## Introduction
Joy Rigberg is a credentialed recovery coach who founded Next Step Recovery Coaching after the sudden death of her life partner, Sanjay. Her brief chapter describes that loss and the Bio-Energetic Synchronization Techniques (B.E.S.T.) she now uses to help others move through grief.
Listening to my inner voice has led to many life experiences. The most transformative is the sudden death of my life partner Sanjay.
The day after Thanksgiving, after playing two games of pickleball, he lowered himself to the ground. As I held his head I screamed and prayed for him to breathe before he died in my arms at just fifty-three years old.
This highly personal and devastating trauma has now required me to learn how to move through the grieving process myself as a creden- tialed professional of recovery coaching.
The first step forward for me was to learn the layers of trauma. One of mine was captured like a still photograph at the pickleball court and stored in my subconscious where it manifested pain, anger, sadness and more.
Then I applied Bio-Energetic Synchronization Techniques (B.E.S.T.) to rebalance the energy flow in my nervous system, initiate physical healing and the mental and emotional lifting of my spirit, and a deep- er reconnection with my inner voice and joy.
The byproduct of bio-energetic synchronization treatments, both in my receiving it and delivering it to clients biweekly, has made a tre- mendous impact on how I’m now moving through grief.
If you have experienced loss or trauma, struggle to see light at the end of the tunnel, and are disconnected from your joy, I am clear that beyond my duty and response-ability for me to live in joy, I am here to help you do the same using B.E.S.T. and my recovery coaching as a life experienced, credentialed professional.
