“Lesleigh and the Grief Recovery Method have been tremendous in the healing of my past. It was actually a recent trauma that drew me to her program, but we ended up working on key family relationships that have weighed me down in ways I was not even aware of.
To truly heal from your past and release the weight of old pain is incredibly freeing – it is something we ALL deserve!
And Lesleigh is the perfect facilitator for this program. She is warm, wise, compassionate, and very professional. Working with Lesleigh was the best gift I could ever give myself – and I deserve it. :-)”

“I became a widow over a year ago and my heart was broken with my husband’s loss. I was gifted to find Lesleigh and have her guidance during the last year of heartbreak over my husband’s death and the life we lived together. I have found solace with this Grief Program and would heartily recommend it to anyone whose heart needs healing. It is difficult enough to experience such a loss and to have a facilitator who just gets me and is compassionate and kind and knows her stuff, well it has made a significant difference in my well-being. I am referring other friends with losses to Lesleigh, because I am certain they too will be treated with the same gentleness and compassion. Lesleigh has a gift for communication and made me feel valued and appreciated and loved every step of this program.

“This is to recommend Lesleigh Tolin. I spent eight weeks working with Lesleigh on grief issues: we wrapped up only about five weeks ago.
Lesleigh is, in a word, incredible. Her devotion to service and wellness is limitless. She mandates, in a good way, a space unencumbered to work. Only on the issues at hand, to not be distracted by extraneous, off-topic items. She always made me feel like her most important client because of her single focus.
When we are together: I have tried to institute this into my workday as well due to the positivity I gleaned from it. She is tough and gentle, the perfect balance, knows her stuff, and inspires confidence to gain significant growth in a relatively short period. And she delivers. I have grown a tremendous amount and the release and the freeing of mind that happens in the delivery of the complete letters at the close of the program Is amazing. I cannot praise her qualities highly enough and certainly not well enough within the space of these few short lines. If I can help with any additional information that you need as to Lesleigh and the incredible woman that she is, do not hesitate to call on me.”

“Lesleigh guided me through the Grief Recovery process with an innate ability to show me compassion and love. She helped me express my hidden emotions in each step of the process with loving care and understanding. Without her support and guidance, I probably would not have discovered the beauty of Grief Recovery.”
– Bobbi F.
“Lesleigh is masterful. She is caring, knowledgeable and quite simply, Aces. Her ability to relate my experiences to her own allowed me to feel very free in my expression and contributed to my growth throughout my program. My commitment and involvement with AA were exciting to her as well which was very cool because of the parallels I drew from the teachings in GRMethod and AA. Excellent, excellent counselor.
If you need additional feedback or if I can do anything further to give her the kudos that she deserves, please contact me.”

“I worked with Lesleigh on grief recovery after going through a very painful period in my life which I lost 3 people who were very close to me. She counseled me and supported me with compassion and empathy,
and she gave me guidance to help me find my inner strength to deal with the loss and emptiness I was feeling. We all experience life changes that challenge us but it is very easy to become overwhelmed and people deal with loss in different ways. I feel that I have learned the skills to cope with the grief I experienced and to move forward with my life. I will always be extremely grateful to Lesleigh for this new hope.”
– Kyle

“I love the structure and science behind the program! That was a huge draw for me as a busy woman! And that it’s only 7 weeks! Although I will probably continue with Lesleigh the rest of my life I am forever grateful for this program! I can now offer a program to my clients who are dealing with Grief and feel confident to share with them that it worked for me! I have a new relationship with my mother and can now see her with a new “lens” and have compassion for her. My mom is 73 years young, and thank God I took this course now so I can be fully present with her! I do believe that my instructor Lesleigh Tolin made ALL the difference! Not sure I would have opened up my heart the way that I did with someone else! I will keep these tools close to my heart and will be forever changed!”

“I have sought many providers over the past 5 & 1/2 years following the death of our 24 year old son. Once I met Lesleigh, I knew i had finally found someone who could help me. Being a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Lesleigh walked along side of me as I worked the structured program.
She not only respected my tremendous pain, but helped me learn what to DO with the pain. Lesleigh is a passionate about helping people to learn how to begin living again. My heart will always be sad about losing our son. Yet L provided a safe place for me to discover a way to not only miss our son, but a healthier way to live my life.”

“Lesleigh’s kind heart is filled with compassion and her ability to listen is beyond words. I felt so comfortable right off the bat with her! I opened up and shared everything with her about what I was going through and felt safe and acknowledged. She is truly skilled at what she does and I can’t wait to share with my friends, family and clients so they too can heal their grief.”

“Lesleigh is really incredible. She is so compassionate and empathetic. She is an incredible listener. I learned so much from her and I cannot believe what a difference this program has made in my life. I was assaulted by a church member whom I thought was a friend and this program helped me so much. It also helped me with life-long issues with family members. It is really an amazing program and Lesleigh is extraordinary. I’m grateful.”
