[Guide, Advocate, Educator] [End of Life Doula | Advance Care Planning | Grief Companion] I provide a calm and compassionate presence, education, and support to individuals and families during the end of life experience.
Advance care planning is for EVERYONE. If you're 37, in perfect health, and at the top of your game - you will not live forever. If you're 89 and recently diagnosed with a terminal illness - you will not live forever. It can feel daunting to think about, but making decisions and having conversations with the person who will be our voice is a brave and caring act for ourselves and for those who might one day make decisions on our behalf. Lean into the edge of your comfort zone. Taking inventory and making these decisions can give us great insight into our values, who we are, and what is important to us, and how we want to live. If you're unsure where to begin, I'm here to help. I'll guide you through creating your end-of-life planning documents and we'll strategize on the best ways to discuss these plans with your family and loved ones. Making these decisions can feel scary, but it doesn't have to be and you don't have to do it alone. We'll work together and ensure your wishes are clearly understood and respected.

Thank you Meghan! So very true, so very important!! We plan for so many significant events in our lives, why not our death? Having a plan can help reduce stress and anxiety, leaving us more time to be present in our lives. With love and gratitude 🦋

6moAbsolutely‼️ Regardless of our age or current health status, preparing for the possibility of being unable to speak for ourselves is crucial. Whether we find ourselves making medical decisions for a loved one or needing others to make them for us, being unprepared is not an option. Providing our loved ones with clear guidance alleviates the burden and anguish during an incredibly challenging and emotional period. It’s a gift of compassion and consideration that ensures our wishes are honored with respect and dignity.
