Death Ducks
Get your death ducks in a row.
A playful, thought provoking and practical, this session is designed to help you engage with end-of-life planning in a new way!
It is never too early to get your death related ducks in a row, but we can leave it too late. Getting your head & heart around some of the logistics that are part and parcel with death and dying is a gift for both you and those you leave behind.
We discuss options, opportunities and your values and preferences, who is who in your end-of-life zoo, how you’d like to be remembered, your last hurrah and beyond. We plan every other thing; this is your chance to really have a say on the home straight.
2 hours, in person or online.
Exchange $160. Some travel fees may apply.
How we die matters.
Education & guidance to make informed decisions for yourself or a loved preparing for death.
DURING
Death Connection Session
An exploration of what death means to you.
What is your relationship to death and therefore life? Often, we have more questions than answers, but this is the place to dive within. Fear is welcomed to expressed about life, death and beyond. I’ll guide a meditation and then a reflective delve into how you wish your death could (not should or will) unfold. This is a thoughtful, body-based experience to truly feel into your connection with death and the process of dying to enhance the way you live your life!
Most importantly, this session has space for integration.
2 hours, in person or online.
Exchange $160.
Grief & Death Support Package
An anchor amidst the waves - ongoing support & empowerment at end of life.
Grief, death and loss are tricky to navigate at the best of times and we were not taught this stuff in school. These sessions are open for everyone to attend (or not), to check-in, to ask questions, to share challenges and to be witnessed, not fixed.
End of life is unprecedented and unrepeatable and it can be incredibly supportive to have someone walk alongside you. I see myself a little like a stage manager, seeing the bigger picture, supporting, suggesting, advocating. This allows the dying person to be at the centre of the stage and the family members (blood or chosen family) to play their own role, instead of having to do it all. Having continuity of support, seeped in compassion for the process can completely change the trajectory of grief.
Although completely tailored to individual needs, we may cover what to expect in grief, from anticipatory, to post death and beyond, funeral planning / living funeral arrangements, advanced care planning, legacy options, decluttering discussions, rituals, navigating and activating external supports, after body death care and ceremony.
5 x 1 hour zoom sessions. Exchange $400. Hybrid options and in person sessions by negotiation, some travel fees may apply.
If finances are a barrier, please reach out to discuss.
Family / Carer Relief
When rested, we are more compassionate, connected and present.
I can provide family / carer relief so carers can take care of themselves and can continue caring for loved ones. Anxiety and pleasure really can’t coexist so this relief goes beyond just being practical, it can become a life raft through a difficult time.
Minimum three hours a day and services agreed upon discussion. For example:
10am - 2pm Carers relief
6am - 9pm Family dinner relief
By negotiation.
Grief, You & Yoga
Restorative yoga and grief guidance.
There is a vastness to grief. Perhaps you have a life limiting illness or are preparing to say goodbye to a beloved friend. Perhaps you never had a chance to say goodbye. We can grieve many things; from a person to a pet to a place and beyond. This is a place for you to be heard, held and supported in your grief journey, regardless of what you are grieving.
These sessions are woven through a two month period and equips you with tools to honour your grief and integrate your experience through deep listening, restorative yoga and reflective practices. This is a space to release the burden of guilt (if it’s there), to have your pain witnessed (not fixed) and to express without judgement.
4 sessions, in person or online. Exchange $440. Casual sessions $125. Allow between 60-75 minutes per session.
