conscious dying
living well in the presence of death
Planning | somatic & spiritual care | Ceremony | integrative Griefwork
May we live fully and know our truth. We are here temporarily and the time of aging and dying is a powerful transformation. Let us honor our elders and celebrate this stage of life. By living consciously and in-alignment with our true and transient nature, we can live and die free.
There is a labor to dying and we need to be supported by others as we walk through our dying days. Learning how to support a dying loved one is part of the human experience and a Doula can help your family and your loved one plan and prepare for a good death.

you touch everything."

somatic & spiritual care
Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and Reiki can benefit people of all ages with all sorts of conditions and health goals. These modalities are incredible for boosting the immune system, reducing pain, improving sleep, healing from injury and surgery, stimulating circulation, boosting mood and energy, and releasing adhesions found in muscle and fascia (chronic or acute).
Relaxation Massage
A combination of Swedish massage and myofascial techniques to promote harmony and tranquility of the body and spirit. Through deep relaxation the body and the nervous system rebalance and optimal health is restored.
Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle modality that releases deep adhesions held within the nervous system and body. CST helps to relieve pain, reduce imbalances, and boost overall health and performance. It is incredibly impactful for those who have experienced emotional or physical trauma, anxiety, depression, learning differences, chronic pain, and more.
Deep Tissue & Wellness Massage
Deep tissue and wellness massage focus on problem spots and physical challenges that you’re currently working with. This treatment is a personalized combination of Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofacial techniques, and may incorporate Craniosacral Therapy. The treatment is outcome focused and will include a treatment plan.
Reiki
In-Person or REmote
The word "Reiki" translates to Universally Guided Energy. Though it comes from Japan, many cultures share a similar belief and celebration of this same energy force. Reiki is a modality focused on restoring balance and vitality to the energy system. Often restrictions and imbalances interfere with the natural and healthy flow of energy through the system. This has powerful physiological and emotional effects and can be done in person or remote.
