end of life care

death is an inevitable experience we all face.
yet, we avoid thinking about it, talking about it, and planning for it until we are in crisis mode. it doesn't have to be this way.

a doula is an advocate offering compassionate support + education across a spectrum of needs like:
stress, fear + anxiety reduction
advance care planning + wish fulfillment
facilitated communication
bedside caregiver relief
to reduce suffering, uncertainty + overwhelm so that the dying person and their supporters can feel more at peace with the transitional time. ultimately, this can create space for the dying to have "a good death."
it is important to note that you nor your loved ones need to be near death in order to benefit from working with an end of life doula. planning can begin at any time, and is often less taxing when done before reaching that critical time.
sliding scale available for one on one work, beginning at $30.

 join the inspired living forum on death + dying

Picture
often, the first step in cultivating a thoughtful + healthy relationship with death and dying is to simply be willing to explore them.
with subtle amusement i often say that "talking about death won't kill you." rather, when you are willing to contemplate, confront + share your experiences with others, you find inspiration, connection + a greater relationship with what Mary Oliver calls "your one wild and precious life."
i've curated a 4-week forum based on themes and practices from a book that both stretched + comforted me in my personal journey with death, dying, grief and loss, and that ultimately led me to become an end of life doula.
this forum is offered several times per year and each forum is limited to 8 people in order to provide space within an intimate + safe container.
join me for this potent group journey.
