Please join me, Kathy MacMannis, Rosanne Groover Norris, and Patti May, our Affiliate Directors, as we welcome our newest Co-Affiliate Leader, Renee Jaunsem Novotny, who will be helping Kelley Worth in Western North Carolina! We are grateful to have you as a member of our team.
About Renee:
Hello, I'm Renee Novotny and I live in Asheville, NC. My son Ryan Wong, forever 27, loved nature and hiking Colorado's 14ers. On February 24, 2023, Ryan's adventurous soul left his body during an ice climbing accident. Our family began experiencing beautiful signs and miracle moments while Ryan was in ICU.
I attended WNC HPH's first meeting in March 2023. Through HPH, I discovered how I can continue to have a relationship with my son in spirit. I love communicating with Ryan, especially while hiking. Our bond continues to grow as we share memories and new experiences together.
I'm honored to co-facilitate our WNC HPH group alongside Kelley Worth, fostering hope, healing, and compassion with our members. We believe our children in spirit lovingly guide us, inspiring us to embrace life fully while honoring their memories, as we navigate our grief and healing journeys together.
About Kelley:
Kelley is a classically trained mental health clinician. She practiced for 20 years in various group practices, inpatient and outpatient programs. She offered support and healing to families and adolescents in individual sessions and group work. When she and her husband were blessed with a child, she retired. They moved to North Carolina to live a more sustainable lifestyle and Kelley chose to be a stay at home mom. Rob and Kelley had 16 years of love, life and adventures with their daughter ~ Aleia Jade. In May of 2022, Aleia transitioned herself to seek relief from PTSD and depression. In the wake of the pain of their only child, their vibrant daughter leaving, she started searching for answers about “what happens next?” In that journey she was led to find Suzanne Geisemann and her work, which lead to finding Helping Parents Heal. This is where her healing began. Learning to live in her grief and learning to strengthen her soul connection to her beautiful daughter. It is the continuing support and proof that HPH offers that led me to want to start a group in our area.
