Response from the owner:We love you right back! 😘
I recently had the opportunity to participate in the 8-week Grief Recovery Method Course offered by Kaleo Collective, and it was truly a transformative experience. This program provided a safe and supportive space for women to explore their grief, reflect on individual experiences, and take meaningful steps toward healing and resolution. The structured yet compassionate approach made a significant difference in my journey.
The instructor, Christina Paling, was exceptional in fostering an environment that was both nonjudgmental and uplifting. Her deep knowledge of the Grief Recovery Method, combined with her empathy and lightheartedness, made the process approachable and reassuring. She created a space where sharing was encouraged, healing felt possible, and hope emerged—even in moments of deep emotion.
Through this course, I gained invaluable insights into grief—not only as a response to loss but also as unresolved emotional pain. We worked through steps to identify lingering grief, understand the actions needed, and ultimately move forward with greater clarity and peace. The support within the group reinforced the idea that healing is not a solitary process, but something strengthened through community and shared experiences.
I am incredibly grateful for this program and highly recommend it to anyone navigating grief. The impact of this course has been profound, equipping me with tools and perspectives that will continue to support my emotional well-being.
Response from the owner:T- we are so grateful to have you as a part of the Kaleo family story so long now. You are a light here and in so happy to hear this program has been a light in your journey 🕯️🫶🏻
I just finished the 8 week Grief Recovery program with Christina Paling and it has changed my life!
I can feel joy again without the guilt. I have a new outlook and new tools to move forward in life with.
I feel lighter and it was Amazing to write my letter, read it out loud and then let it go!
This program came to me at the exact time in my life.
I lost my 39 yr old Son Jeremy to Multiple Myeloma 20 months ago. I was lost, confused and really had no where to turn.
I was introduced to this Amazing program, I showed up, did the work and I want to say thank-you so much!
I now feel like I have a purpose again. I can feel Happy without the guilt.
I look forward to taking more of your courses and creating a better life for myself!

Response from the owner:Sharon thank you for sharing your heart and your journey with us. We are grateful that you have found some healing and support. Christina is the best at this as she cares so deeply for you women. 💕
I learned so much from my single women’s group and it was so cool to be able to communicate and learn from all the other women. Our leader Christina was the bomb! I highly recommend her
Response from the owner:We are so glad you have found us and that you are enjoying the single mom support group. We agree that Christina is pretty wonderful 😘
Where do I even begin? Kaleo deserves more than just five stars. Kaleo has created such an amazing support system for single moms. It’s a support system that provides you the tools, resources and confidence to keep you going when you sometimes feel you can’t. Layna has a heart of gold and truly the most loving, kind, generous and over all amazing person I’ve ever met. She makes every single person feel important, empowered and loved. I’ve gained some amazing friends and support systems through Kaleo and like I said, there aren’t enough stars to show how amazing Kaleo really is.
EDIT: I’ve recently taken several grief recovery courses through Kaleo, and they’ve been truly life-changing. I had Christina as my facilitator, and she was absolutely incredible. Her compassion, presence, and ability to hold space made the process feel safe, empowering, and deeply healing. She led with sincerity, warmth, and wisdom—never rushing, always listening, and constantly reminding us that healing is possible. I can’t express how grateful I am for her guidance. Christina truly has a gift, and we were lucky to be led by her. I highly recommend this program to anyone navigating loss—it’s one of the many incredible blessings Kaleo offers.
Response from the owner:Alicia you are such a beautiful part of Kaleo! It has been a blessing to watch you grow and flourish. I have no doubt that you will accomplish all the dreams in your heart. It has been so great to get to know you through your single motherhood journey into married life. Thank you pouring back into the community. You are a perfect example of how women never forget how challenging things can be as a single mom, and continually pour back into the community. You will always have a home with us. xoxo Layna
