What Others Think About the Program
I have many words of appreciation for Ligia Houben and her workshop Transforming Your Grief, based on her methodology, The 11 Principles of Transformation®.
— Esther Terry Stansu, M.S., Licensed Mental Health Counselor
“I can’t thank Ligia enough for creating the wonderful program The 11 Principles of Transformation®. Her guidance has been invaluable and tremendously helped me in my own grieving process. Delivered with empathy and compassion, her teachings touched my heart and soul. Ligia is a treasure of wisdom and kindness who goes above and beyond to care truly.”
— Maria Behar
“I wasn’t sure if I should attend a grief group since my losses were years ago, but I’m incredibly grateful I did. From the moment I saw Ligia’s warm smile, I felt welcomed. In a safe space with no judgment, I opened up week after week. Ligia didn’t tell us to ‘get over it,’ but instead showed us how each of us could transform it. I walked into a room of strangers and found a community filled with grace and hope.”
— Diana Vega
“I found The 11 Principles of Transformation® uplifting and inspiring. I joined during a stalled grief period, and the program helped me process my thoughts in a safe and discreet environment. The techniques I learned remain useful in my everyday life, even years later. Kudos to Ligia Houben for a job well done.”
— Carol Kelly
Why this matters
This program has been offered in the past thanks to sponsorship by the Alliance for Aging, whom recognized its deep value for the community. Now, I am making it directly available to individuals who wish to invest in their own healing and transformation.
