End of Life Support

I have a number of offerings for End of Life, whether you or a loved one are nearing the end of life, or are simply curious about what preparing for death entails. There is a surprising amount of paperwork, which can be especially overwhelming if you are hearing about it for the first time while in crisis mode.

Where ever you are in the process, my goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to uphold you or your loved ones wishes and allow you to focus on what really matters when death is occurring.

This is also a space for you to explore what mortality means to you.

  • Advice, hopes, and requests for the future“
    

Respite Care - $25/hour

Caregiving is a demanding role. Therefore, no request from a caregiver is too small. Whether you’d like me to stay with your loved one while you take a shower, or grab some necessities at the store, or anything in between, I am here for non-medical, non-judgmental support.

Sitting Vigil - $25/hour between 8am-8pm, $40/hour between 8pm-8am

Having a calm, supportive presence during the final days/hours of life can make a difference for the dying and their loved ones. Creating a container where love is held through conversation, reading, prayer, song, or silence, where fears and feelings can be held and honored. Whether you need an additional presence, or support in other tasks so that you may focus on what matters.

After-Death Care - $35/hour

Practical administrative assistance meets compassionate care after the death of a loved one, no matter how much or how little End of Life planning was completed.

As a Death Doula and Yoga Teacher, I believe that Yoga can be an incredibly beneficial addition during the end of life, for the dying and those around them, in physical, mental, and spiritual ways. With this in mind, I offer all of my End of Life clients and their care team* a generous discount on my Yoga Offerings.

*Care Team includes: All Client’s household members, Client’s partners and/or children, and any medical professionals (Hospice staff, Nursing staff, at-home aides) assigned to their aid.

Caregiver Support

Whether you are a caregiver for a loved one, a caregiver by profession, or are a former caregiver, it’s an experience only other caregivers can understand. The demands of this responsibility are stressful, and at times, isolating. This is a type of work that never fades from us, even if we are no longer caregiving.

My vision is to provide caregivers with support in and out of the home. Whether you require holistic, non-medical support during the death of your loved one, or a separate space where you can prioritize your self-care, I aspire to provide times, places and activities that replenish your drained energy, provide a connection to your community, and strengthen your mind’s ability to handle the stress you carry that’s unlike any others.

I want to put consideration and attention into each experience I create for caregivers. These offerings may be few at first, but I want to find unique spaces that support our local communities and strengthen our healing together.
If you’d like to suggest a location or activity for an upcoming caregiver event, please contact me. Your input not only helps me, but other caregivers who live your experience.

Professional Organizing

This offering is currently on a limited basis. Contact me for pricing and availability.

A sudden illness or death can result in necessary downsizing or cleaning out of a home, sometimes with very limited time. Honesty, organization, and attention to detail are required, along with compassion and empathy during this delicate situation.

When you invite me into your home, I am not joined by judgement. You and I will work together to take care of the space in the time you need it done.
