Meet Olivia
Olivia is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® through The Grief Recovery Method. Her approach is rooted in compassion, real-life experience, and a deep belief that healing is possible for everyone.
Her journey into grief recovery began after experiencing significant loss and life changes at a young age, including the loss of her oldest brother when she was 17. In the years that followed, she also navigated family changes and personal experiences with trauma—shaping her understanding of how layered and complex grief can be.
Like many, Olivia spent years trying to move forward without the tools to truly process what she had been through. Everything changed when she discovered The Grief Recovery Method®, an action-based program that gave her a clear path toward healing.
Now, she is passionate about helping others feel seen, supported, and guided as they move through their own grief. She has also had the privilege of being mentored by a Grief Recovery Method Specialist with over 20 years of experience.
Meet Austin
Austin is a U.S. Army veteran who served as an infantryman for 10 years and is now medically retired. His experiences in the military, along with his own life journey, have given him a strong understanding of resilience, loss, and the unique challenges many individuals- especially veterans- face.
He is currently working toward becoming a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® and plans to focus on supporting veterans as they navigate grief, transition, and life after service.
Austin is passionate about creating a space where others feel understood, respected, and supported- especially those who may feel like they have to carry everything on their own.
Our Approach
Together, Olivia and Austin created Bond Grief Collective to offer a different kind of support- one that is structured, compassionate, and focused on real progress.
Through a 6-week program based on The Grief Recovery Method®, they guide clients step-by-step through the process of addressing unresolved grief. This is not long-term, open-ended counseling- it’s a clear, action-based approach designed to help you move forward in a meaningful and lasting way.
Whether your grief comes from loss, life transitions, or past experiences, you don’t have to carry it alone.
