Hi, I'm Amanda Lambros - Director of the Grief Recovery Institute of Australasia. I'm a wife, mother and daughter. I have experienced numerous losses throughout my life...both tangible and intangible.

Over eighteen years ago, I migrated from Canada to Australia for the sole purpose of completing a Masters’ degree in Forensic Sexology. Having already completed degrees in Health Sciences, Ethics and Counselling, I had a love of learning and travelling which collided and brought me to Perth, Western Australia. My intended 18 months stay in Australia has now turned into nearly 20 years on this beautiful island.

I've worked with thousands of couples as a relationship educator and counsellor and then I noticed that the more clients I saw, the more they expressed that they were 'grievers'. This sent me on a mission to find out as much as possible about Grief and Loss to help guide my clients.

Courses, professional development, workshops and seminars,...there was still something was missing. I then stumbled across the Grief Recovery Institute and flew to Canada to complete training in Toronto.

When the founder of the program, John W. James himself showed up to run the training – I knew that I was going to enjoy the learning process. Tragedy hit the second day of training with the death of my only half-brother – long story short…rather than leaving training (as that was my first thought), I persisted because John said “You’re in the perfect place at the perfect time”…he couldn’t have been more correct!

The training was life altering and now the reason that I am the Executive Director of the Grief Recovery Institute of Australasia.

After 3 additional years of training with the Grief Recovery Institute, I am pleased to bring the program to this side of the world and love sharing the teachings with others.

I am always happy to answer questions about training and the method.

I am married to Owen and I have two sons, Lance & Blake, who keep me active and up to date with my first aid skills.

When I'm not delivering Grief Recovery training, you can find me reading books, enjoying a sneaky romantic comedy or simply spending time with family and friends.
