Everyone knows where and when grief starts. Moments such as those are embedded in our minds. But what’s next? How do you move on, move through, or get better at living with grief?

Johanna Stamps can help. She is a certified PCCCA Grief Coach and an ICF-trained Life Coach through Professional Christian Coaching Institute. She entered this field after 25 years of working in people-centered roles in corporations in the US and Africa, with a passion for working with leaders and entrepreneurs.

As a Grief Coach, she walks clients through life’s most challenging moments. Ultimately, she aims to help her clients not only return to a life similar to what they experienced before their loss but instead move further into the life God created them for.

She works with clients who are grieving any significant loss from the loss of a child, spouse, job, health, and so many more. Johanna lives by the motto: “If you loved it and lost it, then grieve it.” She has often referred clients from psychologists and counselors who are discharging clients from the deep healing of the past when they are prepared to start moving forward. She utilizes various tools in her coaching, including those for decision-making, visioning, understanding values, stress relief, etc.

Beyond one-on-one coaching, Johanna also facilitates grief groups and retreats, allowing whole groups to leap forward in their understanding and experience of grief. In addition, she enjoys connecting with people via her weekly grief-focused inspirational blog.

Outside her profession of Grief Coaching, Johanna’s favorite vocation is raising her son to be the person God created him to be. Johanna is an alumnus of American University in Washington, DC, where she obtained degrees in both Public Communication and business. Beginning in the fall of 2023, Johanna will also start her Master’s in Counseling at Divine Mercy University in Sterling, VA, where she aims to draw on her full ecumenical background.
