End-of-Life Care & Palliative Support

At the end of life, a person and their family may be overwhelmed by emotion and try to “protect” the other by avoiding difficult conversations. However, engaging in these conversations and planning can lead to a better death experience.

Whether it is at home, in a hospital, or in a care facility, an End-Of-Life Care consultant or thanadoula can assist with navigating death and dying in an honourable and graceful manner. Journeys can be quick and straightforward or profound and meaningful healing experiences.​​​

To inquire about EOLC services, availabilities and eligibility, e-mail us to schedule a consultation call to discuss details about your situation and the type of assistance you need. Visits typically last 2-3 hours. Medical attention and services are NOT included.
