Services
It is an honor to sit at the bedsides of many of my clients over the years. Given my long-term relationship with my clients and their families, I can continue to support them as they move toward end of life. I have advocated for their wishes when dying while also acknowledging the fear, grief and sadness that coexist with dying. If a client is able to make their wishes known, I will create a safe container to explore their thoughts and wishes about the death they desire.
Support comes in many facets and I continue to support clients for years prior to passing. This support ranges from a one time consultation to walking your family and you through every transition.
All support is hourly based. Everyone, despite your financial situation deserves compassionate care and support. Each client will be treated with respect and dignity. I value all humans regardless of race or skin color, and acknowledge racism can be unconscious or unintentional. I am committed to continued learning and challenging myself as someone from a dominate culture.
