A Path Beyond Traditional Answers

When standard advice fell short, a deeper, more personal journey began

Kreed Revere CMC, CFEC

Meet Your Guide to Healing

There was a time when Kreed found herself navigating the pain and confusion of estrangement—first as a daughter separated from her mother and later as a mother estranged from her own daughters. Traditional methods didn’t offer the solace or understanding she sought. Instead, they left her feeling stuck and unseen.

It was through therapy, looking within, self-reflection, her own personal journey of healing and then reconciliation that Kreed found compassion, clarity and purpose.

She realized that estrangement is rarely just about the other person—it’s also about our own growth and healing.

Today, as a certified estrangement coach, Kreed combines her lived experiences with professional training to guide others through their own journeys. Her compassionate, no-judgment approach is here to help you find peace, rebuild connections, or move forward with clarity—whichever path feels right for you.

From Both Sides of Estrangement

Kreed’s personal journey as both a daughter and a mother gives her a unique perspective to guide others through healing, understanding, and reconnection.

I’ve Walked This Path As A Daughter

My estrangement experiences began for me as a daughter, separated three different times from my mother. I’ve felt the tremendous pain, longing, and confusion that come with a deep wound of never feeling seen or truly heard. This experience shaped my understanding of what it truly takes to navigate the emotional barriers that keep us apart.

I’ve Felt the Heartbreak As A Mother

Later in life, I experienced estrangement again - this time from my own daughters. This was an entirely different kind of pain - one filled with shame, anger, feelings of abandonment and deep rejection. I know firsthand what it's like to carry the weight of wanting to fix the relationship and reconnect while also feeling significant loss.

My Journey Led Me to This Work

These two perspectives, as both an adult child and a mother, gave me a unique understanding of estrangement. They fueled my passion to study and develop the skills to help others. Now, I combine my lived experiences with professional expertise to guide families through the complexities of estrangement.

Working with Kreed has been life-changing in my estrangement and reconciliation journey. I discovered her through The Estranged Heart podcast during one of the darkest times in my life. Her words felt like a life raft in a sea of despair, offering hope when I needed it most.

I began one-on-one coaching with her and later joined her support groups. The tools I’ve learned from her have been invaluable and feel like a compass guiding me through the difficult and often uncertain terrain of this journey. Kreed has a straightforward yet compassionate way of shedding light on the things I couldn’t see, including the choices I was making that were holding me back.

Through it all, I have never felt judged or dismissed, only deeply understood in my imperfect humanness. Through Kreed’s guidance, I have been able to connect with my courage and curiosity when reconnecting with my formerly estranged child, and today, we are reconciled and have made tremendous progress in our relationship. I truly don’t think we would be where we are today if I hadn’t taken that first step and asked for her help.

My life has changed so much since working with her. She has given me the strength to face hard truths and move forward with clarity and hope. I will always be grateful.

"I would NOT be where I am today without the support, encouragement and guidance which I have received from Kreed"


The 1st year that I was estranged from my adult son was filled with pain, shame, anger, confusion and an overwhelming feeling of being alone. It was one of the darkest times of my life.


I came to the realization that I could not figure out or fix this relationship on my own - everything that I had tried: reaching out, gifts, family therapy did not bring my son back into relationship with me. Some of what I tried even made things worse. My son kept saying "You're not ready" and "I need to time to heal". I did not understand at all what he meant by these statements.

Not until I found the Estranged Heart Podcast, over a year later, did my thinking about estrangement shift. After bingeing on episode after episode, I didn't feel so alone and became brave enough to reach out to Kreed.


Kreed gave me many options to work with her and I decided to enter into individual coaching. She has been an unwavering source of support, encouragement and guidance on this journey called Estrangement.


With Kreed's guidance I no longer see myself as a victim. I learned to give my son the gift of space and patience. I decided to immerse myself in my own healing and through the process learned better communication skills, wrote a genuine and heartfelt Amends letter to my son, learned to be a consultant instead of a manager in all of my relationships, and importantly to pause, breathe and reflect before taking action.


This journey is slow and arduous, but I'm happy to share that I'm now reconciled with my son and have been for over a year.
It's now been 3 and a 1/2 years since this journey began and I am NOT the same person that I was. I have grown in many ways and am now more open and curious than in the past.


I know that I continue to need support through the reconciliation process as being reconciled has it's own challenges. Mostly, I don't want to fall back into old habits with my son. I therefore attend the Reconciled Mother's Group which Kreed offers, thankfully. My journey is NOT over and more than likely, never will be.

I have had the very good fortune of working individually with Kreed over the past few months. I sought out a specialist in estrangement, as I was experiencing this with my mother at the time.

I wanted someone who specialized in the subtlety and complexity of working through reestablishing healthy boundaries, as an adult child, with a parent. I'm so grateful that I found Kreed. Over the course of 10 sessions, she consistently provided me with a safe and supportive space where I could talk through all of my thoughts and feelings about the relationship and how I was seeking to have it be transformed.

I've experienced the power of “no contact” as a tool to reestablish a healthy dynamic between parent and child. One of the most helpful insights for me working with Kreed was the consistent reinforcement of prioritizing my own self-care in as a loving and respectful means to show up in relationship.

I also recognized self trust as an essential ingredient to continue progressing on my journey. I would highly recommend Kreed to any potential clients. You will find each session valuable and helpful.

"I discovered Kreed's Facebook group when I was in tremendous pain and stress over some of my kids not speaking to me. I had tried other online support groups but was disillusioned by the anger and vitriol on those groups. It just made me feel worse.

At first, Kreed's group threw me off and I couldn't relate to this new outlook of trying to look inside of me to understand better what had happened and what I could do to fix myself. But with time, this method grew on me and I began to understand and accept it. After a year of listening to Kreed's podcasts, I finally decided to hire her for coaching.


We went through two rounds of coaching. Kreed helped me take an in-depth look at my own upbringing, which brought to light some interesting discoveries about my parents, and gave me so much insight into why I react in some of the ways I do. She helped me over and over to see my situation with my kids differently; to pause and reflect and get curious instead of reacting; to put myself in their shoes (as best I could); to have grace and forgiveness in my heart for them and for myself.

Kreed is a very understanding, gentle, and caring coach, who has been through the same things her clients have been through, so she really gets it in a very deep way. She even had a session with my husband and brought him fully on board with parts of estrangement that he couldn't understand.

After 9 months, I knew that I was ready to gently bid Kreed goodbye when I didn't have anything further to talk about in our sessions! I've learned a tremendous amount and am truly a different mother to those of my kids who never estranged, to my two formerly estranged sons, and even to my one remaining estranged son. I understand the dynamics of estrangement so much more fully now and I am stronger, more empathetic, and more curious than I've ever been in my life.

Kreed's guidance and advice has even helped strengthen my personal relationships with my husband and friends.

If you are still on the fence, climb down and sign up with Kreed today! She has been a Godsend!
