End-of-Life Doula
An End-of-Life Doula is a non-medical support person who helps individuals and families navigate the emotional, practical, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life. Their role is to bring comfort, clarity, and compassion during a time of transition. Since each situation is unique, they adapt seamlessly to fill any gaps in care, ensuring support that is thoughtfully personalized to what matters most to you.

Grief Support
As Grief Support practitioners, we offer compassionate support to individuals or communities navigating loss, change, and life transitions. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we support clients in expressing and processing grief at their own pace—without pressure to fix, rush, or explain it away. Through deep listening, presence, and gentle, holistic tools, our goal is to help individuals feel seen, supported, and less alone as they learn to live alongside grief with compassion and care.

Health Care Advocacy
A Health Care Advocate is someone who supports, guides, and speaks up for individuals, communities, or populations within the complex healthcare system. The advocate ensures the clients rights, needs, and preferences are met, helping them navigate treatment, paperwork, appointments, and resources to improve health outcomes and access to care. Health Care advocates can also help overcome barriers and address inequities.

Coaching
(through life transitions)
We provide compassionate coaching for people at the end of life as well as those walking alongside them. Using somatic awareness, emotional exploration, and your own inner wisdom we help you plan ahead, communicate clearly, and make choices aligned with your deepest values.

Practitioners:
Spiritual Accompaniment
We provide a listening heart to walk alongside another to help them notice, explore and respond to the movements of meaning, purpose, and the sacred in their life. Spiritual accompaniment does not provide answers or attempt to fix anyone. It’s about providing and offering a presence, deep listening, and gentle guidance.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers a transformative pathway for those navigating the emotional and spiritual complexities of a terminal diagnosis. By utilizing carefully facilitated sessions with plant medicines or therapeutic compounds, this service aims to alleviate the "existential distress"—the profound anxiety, depression, and sense of isolation—that often accompanies the end of life. This modality involves a structured four-phase process: intake application, psychological preparation, a supervised therapeutic session, and integration coaching. We facilitate this experience to help you transcend the physical limitations of illness and access expanded states of consciousness scientifically shown to significantly reduce the fear of dying. Our goal is to help you reconnect with a sense of universal belonging, processing these deep insights to find lasting peace, closure, and a renewed sense of meaning in your final chapters.
Please connect with Austin for a complimentary consultation to learn more.
