Death & Dying Services
Intuitive, Emotional, Spiritual, and Practical guidance and support through the dying process.
Soul Midwife/Death Path Guide
Dying is often viewed as separate from living, and it is also viewed as a final act of living. Death, as the last act of living, is equally as important as the first, our birth. Each point of entry and exit, into and from life, is equally sacred. Each point of entry and exit is a portal of renewal and rebirth. As your Soul Midwife, I compassionately witness, support, and create ceremony around your transition and sacred passage from the earth-plane and into your Beyond. In this journey I assist you in staying clearly connected with your death path; your unique journey to and through crossing over. I will guide you safely to, into, and through the portal of death. Prior to and/or during the dying process I am with you as a shamanic ally, supporting your soul in preparing for it's transition from Earth. I create a compassionate, safe, and healing energetic container to assist you in working through all that wishes to be worked through before death. I honor and uplift your personal spirituality or tradition, or help you to create something new. I work with the subtle energy of the situation by moving and guiding the entire household into the rhythm and pace of your dying process and of your death. I work with and monitor the chakra system and the elements of the body as they prepare to unwind and release. I provide the space, skillset, and presence to support soul growth and empowerment on your death path. I work with and support the family, individually and/or as a whole, to come into this new rhythm and relationship that is death. I create the space for the honoring and processing of fear, grief, and trauma, and for deep heart and relationship healing. This service is not a replacement for Hospice, but rather a personal liason service for and with Hospice. I am your soul advocate and ally in your death and I uphold this advocacy through all the practical dealings of death. I provide practical information and guidance via a network of professionals for burial, legal planning, and day to day support empowering and assisting you in your sacred transit and uplifting your unique approach to dying and your final act of living. If you are curious about this service for yourself or a loved one, please do reach out. We can consult on your personal situation and needs. This service may also be used in hospital or ICU stays. It is beneficial in helping to bring calm to the chaotic atmosphere in a public place and to assit in keeping the death path clear. This service is utterly unique and will evolve into what it needs to be for you, your family, and your sacred journey of dying and into your death.
Ritual Grief Work & Emotional Alchemy
To be in the presence of our grief is not an easy thing. Grief is complex and it is deep. Without the proper tools, support, or space, it can be quite intimidating to be with and walk with our grief. Realizing our grief is our most vulnerable vulnerability. Grief is a natural occurrence and always will be, as long as we exist within the process of letting go and endings. The idea is not to overcome grief, but to engage with it, begin opening the channels for it to flow freely, and eventually enrich your being. When we leave our grief untouched, it oozes out into other emotions and channels of release that may create discomfort and disharmony, even into the physical body. Or our untouched grief can remain stagnant, creating a mass of heaviness and density within us that can pull us into depression, disconnect, and disharmony. And we may even become numb to it. To process and metabolize our grief, is to deepen our understanding of love and of ourselves, and it is to honor our humanity and mortality, the things that connect us all. It is an alchemical and delicate process that beckons us to make space for the most tender places of our being and to move into new beginnings. When we make space for these tender places, we begin to heal in the most unimaginable ways. Ritual grief work and emotional alchemy can be offered in a number of ways and can be tailored to your personal needs and unique situation. Emotional alchemy is a way of processing and engaging with emotion as energy through shamanic and energy work, conscious breathing, intuitive yoga flow, and art. Ritual grief work may include ceremonial circles for a group, relationship, or family, it may be one on one, it may come in the form of intuitive guidance, or possibly a guided Moon ritual ceremony. Please inquire so we may co-create this uniquely for you. This work will honor your grief, it will guide you into a new relationship with your emotions, and it will support your sacred and delicate process of heart care and healing.
Shamanic Death Rites / Psychopomp Facilitation
Shamanic death rites and psychopomping are ancient shamanic approaches in facilitating the spirit in leaving the body and the earth-plane by unwinding the energetic centers that hold our energy to life and the physical body. Most often the energetic centers begin the unwinding on their own. In these situations I track and support the unwinding with rattle, drum, and sound. Sometimes the energetic centers may need assistance in unwinding, for a myriad of reasons. Loosening and unwinding the energetic centers is a sacred ceremonial process that assists, guides, and provides ceremony for the spirits release from the physical body. Often shamanic death rites are facilitated over a period of a few days. Psychopomp is the process of assisting spirits in crossing over who may be stuck on the earth-plane. All is held in a carefully created energetic and ceremonial container to support the spirit in a clear, successful, supportive passage in death.
