About Lyn Prashant
Dr. Lyn Prashant, PhD, FT, is a certified grief counselor (John F. Kennedy University's Graduate School of Professional Psychology) with over 24 years experience in the field. Her training in bereavement counseling and her knowledge of somatic health care practices (she is a certified yoga instructor, massage therapist and physical education teacher) has led her to develop a unique and successful approach to grief counseling called "degriefing".
Lyn's combined academic, professional and personal experiences convinced her that grieving individuals with serious or lasting ailments would benefit from experiencing a holistic healing regime. Her training includes somatic studies with an emphasis on health care (she is a degreed physical education instructor, a certified yoga instructor and a certified massage therapist) as well as counseling services (she received her certification from the Grief Counseling Certification Program at JFK University, School of Graduate Psychology).
She is one of the few professional grief counselors working in the United States to specifically address the somatic (related to the body) aspects of grief. [...]
