Death Planning
For those who want clarity, agency, and peace of mind—without losing their humanity.
End-of-life planning is not about giving up, tempting fate, or preparing for the worst. It is about choosing intention over uncertainty and care over avoidance.
This work supports you in making thoughtful, values-aligned decisions about your care, your body, and your wishes—so they are not left to guesswork or crisis. We move slowly, compassionately, and without pressure, making space for both the practical details and the emotions that naturally arise when facing mortality.
This is not a cold, checklist-driven process. It is a guided partnership rooted in respect, autonomy, and honesty.
This may be for you if:
You want your wishes honored clearly and confidently
You feel calmer when things are organized but emotionally supported
You want to reduce future burden on loved ones
You have avoided planning because it felt overwhelming, clinical, or impersonal
You want space to ask questions you haven’t felt safe asking elsewhere
What this work includes:
Guidance through advance care planning and end-of-life documents
Support clarifying medical, after-death, and care preferences
Values-based reflection to guide difficult decisions
Emotional grounding and education throughout the process
Referrals and resources when appropriate
What this work is not:
Legal advice or medical decision-making
Crisis or emergency planning
Therapy or grief counseling
This work exists to support your clarity—not replace professional legal or medical care.
Introductory Planning Session
End-of-life or death planning is often misunderstood as something cold, pessimistic, or only necessary in moments of crisis. In reality, it is an act of profound care: for yourself, for your autonomy, and for the people who may one day be asked to make decisions on your behalf.
This work offers compassionate, values-centered guidance through the practical realities of end-of-life decision-making. We move slowly and intentionally, creating space for questions, emotions, and uncertainty alongside documents and plans. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
This is not about preparing for death out of fear. It is about choosing clarity over chaos and intention over guesswork.
-
60–90 minutes | $175–$250
This session is a gentle starting point. It is designed for people who want clarity, orientation, or reassurance before committing to a larger planning process.
-
In this session, we may:
Clarify what end-of-life planning actually includes
Identify which decisions matter most to you right now
Talk through fears, hesitations, or blocks around planning
Review any existing documents or wishes you already have
Map next steps—whether with me or elsewhere
This session does not require you to complete documents or make final decisions. It is about understanding your options and feeling less alone with the process.
This option is especially supportive if you:
Are early in your planning journey
Feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin
Want professional guidance without committing to a full package

Why plan before you have to? In moments of illness, crisis, or loss, decisions often need to be made quickly—by people who are scared, grieving, or unsure of what you would want. Planning ahead offers them a gift: guidance, reassurance, and trust.
End-of-life planning does not invite death. It invites steadiness.
