Endings are hard.
There's no one way to navigate them, and there's no way that you need to go it alone.
I work with people beginning their endings and with the families beside them.
End-of-life coaching is exactly what it sounds like.
It's for people who are dying and the people who love them.
We don't talk about death much in this culture, which is a shame, because it's as intimate and profound as birth. It's humbling, it's sacred, and it's far too big to face alone.
How Does This Work?
- It's different than death doula work. Doulas tend to provide hands-on presence around the active dying process (vigil, logistics, physical support), while coaching leans toward guided conversation, meaning-making, decision support, and emotional processing.
- It complements the medical and hospice system rather than replacing it. Hospice covers medical and some psychosocial care but is often stretched thin and time-limited. Coaching can fill the relational and existential gaps — the conversations there isn't clinical bandwidth for.
- Sessions are often shaped around your timeline, not a fixed program. With dying clients especially, energy, lucidity, and available time can change fast, so the work tends to be flexible and present-focused rather than a set number of structured sessions.
