My services focus on offering gentle guidance and compassionate support as you explore what "aging and living well to the end of life" means to you. Together, we engage in meaningful activities that honor what matters most to you. Below are just a few examples of the support I've provided in the past, though each person's care is always uniquely tailored to their needs: 

Emotional and Spiritual Support:

• Deep Listening: Providing a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and fears.

• Helping you understand what to expect during the dying process.

• Assisting with processing emotions, fears, and anxieties around death, supporting acceptance and peace.

• Addressing deep soul wounds and offering opportunities for healing through deep listening and compassion, with the option of anointing with sacred oils for those who choose. 

• Providing spiritual support through prayers, meditations, or guided visualizations to reduce anxiety.

Practical Assistance:

• Support with prioritizing time based on your values to preserve energy.

• Assisting with understanding advance directives and creating your end-of-life wishes.

• Creating a Sacred Space: to help create and hold a loving, calm, and peaceful space, whether in a hospital or hospice home. This sacred environment allows for healing, reflection, and peace.

• Vigil planning—preparing and coordinating elements to bring comfort and support during the final days and hours of life.

Holistic Therapies:

• Gentle touch therapies, such hand or foot massages, to ease discomfort.  

• Color and Space: Using colors and atmosphere to support emotional well-being.

• Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry to promote relaxation and comfort.

• Using sacred oils to rebalance and align body, spirit, and soul, helping to clear the energy fields.

• Providing soothing sound therapy with gentle music, toning, or sounds from nature to create a calming atmosphere.

• Guided Breathing Techniques, Creative Visualizations and Meditations: Assisting in soothing anxiety and finding inner peace.

• Presence and holding space. 

Meaningful Activities:

• Companionship while appreciating simple joys, such as birdsong, sunsets, or the sound of the wind.

• Creating homemade cards or keepsakes for loved ones.

• Compiling collections of favorite poetry, prayers, or quotes.

• Engaging in arts and crafts or other creative projects.

• Listening to favorite music or enjoying musical activities.

• Spending time outside or taking neighborhood strolls, if feasible.

• Supporting legacy projects, life reviews, and dignity therapy. (see below). 

These are just a few ways I can support you. Your care is tailored to your wishes, whether through meaningful activities or simply being present with you, without an agenda, meeting you where you are.

Legacy Samples

"Everyone must leave something behind when he dies,

My grandfather said.

A child or a book or a painting

or a house or a wall built or

a pair of shoes made.

Or a garden 

planted. 

Something your hand touched

some way so...when people look at 

that tree or that flower you planted,

you're there."
