End of Life Planning
End-of-Life Planning is a gift that you leave your loved ones.
It is a beautiful road map that ensures all your wishes are respected and carried out during the final days of your life. The process of end-of-life planning gives you and your loved ones permission to speak openly about the dying process in a compassionate and supportive environment. It is a space for co-creating a beautiful dying experience for you and your loved one. It will honour how your family needs to be together in order to honour this sacred time with strength, reverence and love.
End-of-Life Planning is also a gift you give to yourself.
It is about intentionally creating a beautiful sensory experience as your body starts to die. Together, we will move furniture around if needed, bring aromas into the room that lift your spirit, change the lighting to better suit your needs, play sounds or music to soothe your soul.
I will hold a safe space for you in complete reverence and respect for your wishes. I will honour you exactly the way you are regardless of your spirituality, religion, age, race or gender. I will walk beside you, your loved ones and, if needed, your caregivers as you end your life’s journey, ensuring everyone is fully supported and your vision and needs are honoured.
This transformational time is a natural and beautiful part of our life cycle. My hope is that you and your loved ones will be completely and fully at peace when that time arrives.
