We are all just walking each other home.

RAM DAAS

let's work together

In due time, the end of life comes for all of us.

​

Whether you're healthy and thinking ahead to what you want, have a terminal diagnosis, are supporting someone with one, or have recently lost someone close, you don't have to go it alone. It's never too early or too late for planning and preparing in order to feel more ready when the time comes or inviting in compassionate assistance in times of hardship, changes, challenges, and despair. A guide through the unknowns can help.

​

Throughout decades of human services work, I've seen how transformational it is when people in almost any situation of overwhelm feel heard and understood, have their values respected and honored, and have their needs and wishes met. This is true at the end of life as well. We'll begin with conversations to identify your values and needs. We'll identify what would ease your burdens and lessen stress, and then develop a plan that allows you to move forward with the support you need.

​

Whatever it is that brings you here, our time together will result in greater peace of mind and even opportunities for you and your loved ones to experience unexpected joy, meaning, reflection, and connection through challenging circumstances.
