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 face.

Earthbound Endings offers end of life advisory support and hypnotic spiritual counseling 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 end-of-life 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…

  • A serious, terminal, or life-limiting diagnosis

  • Supporting or caring for a loved one at the end of life

  • Fear of death, dying, or the unknown

  • Grief, loss, or anticipatory grief

  • A desire to approach mortality with greater peace, presence, and intention

  • Health anxiety, hypochondria, or somatic hypervigilance

  • Existential distress, spiritual crisis, or loss of meaning

  • Spiritual destabilization after psychedelic journeys

I specialize in working with those who feel haunted by mortality, overwhelmed by uncertainty and grief, 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 grief, mystery, and the sacredness of life.

“Victoria has helped me immensely over the past few months on a very difficult spiritual journey. For many years, I suffered from problems that doctors and traditional counseling could not help with.

Through Depth Hypnosis, I was gradually able to remove subconscious blockages, reclaim personal power, and feel more like myself."
