Walking with you at End of Life.

Deeply personalized support at every step, from practical to mystical.

Support designed for your journey.

My deepest level of support, with you at every step.

Emotional Support via Compassionate Listening

The core of my death accompaniment service is emotional support through deep listening. Whether you need to talk through reflections on your journey, relationships with loved ones, your legacy, or just need support to get through a rough week, I’m listening.

Rituals and Meaning Making

Need to let go of regrets, connect with hope, or put your trust in a higher power? Need to get out of emotional stuckness? A tangible ritual is a powerful tool to help meet your spiritual and emotional needs. I create bespoke rituals based on your sources of meaning, worldview, and spiritual needs.

Education

Whatever questions you have, we’ll explore them together, drawing on my years of experience working in death care in Minnesota. I’ll help you find resources, answer questions, and get your needs met.

Vigil Support

What do you want your period of active dying to be like? We’ll make a plan together and communicate it to your circle of care.

I’m available for bedside support for extended periods of time that other providers like hospice cannot match, providing consistency and peacefulness, and aligning your final days to your needs and values.

Legacy Projects

Whether it looks like writing next year’s Christmas cards, a memorial bench at your favorite park, or a video capturing your most meaningful life stories, we can make a legacy project that’s totally unique to you and that embodies your values.

It starts with a conversation.

Our first 30-minute conversation, at no cost, is meant to explore if we want to work together.

Once we decide to work with one another, we begin with a set of two 2-hour conversations.

In the first conversation, we will discuss your hopes, goals, needs, and areas where you want the most support. I will learn about your individual values, what you find most meaningful in life, and your fears or worries about your end of life journey. I’ll talk you through my big menu of options for what support can look like and see what resonates with you.

In our second conversation, I’ll present a care plan or, usually, several plan options based on our first conversation. What we do together is up to you; I’m here to help you whittle down a huge range of options into something that will provide peace, comfort, and support, without being overwhelming. Together we’ll journey through the fear, through the logistics, and towards what matters most to you at this sacred time.
