Terri Chaplin, HeartMath Certified Mentor, Certified Master Grief Coach, Premier Accredited Course Provider

Terri Chaplin is a Certified Grief Companion, Educator, Accredited Course Provider, and a Best Selling Author, devoted to restoring compassion to the heart of grief care. She is the creator of The Ethical Grief Support™ Standard, a framework designed to guide professionals in supporting grief with integrity, presence, and care. Through years of lived experience and professional training, she gently supports individuals in grief while empowering professionals with the tools to communicate compassionately, build resilience, and lead with heart.

Terri’s approach is rooted in presence, deep listening, and the sacred art of companioning - offering steady, non-judgmental support through life’s most vulnerable moments. After the profound losses of her first husband and son, she recognized how transactional systems often fail to honor the humanity of grief. These experiences now fuel her mission: to bring warmth, wisdom, and integrity to grief support and professional training.

As the founder of Living in Gratitude with TLC and Healing Hearts Community, Terri leads accredited certification programs and heart-centered trainings designed to strengthen empathy and communication in those who serve others. Her work bridges the personal and professional, guiding others to walk alongside grief with grace, courage, and compassion.
