Support for navigating death anxiety, mortality, and existential distress.

Death is a universal reality. Yet no matter our age, it can be one of the hardest truths to reckon with.

Earthbound Endings offers hypnotherapy and end-of-life support for those seeking to transform their relationship with death and come into greater intimacy with life.

Facing death and finding life.

You may be arriving here in the midst of loss, change, or curiosity. Welcome.

Earthbound Endings is rooted in the belief that consciously tending to impermanence—rather than resisting it—can deepen our presence with life and reawaken a felt sense of belonging to the world. I trust that coming into relationship with mortality invites us into the fullness of interbeing – whole, held, and inseparable from the wild Earth.

A Living Ethos

I’m Victoria Levi-Word, a certified doula and hypnotherapist who transformed my lifelong fear of death through Earth-based spiritual practice.

As someone who suffered from death anxiety for over 25 years, I’ve come to see impermanence as an essential teaching that helps us become more present, enchanted, and embodied within the mystery of life.

I believe that nothing can teach us more about embracing the unknown than the Earth’s rhythms of decay and regeneration.

Through reconnecting deeply and reciprocally with nature, we can remember that we are part of something vast, ancient, and eternally alive.

Work with Me

My offerings are a good fit for those experiencing…

  • Fear of death or dying

  • Health anxiety, hypochondria, or somatic hypervigilance

  • A terminal diagnosis or end-of-life transition

  • Existential distress or dread

  • Spiritual destabilization after psychedelic journeys

  • Loss and grief in its many forms

I specialize in working with those who feel haunted by mortality, overwhelmed by uncertainty, or caught in cycles of fear about the body, illness, and death.

Through hypnotherapy and meditation, we will enter the depths of your experience and explore new ways of relating to mortality, mystery, and the sacredness of being alive..

I was dead, then alive — weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I was fierce like a lion, then tender like an evening star
