End of Life Planning
Compassionate support and guidance for the whole end-of-life journey.
Helping with Legal documents
Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA), Enduring Power of Guardianship (EPG), Will. What is the difference, and how to prepare the legal documents?
Creating an End-of-Life Plan
Dying is not only a medical event; it is a deeply personal event. Based on meaningful conversations, I can help you create your End-of-Life Plan that reflects your individual preferences and beliefs.
Part of the plan is: ongoing support, advocating for your choices, and working with you to get the available support you need.
The Advance Care Directive is a legally binding document that sets out your wishes directly to your medical treatment providers, should you be unable to communicate those wishes for medical treatments.
Vigil and Holistic After-Death Body Care
It is a sacred moment when our loved one dies. It is a moment of transition. But we are often rushed to the next step, to action. Slowing time down to sit with our person and care for them, providing the last ritual bath, is a profoundly spiritual experience. It can bring peace, love and gratitude.
Active Dying Support
I guide people living with a terminal illness and their caregivers and families through the active dying process. Helping them to understand what is happening and what may happen. Providing assurance, practical and emotional comfort.
Family/Community Bereavement Support
Many say that the worst grieving moment is not when the loved one has died, or during the funeral or shortly after. It is when everything is done, and family/partners/friends are left alone. The grief doesn't diminish. It doesn't go away. It hits in waves.
Grief takes away more than the loved person: your free breath, friends, your life as you knew it. I can be a constant in your life when ups and downs hit.
Funerals & Family Led Funerals
Family-led funeral involves family, friends, and community members actively organising and participating in the arrangements, caring for the loved one, and planning the ceremony and farewell. The benefit is deep personalisation and authenticity, stronger emotional healing and bonding, and the option to choose rather than follow a prescribed scenario.

My Offerings
I offer an active relaxation in the form of BREATH WORK, MEDITATION and GENTLE EXERCISE to enhance comfort, reduce symptoms, and support your emotional and spiritual well-being.
We have different values, and various things are essential for us in life. I will follow your lead in the care you want. It can only be a practical and informative support. Or you want to explore your spirituality, create a memoir, or sit together in the quiet and let whatever needs to be said find its way out.
Accepting that our time is finite is scary. But if we can let the fear, regrets, anger and resentment go, the time we have can be a profound time of healing, peace and love.
"But when the end is no longer denied, we stop treating life like something to hoard—and begin treating it like something to spend well.”
[From the essay "Of Power and Time by Mary Oliver]
