Processing the Unimaginable

Meet Adrienne Petrino —a creative, grief movement guide, coach, facilitator, speaker, and author of Let All Of It In, a collection of 20 poems that offer glimpses into her heartfelt and emotional journey through grief, loss, and healing.

Drawing on her background in movement, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, Adrienne partners with individuals, businesses, and organizations to create space for healing, empathy, activation, and growth. Grounded in values of curiosity, connection, and kindness, her coaching style is defined by ‘Dancing in the Moment’—adapting each session to meet individuals and groups where they are in their grief while addressing their unique emotional and physical needs.

As a PCC, ICF-certified Transformational Life and Grief Coach, Adrienne holds certifications in Trauma-Informed Leadership Fundamentals with Rev. Heather Wagner, Dare to Lead with Brené Brown, Grief Movement with Paul Denniston, and Transforming Trauma and Grief with David Kessler and Alex Howard. Her research and practice focuses on exploring and unleashing the power of trust and transformation during times of unwanted change.
