Releasing Ritual
Releasing Ritual
3-hour ritual – $400
* additional $150 after 6pm
Releasing rituals are sacred ceremonies created both for those who have family and friends present during the dying process as well as those who do not. This beautiful ritual serves the dying, holding them with loving presence during this sacred time of letting go. The intention of the releasing ritual is to honor the life and legacy of the dying, assisting them as they transition and let go of the physical body.
Included in the releasing ritual is the creation of an honoring space , what has traditionally been called an altar. There will be prayer offered, the anointing of the body with oil, nurturing music, sound healing, and gentle touch using Reiki. Chance, my therapy dog, will accompany me at times with his gentle and sweet spirit. He provides comfort and loving connection, adding ease, gentleness and grace to the end of life experience.
For those that want to learn more about Reiki, see the separate service. Also included are an introductory meeting, in person or by phone, a closure call, and keepsakes from the altar or honoring space.
Let's Do Lunch!
Let's Do Lunch!
90-minute in-home lunch – $125
Connection, Compassion, and Culinary Delights!
Food is healing and gathering around the table together with favorite items is a way to heal and nourish the soul!
I'll find out what your loved one desires and is safely able to eat and bring it to them. We will have lunch together and I'm sure I will be blessed with many stories from the past that need to be shared and heard.
This is ideal for one who is needing companionship and is still able to enjoy some of the foods that they love.
Bon Appetit!

Hospice services are one of the most beautiful things our culture and society offer. Hospice provides comfort care collaboratively with those who attend to the basic needs (e.g. changing, bathing, dressing, etc.) of the dying. Often though, touch is more functional and not given with the intention to connect or relax the individual. Through loving touch, we feel a sense of belonging and know we are valued. This is especially true for the elderly.
Reiki offers healing and loving touch. It is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety. It can help assist those who are dying as they transition from this life through gentle and intentional touch. Reiki is also helpful to those processing the anticipated loss of their loved ones. This service is offered to family members as well.
Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900's. The term is derived from the Japanese words rei, meaning "universal" and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things.
Caregiver Training
Caregiver Training
1-hour training – $150
Our caregivers have more demands than ever. They deserve the training that is necessary to empower them in their critical role on the healthcare team.
Topics include:
- Dying as a non-medical event
- The New Rules about dying (e.g. addressing eating/drinking, sleeping, withdrawing from the world)
- The role of pain management, keeping the dying comfortable, and skin protection
- Encouraging families to speak about what is in their hearts, both comfortable and uncomfortable emotions, during the last days and hours before death
The goals of this program are:
- To normalize dying as a natural part of life
- Reduce fear and anxiety of caregivers who are caring for the dying
- Provide education to caregivers so they can support the dying, families, and loved ones through this challenging time
End-of-Life Vigil
End-of-Life Vigil
$40/hour – maximum of 8 hours
This vigil is a sacred space where I serve as a companion to the dying person as they approach the end of their human journey, and ultimately transition beyond this life. These spaces are designed to nurture the soul and spirit of the dying person, and where appropriate the family. I advocate for the dying person’s needs ensuring that they are comfortable and without pain.
Together with the input of the dying person’s family and/or friends, I create a supportive environment. For example, the dying and their family may desire such things in their surroundings: fresh flowers, candles, soft music, photos of their loved ones, etc. Personally, I am available and happy to read scripture, poetry, or favorite writings to comfort their soul on this journey. Presence and gentle touch are always provided for those in my care.
It is important to understand that some will choose to die alone. I trust and honor each individual soul's transition as perfect for them whether their release is witnessed or they choose to pass privately.
