If you feel that your health care plan is missing a holistic component, consider this addition to your healing path. Focused, gentle and customized massage treatments to assist you in finding greater comfort and well-being. Massage is a therapeutic and compassionate approach to mental and physical wellness and can be introduced to your daily, weekly or monthly health care plan; reducing pain, relieving fatigue, increasing endorphins and provide meaning and respite in the most challenging of times. Guided meditation can be interwoven as another extension of pain relief upon request.

HOSPICE MASSAGE:

END OF LIFE DOULA SERVICES AND RESOURCES

Beyond the medical care and emotional support of hospice and homecare services, there may be deeper interwoven connections to be made for someone facing the sacred life transition to death. Anna provides in-person end of life doula support at her client’s side in a myriad of ways. Depending on where you or your loved one is at in the process of preparing to transition to death, Anna can offer compassionate support to you. Anna opens the conversation with an open heart and space to determine how she can assist you.

This assistance can manifest with life review and legacy project work to honor and celebrate the life that you lived, helping you customize your environmental space to be as soulfully supportive as possible, offering non-medical assistance as a supportive adjunct to your already established hospice resources and/or holding spiritual and emotional space during the active phase of dying.

Anna can also offer recommendations and resources (remotely or in-person) for brainstorming/planning/implementing end of life considerations and in-home ceremonial possibilities.

The time is now to honor, gather, create, love, plan and connect all that makes us whole. Your life and the cyclical death approaching should be birthed as you wish it be.

Whether you wish to create your vision alone or do it with a doula’s support, be sure you do it your way.
