Offering experienced knowledge, caring presence and empathetic guidance so no one faces death alone.

If this is you right now...

"I don't know what to say to the doctor. I don't even know the right questions to ask."

Families navigating a new palliative diagnosis often describe feeling fluent in love, but illiterate in the language of dying. We come with you to those tough meetings.

"I got the diagnosis but there’s no one to call. I don’t want to do this alone.”

Many Canadians live with no family around to support them. Travel is not always possible or comfortable. We can be there for you when you need it most.

"It happened early, so people say it wasn't real. But it was real to me."

A grief our culture rarely names or honors. We know it was real, we don't need you to justify your grief.

"Everyone keeps telling me to be strong. No one is asking me how I actually am."

Caregivers and adult children carry anticipatory grief that the healthcare system was not designed to hold. We ask and we mean it.

"I just want to make sure her last wishes are actually followed."

Advance care planning changes that if someone guides you through it. We help you write these down so you can stand by her.

Life isn't always black and white. Often it’s all different shades. This makes life not only beautiful but also sometimes daunting or scary when it comes to big decisions or times where we are unsure on what's next. Let me be there to guide and help you through the complexities of life and death. No one has all the answers to the problems that life throws at us. However, having a sounding board with professional and personal experience can be life changing at some of best and worst moments that you may pass through.

Together we want to work towards what serves you best, knowing that you have someone there to help you face this journey with confidence. Helping you stay mindful throughout your journey.
