From Grief to Gratitude Coaching®
IOPGC is a Proud International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coaching Education Accredited Provider
Grief is a universal experience and no individual or organization is exempt from its profound impact. We are forging a future where compassion and growth intertwine, guiding us from grief to gratitude and beyond.
The Institute of Professional Grief Coaching (IOPGC) is a grief coaching education and certification organization that trains individuals, professionals, and organizations to support people through grief using a heart-centered, non-therapeutic coaching model. The business also extends beyond certification into media, publishing, and consumer education through GRIEF TV on The Roku Channel, Udemy courses and books by founder Dora Carpenter.
Its unique value proposition is its explicit reframing of grief from something purely dark and debilitating into a transformative journey toward growth, purpose, and gratitude. IOPGC differentiates itself by combining professional coach training, personal grief education, founder-led thought leadership, and accessible multi-channel content into a unified ecosystem centered on emotional resilience and post-loss renewal. Its business model blends premium live certification, self-paced digital education, niche professional training, media distribution, and intellectual property-driven brand expansion.
Grief rarely moves in a straight line. One day a person is handling work, family, and daily routines. The next, a birthday, voicemail, anniversary, or empty chair can bring everything back to the surface. In those moments, many people ask not only what is a grief coach, but whether this kind of support can help them keep living while carrying loss.
