coaching for those facing death & their caregivers
Closing out one’s life is the final chapter of living. And like all stages of life, it has unique challenges and opportunities — for those who are dying and for those who are accompanying them. By creating an atmosphere of safety and openness, you can experience extraordinary authenticity, love, sharing, courage and peace, even when there is discomfort, disability, and ultimately, death.

For anyone wanting to live the final stage of life on your own terms, I provide the support and guidance for you to be fully in charge of your life and death. You define what it means to you to have a good death. You choose your own chosen sacred circle of caregivers. You decide where you want to die. You decide how you want to address pain. And you can decide to delegate decisions to someone you trust.

For anyone wanting to be fully present and supportive to someone you love at the end of their life, I provide the support and guidance to help you balance your needs with your loved ones. To understand the dying process and what people need. To be fully present with them in their life, at their death, and in your grief. (continue)

workshops for end-of-life planning
One of the most important things anyone can give themselves and their loved ones, is written, clear, unequivocal directions about how you would like to face the end of your life.

Terry Schiavo was in her 30’s when she went into a coma from brain damage. Her husband and her parents disagreed as to whether or not she would have wanted to continue to live in that state. After many years of legal entanglement, the entire country watched in horror as her end-of-life decisions were debated and determined by the US Senate.

Don’t let this happen to you or your loved ones!

In a three hour workshop you will get an overview of the end-of-life issues that need thoughtful consideration, and guidance preparing the necessary documents that everyone, regardless of age, should have. (continue)

designing and guiding ceremony & ritual
There are few times in life when ceremony and ritual are more moving and meaningful than at the end of someone’s life. I help you design beautiful, personal ceremonies and rituals that create connection, love and healing while the person is still alive. I work with you to design gatherings to bring people together to reflect, honor and grieve after someone dies. (continue)
