Healing Hearts

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME

I am Gordana Stanković, a CNVC Certified Trainer, David Kessler Certified Grief Educator and I someone who has travel the journey of grief many times over and I've learned through experience that to live life fully we need to grief fully.

I support people on their journey towards living an authentic and wholehearted life by offering individual coaching sessions, trainings and support programs.

When you are able to observe your thoughts, name and experience your feelings and embrace and own your needs with awareness you are able to move from disempowerment and struggle with life to a space of inner power and thriving.

Through my own experience of love and loss (from the loss of friends, country, and identity due to the war in F. Yugoslavia, to the loss of parents and the most recently my life partner) I have become very acquainted with grief by engaging in, what Francis Weller refers to as, "apprenticeship with sorrow" and what I refer to as conscious intentional grieving. I am now at the place in life when I wish to offer all my experience, knowledge and skill as well as , maybe most importantly, my witnessing presence in accompanying people on their journey of grief and healing back into integration.

SERVICES

NEEDS BASED COACHING SESSIONS

Through the sessions I support individuals in becoming more aware of their internal dialogue, and getting in touch with their feelings and deep universal needs, at the root of all our behaviour. I help them develop communication skills that are more in service of self-care, and at the same time enabling them to connect with others through honest expression and empathy.

GRIEF

COMPANIONING

I offer grief companioning service through individual sessions. There is a saying that "we do not heal what we do not feel" which has proven to be true both in my personal as well professional experience. However, loss and grief can be excruciatingly painful and to be able to feel that pain we might need a support of a skilful, companion who can provide us with nonjudgmental safe space to experience our grief and for that grief to be witnessed.

TESTIMONIALS

"Gordana has guided me during my journey of healing the emotional trauma that I had suffered in my childhood.

In all of our sessions I felt very supported by her knowledge, kindness and patience while I was learning to identify and to express my feelings and needs in a non-violent way that, at the same time, allowed me to heal the painful past.

The sessions were not always easy for me due to the deep sadness I had in me for so many years but as we progressed with each session, I started to notice little by little the changes in me and in my daily life.

I am certain that I could have not been able to heal and to learn how to re-connect with myself, if I was not been given a safe and comfortable environment where I could do the work on my pace and without judgment from her side. I also felt accompanied by her all along the way.

I now live my life with awareness of my feelings and needs which makes my life richer, joyful and peaceful.

I am forever grateful, Gordana ."

"Coaching has actually changed my life.

The key for me was working with Gordana. Through Gordana, I learned how to communicate through my deepest values and needs while understanding the needs of others – what needs they are trying to meet by their behavior. What I learned from Gordana is that Compassionate Communication is not a means of changing other’s point of view, but a way to work with the awareness of my own needs. Now I have the tools to deal with any encounter, no matter how challenging with genuine connection. Working with Gordana has been a truly empowering experience.''

"Through the nourishing connection established on our person-to-person sessions with Gordana since summer 2013 I have been blessed to receive great support and expanded in my awareness of self care & empowerment. I felt welcome, understood and reciprocated. With our sessions eventually transitioning to online the flow nevertheless remained deeply heartfelt. Gordana has the balance of challenges made kind and compassionate, fine tuned to my needs every time I turn with the cry for help. What I value the most in our sessions is the sense of identity & self worth she supports me to shape, with respect, lovingly. And support is continuous even if by quick "how are you?"

I am grateful."
