      About the Program

      “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

      11 Principles of Transformation®

      “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.”
