“I began working with Amyra Braha about 8 months after losing my wife.  Prior to this I experimented with two grief support groups and also one-on-one counseling.  While I did receive some relief by participating in these, I still felt off-center.

For the most part I thought I was doing just fine in my grief process, and then I was triggered deeply back into the grief at around month 6 or 7. The trigger was a new woman who expressed an interest in me [and] shortly thereafter I went into what I will describe as emotional chaos. It wasn’t the same tearful grief I had immediately after my wife’s passing. Instead it was a confusion of emotions as if on the one hand I wanted to move forward in my life but on the other I didn’t want to let go of the memories of the past. It was a very physical kind of grief and it literally felt as if my heart was dividing in two. This new brand of grief manifested at different times in different ways, but always had a real physical pain associated with it. I needed help but didn’t know where to turn.

I was aware of Amyra’s work and something compelled me to engage her services. I was drawn to Amyra because of her background in grief support but my decision to work with her ultimately came down to what I would call her energy. She was comforting yet direct and exuded a sense of peace and intuition that gave me confidence that with her I would have a different kind of counseling experience.

With Amyra’s help I began to get a different perspective on my grief that can best be described as external. Instead of having to feel the grief, I was able to detach from it and examine it from an outside perspective. From this new point of view I was able to finally understand where the pain was still coming from and what needed to be done to heal.

I have learned that grief is a personal journey that affects us all differently. Amyra was able to help me get in touch with my unique form of grief and guide me to move through it. I felt better after the first session but it took us 3-4 more before I started to feel more grounded again. I still have moments that come up from time to time but they are not nearly as painful as they were before. If you are stuck in your grief, you owe it to yourself to at least have an initial conversation with Amyra.”    – Brett, Moorpark, CA

“Amyra’s presence on the phone acted like a magnet for the feelings I needed to release. I was experiencing a lot of overwhelm as a result of a recent move, starting a business and having and 18-month old son. The RELIEF I felt to have a soothing ear and a strong heart to hear me, appreciate what I was experiencing, assure me that all was well, and that my strong feelings were completely appropriate and natural for all the changes I was facing was like a cold compress on a fevered brow. I definitely didn’t expect this all to come out in one phone call, but I’m definitely glad I had Amyra to guide me through it. Her gifts are extraordinary, and I highly recommend coaching with Amyra for any transitions you may be going through. Thank you Amyra for being my guide during that turbulent time!”   – Donna, New York, NY

“I am deeply grateful for the compassionate care shown to us. I needed to trust your professionalism and caring – as we are so far away – and I wasn’t disappointed. I will be forever grateful to you for your guidance. With my gratitude to you, I was able to say my complete goodbyes. I will never have regrets.  I feel complete. Thank you for helping us all in this journey.”    – K. H., Minnesota

“There are times when we all need support and understanding as we face and cope with the death of a loved one. I recently lost my husband and want to thank Amyra Braha for her support during his illness. Amyra has integrity, and is an honest and trustworthy person. She is mature, professional, confident and well organized. She is a good listener and communicator and sensitive to her clients’ distress and genuinely interested in helping people. I have always found her to be accessible and has consistently demonstrated compassion, concern and thoughtfulness. I am grateful for her support.”   – Sylvia, Newbury Park, CA

“I want to thank you for the concern, nurturing and understanding that you showed me during the short time (my friend) was in your care. I also am grateful for the calls and attention that I received after her death. It mattered a great deal that someone was thinking of me. Truly, this was a wonderful gift to us both.”   – J. M., San Francisco, CA

“It was by coincidence that I met Amyra.  The minute we met, I immediately felt very comfortable with her. She is very loving, calm, knowledgeable. She has helped me tremendously with the death of my husband. Amyra is able to put things in the proper perspective and she has helped me to find out who I am in this new phase of my life.  She is easy to talk to, work with, and she is very loving and knowledgeable.  I would highly recommend her as a Grief Counselor and/or a Spiritual Counselor.”   – Melba, Moorpark, CA

“I heard Amyra speak at my work and I found myself moved by the stories and guidance she was giving, even though at the time I didn’t think I had had much experience with grief. I learned from that presentation that feelings of loss can come in all shapes and sizes, and it was then I realized there was a significant amount of grief from my past that I hadn’t yet dealt with. I’ve always considered myself a “strong” person, and I was a bit skeptical when I first started meeting with Amyra one on one, but the results I have seen in myself have been incredible. My family has even commented on how much healthier my response to grief has been, especially in light of the passing of several friends since I started meeting with Amyra. She has a peace about her, and a kind and gentle way of helping me release my grief – it’s been a wonderful experience and really one of the best things I have done for myself.”   – C. W., Thousand Oaks, CA

“My experience working with you was that I felt extremely comfortable, I had complete confidence in you even when I was working with issues outside my comfort zone. My experiences offered me great insights into myself through your guidance, but you did not do the work for me. You helped me find my own way. This is the true way to healing. I could always feel your unconditional love and acceptance. No judgments. Your heart centered listening meant hearing in the most profound way to what I said …. and didn’t say. You have a priceless gift of intuition and healing. You see and hear with your heart. Thank you so much for listening!”   – Patty, Westlake Village, CA
