About Me
I'm Valerie Frazier,
a retired Master Sergeant U.S. Army and a Certified Professional Coach with over 13 years of experience.
As the founder of On the Other Side of Grief, I specialize in intuitive life and grief coaching, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover beautiful horizons beyond grief.
My journey has shaped me into a public speaker, trainer, small group facilitator, and author.
I am dedicated to guiding individuals through life's many transitions, honoring their emotions, and empowering them to embrace the life they've been given.
What makes me different ...
My approach blends intuitive practices with practical strategies, empowering individuals to honor their emotions, make conscious choices, and create personal balance and harmony regardless of the challenges they're facing.
As a person who practices spirituality, I know that there is a subtle kinetic energy, a life-force energy that is influenced by our moods, our thoughts and experiences. This energy isn’t just physical; it’s beyond the physical; it’s what animates and sustains us every day. A life force energy that extends beyond the body and connects us all to Oneness (a universal energy) that is present in all places at the same time; that is aware of everything and is the beginning and the end of all that is, ever was or ever will be. This is not just a theory; it’s something that you can sense within yourself, especially when you tune in to your body and emotions. It’s a quiet source of love, patience, strength, healing and resilience.
My mission is to help tap into that source and guide individuals through troubled waters, focusing on post-traumatic growth, sustainable change, and the rediscovery of their own power and gifts; to help shift awareness, to shift perspectives to help create balance and alignment with their highest good.
So, you see, you are not alone on this journey, all that ever was walks with you, and together, we can set sail toward a brighter tomorrow uncovering hope, resilience, and the light that still shines in you. You are meant to be here. (https://www.wetalkingrief.com/post/you-are-meant-to-be-here)
What I am not … is a mental health practitioner, in the sense that I’m not a therapist, nor mental health counselor. I am a coach, an “accountability partner.” I’m not in judgement. I don’t analyze. I don’t focus on why you find yourself in these circumstances, we know why. It’s because something that truly matters to you, something that you are attached to is now absent from this life and you need help dealing with it.
Why do I do this work?
Because I’m called to do it. Not from a theological standpoint, no. I say that I’m called because what I do in helping other people, I was born to do. I am an introvert by nature, but making a difference in the lives of people comes naturally to me.
When my son Jason was murdered, that was the worst thing that has ever happened to me, to this day.
And…it was a thing that significantly changed my life in a favorable way. I know this because I’m on the other side of it.
Going through it was hell, but it was the catalyst for me to recognize the true power of who we are as human beings. How resilient we are. How gifted we are.
My grief journey took me to the soul of who I am and brought back with it the knowledge of my ability to help so many others, as I have done, through it all.
I do it to help us heal ourselves, to recognize the power of who we are, the gift that we are.
I do this work because it matters. Because you matter.
Love You Son
