SERVICES
Support for wherever you are in the journey.
Support
No two experiences of death or grief are the same. My work is personal, flexible, and rooted in compassion and clarity. Sometimes that means sitting quietly. Sometimes it means paperwork and hard conversations. Often it’s a bit of both.
End-of-Life Planning
For when you want to prepare — calmly, clearly, and on your own terms.
Vigil and Dying Support
For when death is near, and presence matters most.
Grief and Transition Support
For the days, months, or years after — because grief doesn’t end with a funeral.
Community & Education
Small group sessions and workshops about death, grief, and planning — open spaces to talk, learn, and connect.
The Details
Dive deeper into how I can support you through death and grief.
End-of-Life Planning
End-of-life planning isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about creating clarity while you can, so decisions aren’t left to chance, or to the people you love in a moment of stress.
This is a space to think things through, ask questions, and make choices that reflect what matters most to you.
No pressure. Just thoughtful, practical support.
-
1. Getting your wishes out of your head and onto paper
We’ll talk through your preferences for care, decision-making, and what matters most to you at the end of life. This can include advance care planning, personal values, and the kind of support you’d want (or not want).2. Organizing the practical details
Passwords, accounts, documents, contacts, all the things that can become overwhelming later. We’ll create a clear, accessible system so everything is easy to find when it’s needed.3. Health care planning support
Understanding options like advance directives and representation agreements (in BC), and helping you feel confident in the decisions you’re making. I don’t provide legal advice, but I can help you prepare and connect you with the right professionals.4. Legacy and reflection
If it feels important to you, we can explore ways to capture your stories, values, or messages, for yourself or for the people in your life.5. Planning ahead for after death
Discussing preferences for funeral or memorial, body disposition, and the kind of experience you’d want for those gathering in your honour.6. Support for starting the conversation
Many people don’t know how to bring this up with family or loved ones. We’ll find a way that feels natural and true to you. -
Sessions are paced to you. Some people come with a checklist. Others don’t know where to start. We begin wherever you are.
This work can be done in a single session or over time, depending on what you need. There’s no “right” way to do it, just your way.
-
Planning ahead can:
Reduce stress and decision-making for loved ones

Vigil and Dying Support
For when death is near, and presence matters most.
Gentle, grounded support at bedside or from afar
Guidance for family members on what to expect
Coordination alongside hospice or medical teams
Holding space for love, fear, and everything in between
Grief and Transition Support
For the days, months, or years after — because grief doesn’t end with a funeral.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t resolve neatly, and it doesn’t always look the way people expect.
This is a space where nothing needs to be fixed or rushed. A place to talk, sit, reflect, or simply have someone alongside you as you move through it.
Whether your loss is recent or long past, support can still matter.
-
1. A steady place to talk
You don’t need to have the “right” words. We can talk about your person, your experience, or whatever is coming up that day.2. Support through life transitions
Grief often overlaps with change, loss of identity, shifts in relationships, returning to work, or navigating milestones without someone. We can work through what that looks like for you.3. Understanding what grief can feel like
Grief can show up in the body, in energy levels, in focus and memory. If helpful, I can share context so you can better understand what you’re experiencing.4. Gentle ways to support your body and mind
This might include simple practices like movement, rest, or grounding, nothing complicated, just options to support you where you are.5. Resources and referrals
If you’re looking for additional support, I can help connect you with counsellors, grief groups, or other services in your community.6. Making space for remembrance
If it feels right, we can explore ways to stay connected to your person, through rituals, anniversaries, or everyday moments. -
Sessions are flexible and led by you. Some days you might want to talk. Other days might be quieter.
We move at your pace, with no expectation of progress or outcome. This can be short-term support or something you return to over time.
-
Grief can feel isolating, especially after the initial support fades.
Having a place to bring it — without needing to filter, explain, or move on — can make it a little less heavy.
Community & Education
Small group sessions and workshops about death, grief, and planning — open spaces to talk, learn, and connect.
Coming soon
Conversations about death and grief are often pushed to the side — until we’re forced into them.
These sessions are a way to bring them forward, gently and openly, in a space where people can learn, share, or simply listen.
No expertise needed. No pressure to speak. Just room to be part of the conversation.
-
1. Death Cafés
Casual, facilitated gatherings where people come together to talk about death over tea or coffee. No agenda, no presentations, just open, respectful conversation.2. Grief discussion groups
Small group spaces to share experiences of loss, hear from others, and feel a little less alone in it.3. Guided planning sessions
Working through end-of-life planning topics together — from values and wishes to practical checklists — in a way that feels supported and less overwhelming.4. Educational workshops
Simple, accessible sessions that explore topics like advance care planning, what happens at end of life, and how to support someone who is grieving.5. Support for community-led groups
If you’re interested in hosting a death café or grief circle, I can offer guidance, structure, and facilitation support to help you get started. -
Sessions will be offered in small groups, both in-person and virtually.
Some will be one-time workshops. Others may run as a series.
You can join in whatever way feels right — to learn, to listen, or to take part.
-
When these conversations happen in community, they become a little less intimidating.
We start to understand what we want, how to support each other, and how to face what’s ahead with a bit more clarity.
