We live in a culture that has forgotten how to be with death, and how to tend to our dying. Closed up in hospitals and nursing homes, death has been erased from our communal experience.

This was not always so. Humans have for all time, until the very recent present cared for their dying, and marked this time with ceremony and ritual. Death was a family affair, a community care project, and a rite of passage.

I have spent 20 years working in aging services, crossing over the threshold of death with many families over these years. I have learned so much, both the beauty that can arise and the heartbreak of not tending this precious time well.

It is a deep honor to be present for others as they navigate the process of the death of a loved one, to assist them to do this skillfully, and with purpose. The end of life can be a time of profound healing for the individual who is leaving this life, as well as those who love them.

Families and support systems are often overwhelmed as the end of life draws nearer, emotions are high, and many factors need to be attended to. I offer support so that you can focus on the most essential part of this transition, the making of meaning and the healing of connection as one you love prepares to leave this life behind.

I also offer support to craft rituals to mark this sacred time of ending, both during the dying process, and after death as a celebration of life, or a grief ritual.

I offer consultation, and facilitation of end-of-life rituals, post-death bereavement rituals, and memorial services.

Please reach out to me if you wish to schedule a complimentary discovery call or if you wish to know more about my services in the area of end-of-life care. It would be an honor to walk this passage with you.
