How I can support you:
If you feel I might be the right fit after our initial phone chat, we would then arrange our first in-person meeting to discuss your needs, the support I can offer, and a cost agreement. I can meet you at home, hospital, or hospice - at any stage of the end-of-life journey. This may be soon after a diagnosis, during active dying, or somewhere in between. My support is flexible and guided by what matters most to you.

Meaningful End-of-Life Planning
End-of-life planning is something we all know we should do, however, so many of us avoid these discussions.
I help guide conversations and assist with documentation to ensure your wishes are known and respected.
Together we can reflect on what matters most, and create a care plan that truly honours your choices.
Some of the items and documentation we can discuss and review:
- Advanced Health Care Directives
- Advanced Care Planning
- Appointing a decision maker
- Assistance in navigating private and government support options
- Funeral and ceremony planning
- Your ‘Heart Will’ or Legacy Projects
-

Personalised Vigil Care
I help create a personalised vigil plan for a peaceful, meaningful end-of-life transition.
Together, we’ll shape the atmosphere: people, sounds, scents, and lighting to ensure a comforting, meaningful space for both the dying and the people close to them.
Vigil supports include:
- Assisting in creating a sacred vigil plan to achieve the desired environment
- Helping to create round the clock schedule with family, friends and doulas if desired
