“A light in the darkness.

Pat Sheveland‘s Confident Grief Coach and B.R.E.A.T.H.E Facilitator Certification program came into my life during a “dark night of the soul”, a time of deep loss and need to reinvent my life. Having worked for many years with grieving families, I knew the territory of the program. However, I was blown away by how much thought, heart, and intention are woven into this program. Guided by insightful and profound tools and practices, within a brilliantly designed process, Pat’s program proves it’s possible to find peace and beauty within the experience of grief and loss.

Pat has created a truly unique and transformative grief coaching program, unlike any other I found. As a professional, I feel equipped with first-class training to be a Certified Grief Coach and B.R.E.A.T.H.E Program Facilitator. As a participant, the program was life-changing and healing on so many levels. Wherever you are on your journey, Pat has the skills, experience, and capacity to guide you to become a Confident Grief Coach; and she offers unwavering support and encouragement each step of the way. Pat, and this program, are truly a light in the world.”

Refund/Cancellation Policy

The Confident Grief Coach School has a limited refund policy because we only accept students who have a clear commitment to completing their training and certification.

When you had your pre-enrollment interview, you knew that this was the program for you or you would not have signed up to begin with.

We trust that you made the right choice.

However, we do not want you to start the program if you decide you are unable to be fully committed due to life circumstances so we have a very limited refund policy.

We believe in you and are committed to your success. We will hold that space of success for you throughout the program and that is why our refund policy is structured in the following way:

  • For Cancellations made prior to program start date: Cancellation of a course must be made a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to the course to be eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made less than ten (10) days before the course (but prior to class start date) are not eligible for refund of the enrollment down payment but will be refunded any non-down payment fees previously paid by student. Written notice of cancellation shall be effective on the date the withdrawal is received by The Confident Grief Coach School. Refunds will be made within thirty (30) days following receipt of cancellation or withdrawal requests.
  • For cancellations requested after program start date: Because of the work we do, we do recognize that significant life-altering events can occur. Should this happen and interfere with you completing your course during your scheduled you may request a one-time transfer of your registration to another class. Requests are not guaranteed to be granted and will be reviewed by the Director of the School on a case-by-case basis.
