Soul Midwife/Death Path Guide
Sliding scale, $77~$111 an hour
As your soul midwife, I compassionately create ceremony around all aspects of your soul's transition and sacred passage from the earth plane and into your Beyond. I am here as a guide to walk in between the worlds with you, on your death path journey. I am available to you prior to and during the dying process. I am available to your spirit after death, if there is an earth plane need. I am available as a soul midwife to the family during and after your death. In our time together, we will create the space and support your soul requires for its sacred journey home. I honor your personal spirituality or tradition. I work with the spirit of Death, and the subtle energy of that space and rhythm. I energetically support the holding of the household, or family, into the rhythm and pace of your dying process and death.
In preparation for your death our time together may consist of silence or conversations, guided meditations and journeys, Reiki and healing touch, plant medicine or plant spirit alchemy, blessings, and ceremony. All depending upon what your soul is working with or through or what your death path is presenting to you. I create space for emotional energy processes, heart opening, and relationship healing. As death approaches, I facilitate death rites by engaging with and monitoring the chakra system and elements of the body to support their unwinding and release.
This service is not a replacement for hospice, but rather a soul liaison service to be used for and with hospice. As your soul midwife I am your advocate and ally in death and I uphold this advocacy in all practical dealings in your death. I also provide practical information and guidance via a network of professionals for burial, legal, and day to day support. This service may also be used in hospital or ICU stays as it is beneficial in bringing calm to any chaotic atmosphere in a public place and helps to keep the death path clear.
If you are curious about this service for yourself or a loved one, please do reach out. We can consult on your personal situation and needs. This is a unique service that will evolve into what it needs to be for you, your family, and your sacred journey of dying and into your death.
Ritual Grief Work & Emotional Alchemy
Sliding scale, $77~$111 an hour
To be in the presence of our grief is not an easy thing. Without the proper tools, support, or space, it can be quite intimidating and overwhelming to be with our grief. Untouched grief can turn into stagnant energy creating heaviness and density within us which can create depression, disconnect, disassociation, disharmony, and many physical issues. To process and metabolize grief is to deepen our relationship with our own power, as well as the magic of Earth. Making space for grief brings about healing. Ritual grief work and emotional alchemy are alchemical tools that support engaging with grief. Emotional alchemy is a way of processing and engaging with emotion as energy and literally transforming it through ceremony, art, nature, energy work, conscious breath, intuitive yoga flow, movement, sound. Ritual grief work is the process of honoring grief as sacred energy and creating ceremony around it. This ceremony becomes like a rebirth portal where your grief is alchemized. Ritual grief work is unique to each soul.
Death Rites and Psychopomp
Sliding scale, $77~$111 an hour
Death rites and psychopomping are ancient approaches in facilitating the spirit in leaving the body and the earth plane. Death rites are the unwinding of the energetic centers which hold our energy to life and the physical body. Most often energetic centers begin the unwinding on their own. In these situations I track and support the unwinding with drum and sound. For a myriad of reasons, the energy centers may need assistance in unwinding. This is a ceremonial process assisting the spirit in its release. Often the death rites are facilitated over a period of a few days. Psychopomp is the process of assisting spirits in crossing over who may be stuck on the earth plane.
Walking with Dementia
Sliding scale, $77~$111 an hour
I am here to support the dementia population through educating, guiding, supporting those who live with and care for those with dementia. Walking with Dementia helps family members or caregivers connect and engage with dementia through the heart, through their energetic environment, and to feel supported. For those with dementia it is common to become more sensitive to the energetic environment and to energy itself. As family members and caregivers, tending to and becoming aware of your loved ones' energetic environment and learning how to communicate through the heart is very helpful to their well being.
I am a guide in navigating the heart and subtle energy of this new reality. This service may be used in a number of ways and will be unique to everyone. It may be a personalized support group, with subtle energy education and tools, including self care for family members and caregivers. It can also be used as a personal healing process for those living with or working with a loved one with dementia, healing the confusion, chaos, the loss and to find a new connection through the dementia. Through observation, assessment, education, consultation, and support I am able to help you create a relationship and environment that most benefits you and or your loved one or client as you walk with and through the journey of dementia.
