Lee Atherton is a certified end-of-life, grief support, and resilience coach with over 15 years of experience who is honored to journey with her clients. “CoachRev,” as many know her is also a compassionate officiant whose goal is for those in attendance to feel as though they have just participated in a powerful and meaningful experience led by someone who knew the honoree well.

Shadow The Crisis Response Dog
Shadow, an English Black Lab is not only Lee’s best buddy, he is also a big part of the CoachRev team. Initially trained and certified as a service dog for Lee, Shadow has since been certified with National Crisis Response Canines. His presence, intuition, and interaction with people who are or have experienced crisis is often a very welcomed, calming and peaceful presence.

My Philosophy
“In all I do, I am driven by faith perceived as Love, Justice, and Compassion. Although my work began with and is rooted in the Christian Heritage, I welcome all. As the UCC motto states, ‘No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here! It is my strong belief that all people are created equally, and as such have a fundamental right to all I offer.“

My Mission
CoachRev is on a mission to positively impact the lives of 100,000 thousand people who have been or will be touched by death and loss. 

Whether you are religious, secular, interfaith, or simply unaffiliated with a particular religion, you are welcome here! CoachRev @the CrossRoads is LGBTQ Friendly.
