Preparing for death can create a lot of peace in a trying time. When you’re not as in control of your life as you once were, asking yourself and letting others know how you’d like certain things to be taken care of – from life support, the environment you’d like to be in and what you’d like around you, can be empowering.

We can create a book of wishes together – a very important guide. For you, it can create a sense of peace, ease and trust. For your loved ones, it gives them the assurance that they know how best to care for you as you approach the end of life.

Death can be a very distracting and disrupting experience. Through this disruption, it is common to react in unexpected ways and without intention – meaning the needs of the dying can be forgotten.

Death, and dying is an unprecedented time for everyone involved – if you’re dying and you don’t feel like you’re being heard or listened to, you’re not alone. If you’re witnessing someone dying and you feel you can’t get through to them, you are also – not alone.

I can help bridge the gap and create space for a calm environment so that everyone can be heard, and so that the hard, but important conversations can be held.

Ceremonies have been an important part of human history, traditionally celebrating an achievement or anniversary. While we tend to think of funerals in this context, ceremonies that intentionally occur during dying can allow everyone involved to be fully present, which can be extremely powerful and healing after death too.

I enjoy creating ceremonies and rituals that pull from both my own experiences, and the interpretations of cultures and ideas around the world. As always, I am dedicated to designing ceremonies that feel relevant and authentic for those who are dying and their loved ones. Together, we can explore what feels right.

Being present at the bedside of someone while they draw their last breath is, naturally, a sacred and special time. However, when someone is in the active dying stage – which can go on for a number of days – it can be very stressful for loved ones.

Holding a sacred space through vigil is a powerful and reassuring way to honour the transition from dying to death. I can help coordinate during this time and ensure there is always someone with the dying, and to ensure they are in the environment they wish.

I can be there as much or as little as required, and always just a call away.
