cognitive behavioral approach to grieving. I am certified by ADEC, the Association for Death Education and Counseling as a grief educator. I am a member of the OAMHP, Ontario Association for Mental Health Professionals In my practice, now situated in Oakville, Ontario, I accompany adults and teens coping with any kind of LOSS by providing a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place where they can discuss their experiences and share their thoughts, feelings and reactions.
