With a father who was a mortician, I grew up comfortable with this work. As a certified Death Doula with an estate-planning attorney in the family, I bring bedside, legal, and organizational expertise together in a way most practitioners can't.
For people getting their affairs in order on their own terms — and for families helping an aging parent do the same.
End-of-life planning covers more ground than most people realize — documents, accounts, digital assets, healthcare decisions, family conversations, and the wishes no one has written down yet. This questionnaire walks through all of it, at your own pace, with your progress saved.
Many find it clarifying. Some find it a lot. Either way, you'll know exactly where you stand. And if you'd rather not work through it alone, that's what I'm here for. Let’s book a call.
The work spans three phases — from preparation, done while everyone is well enough to do it thoughtfully, through the transitions of aging, and into the care that follows loss.
The advance directives. The durable POA. The healthcare proxy. The POLST. The Legacy Binder. All documents are digitized and stored in an encrypted shared folder — accessible to you and the family members you designate. This is the work that removes uncertainty, done while everyone is well enough to do it well.
The flagship engagement. Three sessions over four to six weeks. Complete advance directives, attorney coordination, and the Legacy Binder — physical and digital.
Document organization for an existing pile — medical, financial, legal, insurance, accounts. Delivered as a physical binder and an encrypted digital copy.
A facilitated family meeting between aging parents and adult children. Pre-call, on-site facilitation, written summary after.
A parent's home walked through and cataloged. Heirlooms photographed. A master document the family can reference when the time comes.
Aging at home, or moving on from it. Either path is hard. I handle the logistics so the focus can stay on the people.
End-to-end transition to assisted living or a smaller home — decide what stays, pack, coordinate the move, set up the new place.
Making a parent's home safer and more functional for staying in place. Safety review, simplification, and system rebuild.
The keepsake sort. The executor's paperwork. The home of a widow or widower, ready to live in again. This is the work grief makes harder than it should be.
Working through a loved one's belongings with the family, at the family's pace, with the ceremony the work deserves.
Reorganizing the home of someone who has just lost a partner. Preserve what's meaningful, release what's painful, redesign the dailiness.
Practical help through probate — document location, asset inventory, institution contact, organizing for the attorney.
Pre-death digital preparation and a facilitated legacy letter — in text, audio, or video. Done remotely.

I work with your estate attorney and your hospice team — not instead of them. What I do is the practical, hands-on work that sits between every other professional: organized documents, facilitated conversations, a home that's ready, a digital legacy preserved.
