End of Life Planning
The best you can give to your loved ones is to have a heart-to-heart conversation
Reflecting and speaking about death is not a macabre act, but a way of understanding life, prompting us to love, leave our mark, and value the present moment.
Having these conversations can be difficult; however, it will be helpful for you and them to speak about death and dying; to have your affairs in order, prepare your Advance Care Planning, to share with them your wishes, and to ask they honour our choices when you can no longer speak for yourself.
Regardless of our age, we should all have conversations about death and dying before we find ourselves face to face with our own mortality. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to support you every step of the way.
WHAT I OFFER AS AN END OF THE LIFE ADVISOR
Support for what lies ahead
Advance Care Planning
I guide you through the preparation of your Advance Care Plan, a deeply personal process that invites you to reflect on your values and wishes. This ensures your family and loved ones know what kind of health and personal care you would want in the future, when you can no longer speak for yourself.
Facilitating End of Life Conversations
Having these conversations before a crisis arises can help you and your loved ones feel more prepared when healthcare professionals speak with you about your care and specific needs. I provide a gentle, supportive, and structured space where you can speak openly with the people who matter most, ensuring your wishes are understood, documented, and honoured.
Knowing what to say to family members — and when to say it — is not always easy. You do not have to navigate these conversations alone. I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
A Space to Speak Openly
Many people carry deep anxiety and fear around death simply because they have never had the chance to speak about it freely. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore those feelings, ease the weight of the unknown, and find a quiet sense of peace with what lies ahead.
Holistic Complementary Therapies
I offer non-invasive holistic therapies, including Therapeutic Touch, Mindfulness, and Reiki to naturally ease pain and reduce anxiety, encourage rest and relaxation, and help manage the side effects of treatment. These therapies support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Counselling During Active Treatment
Living through active treatment for a terminal illness is one of the most challenging experiences a person and their family can face. I offer compassionate counselling that gently guides the sensitive conversations that might otherwise never happen, for both patients and those caring for them.
Rituals & Celebrations of Life
I support the planning and creation of meaningful rituals and celebrations of life for a dying person, including those who may not have loved ones present. Every life deserves to be honoured with intention and care.
Legacy Projects
Death is a community event. It is about sharing wisdom and leaving behind a legacy of love and healing for those who survive us. I collaborate with you to create a Legacy Project that reflects who you are and what you wish to leave behind.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
Here for you beyond planning
Beyond end-of-life planning, I also offer continued grief and bereavement counselling and support for survivors after a loss.
​
I help the terminally ill and those who love them find peace with death and dying. Together, we can create a space where fears are heard and gently eased, and where you can prepare as peacefully as possible for what lies ahead.
When you leave this earth, you can't take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given.
