Services

My role is a non-medical companion who supports both the dying and their loved ones before, during, and after death. I focus on emotional well-being, and dignity, rather than clinical care. Though I coordinate with family members, hospice care workers, and medical teams if need be, my role is outside of those circles.

My services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family. They include and are not limited to the categories here, and if there is something different you are looking for, please let me know.

Rates

 

I charge hourly for some services and a package rate for others. Because each person's need and ability to pay are unique, my pricing is something we would work on together once I know what you are looking for. 

Companionship & Presence

At the heart of this work is simple human presence — sitting, listening, reading, or sharing silence. I offer steady companionship for those nearing life’s end, creating a calm and grounded space where each moment can unfold naturally.

Practical Support

End-of-life care often asks for many small kindnesses. I assist with errands, household tasks, meal preparation, and day-to-day organization, easing the burden on families and caregivers so they can focus on what matters most.

3

Planning & Legacy Work

Together, we can explore wishes for care, vigil, and remembrance. This may include guidance with end-of-life planning, legacy projects, letter writing, or other ways to help articulate what feels unfinished or worth passing on.

4

Family & Organizational Support

I help families navigate the logistics and emotional demands of change — coordinating with care teams, clarifying needs, and supporting communication and decision-making. The goal is steadiness and clarity at a time when both can feel in short supply.
