Hear from those who've walked the path:
Terri helped me work through the grief of loosing my mother and other family members. At the same time I realized I was grieving so much more in my life. Working through that grief with her changed my life. I’m now thriving like never before. Grief can be so much more than death and she helped me discover that. She listened to my every word and helped me realize things I had no idea about myself. I’ll be forever grateful for her changing my life! She worked around my schedule and we worked through FaceTime and it was so convenient and easy! If I could give her 100 stars I would.
I started grief support coaching back in September with Terri, who has experienced the loss of a child, I 100% believe she was divinely sent to me for help. I knew that I couldn’t do it alone and wanted someone who knew exactly what I was feeling and going through. I absolutely love her for ALL she has done and continues to help me through this healing journey. Thank you Terri for allowing me to feel all the emotions that I’m experiencing and giving me the courage to step forward.
If you are looking for Grief Coaching, look no further. I went through a tough divorce and was grieving the death of a marriage. I'm so glad I have Terri to guide me through this journey. It's not easy doing it alone. She's helped me see that I am worthy, I deserve happiness, and how to stand up for myself. I have built confidence and inspired people around me. Friends and Family have noticed a big change in the way I carry myself, physically and emotionally. Having someone believe in you and remind you that anything is possible, that's priceless. Terri's story in itself, is an inspiration To hear what she has gone through and for her to want to help others, that's true compassion and it shows in her work. Forever thankful!!
Finding Terri has been such a blessing. She has helped me so much with the grief I've been trying to deal with from losing my husband of almost 50 years together. She's given me so much inspiration, insight, and tools to help me navigate this painful journey. She is truly amazing. I highly recommend her. Thank you Terri! I look forward to our next meeting.
Terri became the person I could open up to and talk to after the loss of my son which has been the most difficult life event ever. She is absolutely amazing and has a way of processing grief that helped me move past so much such as guilt, shame, anger, and fear. She helped me look at my grief in a way that challenged my perception about it and where I was stuck in grief, sadness, and depression. Her workbook continues to help me through the journey of processing my feelings and digging deeper to get through this incredibly tough time.
I recently attended a grief retreat led by Master Grief Coach,Terri Chaplin -and it was a truly transformative experience!
From the very beginning, Terri created a safe and welcoming space where there was no judgment and everyone's feelings were validated. This allowed for open and honest conversations to flow freely, creating a sense of community and support among the group. I was able to fully embrace my vulnerability and work through my grief in a positive and healing way. The retreat was held in a beautiful venue @ Full Circle Retreats, Christina and Kim prepared delicious food . The venue provided a peaceful atmosphere, adding to the overall experience. I am so pleased that I took the opportunity to attend this retreat and was able to form connective strong bonds with 9 amazing women, who were also on their own journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of support and healing.
The most meaningful part of the retreat for me was the common connection shared by everyone. The environment created by Terri was very comfortable and inviting. Everything was honestly perfect! My experience was enlightening and gave me new skills to help myself and others.
I want to express my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude for the sacred experience of the Grief Retreat with Healing Hearts, you so lovingly held.
The way you gathered such beautiful souls in the serenity of that space felt like a divine invitation—one that opened my heart and awakened something deep within my spirit.
Thank you, Terri, for being the lightbearer—for creating a space where pain was honored, where vulnerability was met with reverence, and where love flowed freely and without judgment.
My heart is forever changed. I carry the stories, the souls, and the sacred silence we shared within me, and I will hold each of you in my prayers and in my heart.
So happy I decided to attend Healing Hearts Haven at Full Circle Retreat. It was a special weekend of connection, reflection and healing. Truly!! Thank you Terri Chaplin for all that you did for us.
Long talks while sitting on the couch
Sharing food and stories around the kitchen table
Therapeutic art sessions
Calming walks in the forest behind Full Circle Retreat
Playful viewing and interacting with animals ❤️ Cisco
Chats and music around evening fires
And morning sunshine near the pool
Tears, laughter, hugs, cheers, sighs….and so much more.
It was a powerful and inspiring women’s weekend. A time to feel the love on the other side of pain.
Terri Chaplin brings warmth, wisdom, and years of experience to this transformational work. As an accredited grief companion and educator, certified in advanced grief support and heart focused techniques, she has gently walked alongside hundreds of people in the depths of grief, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of balance through understanding, compassion, and lived experience.
Her calling was born from personal loss and experiences that revealed how deeply funeral service and grief care need more humanity, presence, and heart. After the deaths of her first husband and her son, Terri witnessed how easily the sacredness of grief can be lost in transactional systems. Those moments became the spark that guides her mission today: to help families, funeral professionals, and communities bring compassion back to the center of care.
Terri’s work is about holding space gently and patiently, without judgment. She witnesses grief in all its rawness and stays present with it, honoring each person’s pain as sacred and deeply personal. Her methods are grounded in deep listening and simple, meaningful tools that meet each person right where they are, creating room for healing to unfold naturally.

We meet twice per month:
No. Healing Hearts Circle is open to anyone who is grieving the loss of someone they love, regardless of who that person was or how long ago the loss occurred. Whether you are grieving a child, partner, parent, sibling, friend, or even a beloved pet, your grief is welcome here.
We recognize that grief is deeply personal and doesn't follow a timeline or a set of rules. This space was created to honor all forms of loss, with compassion, understanding, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are.
Each session includes a gentle welcome, an optional check-in or reflection prompt, and open space for sharing. There is no pressure to speak—listening and holding space is just as powerful. We close with a short reflection or grounding practice.
Healing Hearts Circle is led by Terri Chaplin, Certified Grief Companion & Educator and Heartmath® Certified Mentor. In addition to her training, Terri has personally experienced the loss of her son, husband, sister, father, grandparents, many beloved pets, as well as other family and friends. While she brings deep compassion, expertise, and lived experience, this is not clinical therapy. If you're looking for mental health counseling, we can help refer you to additional resources.
Absolutely. Many members choose to simply attend, listen, and absorb the comfort of being surrounded by others who “get it.” There’s never pressure to speak—your presence alone is enough.
It’s our private, members-only online space where you can connect with others who have experienced loss and grief. You can post reflections, share memories, check in on hard days, or simply be part of a circle that understands your grief.
Yes. You can cancel your monthly membership at any time from your account dashboard, no questions asked. Annual members can reach out to request cancellation if needed.
