  • Explore your preferences through real-world scenarios (life support, palliative care, dementia, organ donation, pain management, DNR/VSED, etc.).

  • Receive tools and resources to share your wishes with family and healthcare providers.

  • Complete or update Advance Directives and other paperwork.

Package Details

  • Two one-hour meetings 


End-of-Life Coaching 

Dying is both a tender ending and a sacred passage. My role is to walk beside you and your loved ones—to bring calm, clarity, and presence—so you can spend your time focusing on what truly matters. Together, we will prepare for what we can, while also making space for the unknown that cannot be planned..

What we may explore together

  • Writing your wishes into Advance Directives so your voice is always heard.

  • Vision mapping for your final chapter—what matters most in your last season of life.

  • Looking back with love—life review, storytelling, or legacy projects that carry your essence forward.

  • Exploring options for funerals, memorials, and eco-conscious farewells.

  • Gentle practices—visualization, breath, or touch—that bring peace and presence.

  • Holding space for worries, questions, and conversations that matter most.

  • Supporting family and caregivers in understanding what to expect, and helping them find steadiness in the unknown.

  • Designing a vigil or final days that feel intentional, sacred, and true to you.

  • Beginning tender conversations about what happens after—funeral, eulogy, memory-keeping.

  • Connecting you with additional care and support, as needed.

  • Planning ways for your circle of care to continue healing and honoring after death.
