There is no one path to healing.
That is why we offer options for 1:1 support from our Certified Counselors as well as our Pregnancy & Infant Loss Coach’s so that you can choose the path that is right for you.

Program Assistant
Shelagh (she/her) brings with her a solid background as an admin in a variety of areas from business, academia and now with a charitable organization with the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Center. She feels passionate about working in a role that benefits others in the community.
Shelagh was exposed to bereavement and deep grief at an early age and it left her with a profound sense of how fragile life is and how we need to find joy and light wherever we can. She feels privileged to be able to take this sense with her into her role with PILSC while putting her strong admin skills to good use.
