VIGIL PRESENCE
$300 per 4-hour block
Active bedside presence during the dying process — comfort and calm offered to both the dying person and those gathered. When invited, I bring practices for tending: foot washings, herbal preparations, the quiet marking of thresholds — always offered in the language and tradition of the person and family I'm with.
Add to any package or book independently.
SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND?
Not every situation fits a tidy outline — and that's okay. If you're caring for someone with a complex timeline, need a different combination of support, or simply aren't sure what you need yet, reach out. We'll figure it out together.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
If any of this resonates — or if you're not yet sure what you need — the next step is a conversation. There's no cost and no expectation. Only space to talk through what you're facing, and to see whether we're a good fit for one another.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
VIGIL PLANNING $300 flat — approximately 2-hour session
Thoughtful preparation for the dying process — helping you understand what to expect, who should be present, and how to create a meaningful, peaceful environment. Covers practical and emotional readiness, including music, readings, simple rituals, and the roles of those who matter most.
When invited, I bring practices for tending — herbal preparations, candlelight, the quiet marking of thresholds — always offered in the language and tradition of the person and family I'm with.
Can be booked independently or in preparation for Vigil Presence.
COMPANION CARE $150/hour — $525 per 4-hour block
Ongoing, relationship-based companionship and support for those navigating aging on their own terms — a trusted, consistent presence for people who want thoughtful, personalized care without relying solely on family. Visits can include conversation, errands, accompaniment to appointments, or quieter forms of care such as a foot bath, hand massage, or simply sitting together.
RESPITE CARE $125/hour — $500 per 4-hour block
Relief for caregivers and support persons — I step in so you can rest, recharge, and return with renewed presence. Referrals available through my trusted network when needed.
PET DOULA CARE $275 consultation, then $80/hour
Compassionate support for families navigating the end of life of a beloved companion animal — before, during, and after their passing. Because the loss of a pet is real and profound grief.
LEGACY & LIFE REVIEW PROJECTS $300 initial session, then $150/hour ($125/hour after 4 hours in a single day)
Capturing a life's story through written memoir, recorded conversation, or curated keepsakes — a meaningful record of who you are, on your own terms, that endures long after the journey ends.
RUGS SUPPORT $150/hour ($125/hour after 4 hours in a single day)
The end of life has a way of surfacing what we've carried longest. I offer a safe, unhurried space to explore the weight of RUGS — regrets, unfinished business, guilt, and shame — not to fix or minimize them, but to sit with them honestly and move toward peace.
MOURNING & POST-LOSS SUPPORT $150/hour ($125/hour after 4 hours in a single day)
Grief has no timeline. Ongoing support for individuals and families in the weeks and months following a loss — a steady, compassionate presence as you find your footing.
POST-DEATH HOME ORGANIZATION $575 per 3-hour session — $175/hour thereafter
Sensitive, respectful assistance with the practical task of organizing belongings — whether you're planning ahead or navigating a loss — handled with care, discretion, and an understanding of the emotional weight involved.
