    What People Say
    About the Program

    Cinco estrellas doradas representando la alta satisfacción de los participantes en el programa de Ligia Houben sobre el duelo y la transformación personal.

    “My dearest Ligia and Group of the Eleven Principles of Transformation, I want to share that, although I had not taken time to write because I am too busy making use of the Eleven Principles of Transformation, I’ve been thinking about each of you…and of course about Ligia, our leader and teacher. The sessions gave me great tools and I recommend it to anyone who is going through a loss or has had a loss which could not be overcome.”

    Carmen Kennett M.S.ED
    Counselor & Coach
    Nurtured Heart Approach

    “Ligia, I am grateful for the opportunity God gave me to meet you and to learn from you how to transform my son’s death into something positive. And not only that, I also learned to deal with all kinds of pain and loss of others. With what I learned from you, I can listen to others who are also suffering, even when the loss is not due to death. May God continue to bless you with this very special wisdom that He has given you, especially because of the love with which you share that wisdom.”

    Maria Gough

    “the Eleven Principles of Transformation by Ligia Houben is a very enriching experience, which allows those who have experienced a loss to find practical and useful tools to process and transform it with a new meaning for their lives. Her method utilizes experiential exercises that allow us to delve into ourselves and discover we can have a life with hope.”

    “Ligia, thank you very much for your seminar. It allowed me to acknowledge the power I have within me to heal myself and transform a difficult situation in my life into an experience that is making me see things in a whole new light.
    I also thank you for teaching me the tools to avoid temporary setbacks and help me keep working everyday on my transformation until it becomes a habit.”

    Meet Ligia M. Houben

    The creator of The 11 Principles of Transformation®

    Ligia M. Houben smiling in a pink top, standing outdoors against a green background, embodying warmth and support for those experiencing grief.

    “Hello, I am Ligia and I welcome you with open arms and an open heart.

    If you are like me, your heart has been broken more than once. This may be due to the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a loss of health, or a loss of a pet. I have experienced each one of them and I understand how difficult it is at times to face life with that void in our heart. Still, we have the power to transform this loss and transform our lives. I say this with conviction in my heart because I recently lost my beloved mother, on June 7th, 2020. I am talking to you as a bereaved daughter and I reaffirm the value of applying these principles when facing a painful loss.

    I am applying each one of them and giving myself the opportunity to heal and live with hope and love in my heart. We can choose to continue honoring our loved ones instead of continuing suffering.

    Because I want to help you move from grief to growth, I created The 11 Principles of Transformation® which includes elements from post-traumatic growth, positive psychology, mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy, and meaning-making approach. It is a step by step program that helps you embrace life after a loss because it goes beyond grief.”
