For Individuals & Families
Steady Presence, Sacred Passage
Serious illness, caregiving, grief and end-of-life experiences often bring questions that have no easy answers.
You may be navigating difficult medical decisions, caring for someone you love, preparing for an uncertain future, grieving a loss, or simply trying to make sense of what comes next.
Presence & Passage provides end-of-life doula services, grief support and facilitated conversations that help individuals and families move through these experiences with greater clarity, connection and confidence.
Together, we create space for both practical planning and the emotional realities that accompany life's most profound transitions.
Services may include:
- End-of-life doula support
- Grief coaching and integration sessions
- Family conversation facilitation
- Legacy and life review projects
- Advance care planning support
- Caregiver guidance and resource navigation
- Meaning-making and reflection sessions
- Vigil and dying-space preparation
You May Be Facing
- A serious or life-limiting diagnosis
- Caregiving responsibilities and difficult decisions
- Conversations your family isn't sure how to start
- Questions about hospice, advance care planning or what to expect
- Anticipatory grief and uncertainty about the future
- The desire to preserve stories, memories and family history
- Grief after the death of someone you love
- The death of a beloved pet
You do not need to face these experiences alone.
Philosophy
I lost my mother when I was seven years old, and that experience shaped my understanding of loss, grief and the conversations that often go unspoken. For many years, I avoided discussions about death, grief and legacy. Over time, however, I came to believe that these conversations are often most helpful when they happen before a crisis occurs.
My approach is grounded in a simple belief: conversations about serious illness, caregiving, grief and death are most meaningful when they happen intentionally rather than out of urgency.
While none of us can control what happens, we can create more space for clarity, communication and connection along the way.
Presence & Passage exists to help people navigate these experiences with honesty, compassion and practical support. That's why I developed the FACES Approach: Facilitation, Advocacy, Communication, Education, Support.
Service Offerings
Support can take many forms depending on your needs, circumstances and goals. The offerings below provide several starting points, while remaining flexible to meet each individual's situation.
Every family and situation is unique. Some people benefit from a single conversation while others seek ongoing support over weeks or months.
To provide flexibility, services are available both as individual sessions and as discounted support packages.
