Holistic Deathwork & End-of-Life Care

If you are living with a life-limiting or terminal illness, or loving someone who is, you deserve more than “getting through it.” You deserve to be met with real presence.

Many people arrive at this threshold longing for something deeply human: an ally who can help sort what feels tangled, name what feels unspoken, and bring warmth and steadiness to a time that can feel disorienting. Someone who can travel with you, through the conversations, the choices, the tenderness, the fears, the beauty, the unknown and help you organize what wants to be tended before life changes form.

I offer non-medical end-of-life companioning for individuals and families moving through life-limiting illness, terminal illness, dying, caregiving, and grief. My role is to walk beside you with steadiness, reverence, and deep respect for autonomy, so you feel supported, resourced, and held at a soul level, while staying rooted in the simple truth of being human.

Who This Work Is For

This work may be a fit if you are:

• Living with a life-limiting or terminal illness and wanting an ally who helps you feel more steady, more oriented, and less alone

• Nearing end of life and wanting care that honors your values, your pace, your dignity, and your voice

• A family member or caregiver who wants support that is practical, heartfelt, and human—not just “professional”

• Carrying grief, change, or the ache of missing someone, and wanting a space where your love and sorrow can belong

• Exploring MAID, VSED, hospice, comfort-focused living, or end-of-life options in Oregon and wanting clear, grounded companionship

• Seeking licensed psilocybin facilitation in Oregon for end-of-life anxiety, grief, identity shifts, or spiritual transformation

• Feeling called to “birth out” what matters most—legacy, love, truth-telling, forgiveness, meaning, and remembrance

• Ready for support that includes the real-world details and the tender inner terrain of this threshold

My Approach

I work in a companioning model rooted in consent, cultural humility, and spiritual autonomy. Your beliefs are honored. Your lineage is honored. Your pace is honored.

I listen with my whole being, body, heart, and attention, so what is true can unfold without pressure. Together we make room for the full human experience: the emotions, the questions, the relief, the tenderness, the sacred grief, the laughter that still shows up, the love that keeps moving.

Support may include embodied listening, attuned witnessing, body-oriented coaching, and gentle practices such as breath, sound, ritual, movement, reflection, or silence, always by invitation and in alignment with what feels supportive to you.

This is care that helps you feel less alone, more resourced, and more held, so dignity stays intact, choices stay clear, and your family feels supported in the wider circle of care.

How I Can Support You & Your Loved Ones

End-of-Life Companioning (Non-Medical)
Steady presence and sacred tending through the living and dying process. This can include bedside companionship, vigils, emotional support, and soulful companionship for the person who is dying and the people who love them, so no one has to carry it all alone.

Consultations for MAID, VSED & End-of-Life Options
Grounded support for individuals and families exploring Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act (MAID), VSED, hospice, comfort-focused living, and the natural progression of terminal illness—held with clarity, dignity, and respect for choice.

Family & Caregiver Support
Caregivers and loved ones receive care too. This support offers steadiness, listening, grounding practices, and relational guidance to help you stay connected, resourced, and supported in the day-to-day reality of this threshold.

Grief Tending & Bereavement Support
Spaces where grief is welcome, without fixing, rushing, or needing to perform. Support may include ceremony, sound, movement, storytelling, and quiet presence, shaped by what you carry and how you want to be met. Your grief is allowed to be as human as it is.

Planning & Legacy Work
A gentle, organized space to “birth out” what matters most, legacy letters, ethical wills, story-sharing, values statements, remembrance rituals, and meaningful offerings for loved ones and next generations.

Death Education (Including After-Death Care & Body Disposition Options in Oregon)
Clear, grounded conversations for individuals and families who want to understand what to expect, what choices are available, and how to prepare in ways that feel aligned. This can include education around hospice, the natural dying process, MAID, VSED, and home vigils, as well as body disposition options such as natural burial, green burial, conservation burial, human composting (natural organic reduction), aquamation, and cremation.

Under Oregon law, after-death care such as bathing, anointing, and tending the body is complimentary and offered as non-commercial, community-based support, and does not require a funeral director. I can companion families in creating altar and vigil space, holding ceremonial time, and honoring the body in ways that reflect your values, culture, and beliefs.

Psilocybin Care for End of Life, Grief & Transformation (Oregon)
Offered legally through Oregon Psilocybin Services. Preparation, facilitation, and integration support for end-of-life anxiety, grief, identity shifts, and spiritual transformation, held with consent-based pacing and grounded care. Sound, breath, movement, and ritual may be woven in by invitation.

Practical Support for the Unfamiliar Moments
Support for the “what now?” moments, helping you sort next steps, prepare for what’s coming, organize care needs, and feel more oriented as the days unfold, with someone beside you who understands how tender this is.
