IADC Therapy Intensives
for Grief Resolution
(Induced After Death Communication Therapy)
Specialized, evidence-based grief resolution delivered in 2-4 focused sessions
An EMDR-informed intensive for grief beyond the initial shock
Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy is a specialized, EMDR-informed approach to grief that works through the doorway of sadness—the place where love, loss, memory, and meaning converge.
This work is designed for those who are beyond the acute crisis phase of grief (typically three months or more after a death), and who sense—intuitively or spiritually—that relationship does not necessarily end with the physical body.
IADC offers a structured, compassionate container to explore what a continued, transformed, or completed relationship with a loved one may hold.
Within this therapeutic process, clients may:
Deepen and continue loving bonds that were supportive and life-giving
Acknowledge, release, or settle relationships that were strained, unfinished, or painful
Access peace, resolution, or meaning where words alone have not been sufficient
“IADC Therapy can help people find peace after loss—so their relationship with their loved one can continue without pain, guilt, or unfinished business.”
-Andrea
Anyone can experience profound healing
Experiences within IADC therapy vary widely. For some, the work is marked by a profound sense of peace, connection, or wholeness. Others may experience imagery, inner dialogue, felt presence, or moments of deep appreciation for the life that was lived. There is no expected outcome, and no pressure to have a particular kind of experience.
In some cases, caregivers of living children who are disabled or non-verbal have found comfort and meaning through this process—connecting with the child’s soul, their own higher wisdom, or a sense of spiritual knowing that supports resilience and love beyond language.
This is not bypass work. IADC therapy does not avoid pain, complexity, or ambivalence. Grief is met directly, with care and steadiness. The intensive format creates a sacred, protected space where sorrow can be witnessed with compassion, dignity, and grace—without pressure to “move on,” reframe, or make meaning prematurely.
In this work, the griever is not broken.
They are the conduit for integration, remembrance, and evolution.
Who is IADC Therapy for?
This two‑session intensive may be a good fit if:
You’re grieving a specific death that continues to feel raw, stuck, or unresolved.
You’ve done some therapy or grief work, but something still feels unfinished.
You’re open to a focused, experiential process aimed at deep grief resolution.
You’re willing to commit to two 90‑minute sessions in close succession (two consecutive days).
IADC may not be the right first step if you’re in immediate crisis, struggling with suicidal thoughts, or dealing with severe instability in other areas of your life. In those cases, we would typically begin with ongoing 1–1 therapy first and consider IADC when you have more stability and support.
And remember, you can always contact your local hospital or crisis line for immediate support. Resources for Toronto Area Here

Currently all of my work with clients takes place in the virtual space through Jane, a secure online booking system (similar to zoom).
EMDR & IADC Therapy works just as well as in-person for most clients. -
What the IADC process looks like
Step 1: Brief consultation (optional but recommended)
A 15–20 minute phone or video consult to confirm that IADC is the right fit for you at this time and answer any questions.Step 2: Session One – 90 minutes
We’ll review your history, clarify your intentions for the work, and begin the IADC protocol. The focus is on safely accessing and processing the core emotions of your grief.Step 3: Session Two – 90 minutes
Within [X days / 1–2 weeks], we complete the protocol, deepen the experience, and support you in integrating what arose—emotionally and practically—into your life going forward.Step 4: Integration (optional follow‑up)
Some clients choose to schedule a standard 60‑minute follow‑up therapy session to continue integration and explore what has shifted. This is optional but available.
(Hours are Mondays - Thursdays, 9-4pm) -
IADC Therapy consists of a complimentary assessment call, then 2 × 90 minute sessions (consecutive days) $375 CAD per session (total = $750 CAD).
Many clients choose to also have a follow-up session for integration (60 minutes = $250 CAD) -
IADC Therapy is typically a 2 session model, each 90 minutes in length, over two consecutive days (ie. Wednesday and Thursday mornings)
Why I do this work
I am devoted to supporting a different way of relating to death, grief, and love—one that honors death as part of life and grief as a meaningful, transformative process rather than something to fix or move past. Through my work with clients, especially in IADC Therapy (Induced After-Death Communication)—a grief resolution intervention—I have repeatedly witnessed something both humbling and hopeful: even after tragic or horrific losses, people are capable of experiencing profound peace, connection, and relief. Trauma can be put to rest. Hearts can reopen. And love can continue in a new, deeper way—through how we remember, relate to, and carry our loved ones forward. Love, I believe, is eternal and not limited by physical death.
This work has also shown me that healing is possible even when relationships in life were complex, painful, or abusive. In cases of complicated grief—particularly with difficult or harmful parents—I have often witnessed resolution that does not require forgetting what happened or offering forgiveness before one is ready. Instead, clients find peace in knowing the suffering is over. They come to hold the full truth of the relationship with greater compassion and clarity, allowing them to move forward with more harmony, acceptance, and freedom in their own lives.
I feel called to this work as a sacred assignment. My comfort with death and curiosity about the great unknown have always been present, alongside a deep respect for its mystery and universality. Death, to me, is not morbid—it is an invitation to live fully, whatever that means for each person. As one client once said, “No one ever not died.” She’s right. When we allow death into everyday conversation, it offers perspective. It reminds us to live courageously, love more deeply, and stay connected to what truly matters.
