End-of-Life Advisory Services
End-of-life is one of the most profound transitions a person and family will ever experience.
I provide discreet, high-touch advisory services for individuals and families seeking thoughtful and personalized guidance through the dying process.
My role is relational, spiritual, and deeply attentive to the needs of the dying person and their loved ones. Along with coordinating medical care and providing personalized patient advocacy, I help families navigate the countless decisions, existential questions, fears, memories, anticipatory grief, and meaning-making that arise at the death threshold, centering autonomy, intuition, and dignity at each step.
Dying requires more than excellent clinical care
Humans have been dying in community and with the living Earth for thousands of years. I believe that we each possess intrinsic wisdom about both how to die and how to care for the dying. Working together, we will gather the sacred wisdom within and craft an end of life experience that is aligned with your values, truths, and deepest longings.
A Different Approach to Dying
Death is a sacred human experience, yet many families are left maneuvering through complex systems that are unequipped to hold the depth, mystery, and logistical realities of the process.
I fill this gap byserving as a trusted advisor and advocate, coordinating with physicians, attorneys, household staff, and other professionals while ensuring your loved one's wishes remain at the center of every decision. My role is to reduce the burden on the family, anticipate needs before they arise, and create sacred space for you to be present with one another instead of managing countless details.
Alongside this practical guidance, I offer compassionate spiritual care that honors each person's unique beliefs, values, and understanding of death. Drawing from Earth-based contemplative traditions, I weave in practices that cultivate presence, connection, and peace, including ritual, reflection, meditation, and Depth Hypnosis.
My intention is never to prescribe a spiritual path, but to help families find grounding, meaning, and solace as they navigate the end-of-life threshold.
“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”
- Rabindranath Tagore

My Commitment
I only work with one family at a time, allowing for an unparalleled level of attention, continuity, and personalized care. From the moment we begin working together, my focus is entirely on your family.

This highly selective model allows me to offer true concierge-level service with complete discretion, responsiveness, and both virtual and in-person availability throughout the dying process.

Hospice provides essential end of life care — but time, staffing, and institutional constraints can leave families needing more support.
As a doula, I tend to all the spiritual, practical, and interpersonal aspects of dying that fall beyond the clinical scope. This work is intensely patient-centered, unfolding in close collaboration with hospice teams and always acting as ancillary support to existing medical care.
