How We Walk the Path Together
Support that blends clinical clarity with steady, compassionate presence — offered with care, intention, and respect for your family’s pace.
The Difference a Tender Presence Makes
A Steady Heart at the Bedside
1
When exhaustion sets in, I step in.
You can sleep, shower, or simply sit outside for a moment of quiet — knowing your loved one is safe and not alone.
With my nursing experience, I understand the body’s changing language — so you no longer have to monitor every breath.
Tending to the Whole Person
2
End of life is not only physical — it is emotional, relational, and deeply human.
I help families:
• Understand what physical changes are normal
• Reduce fear by naming what is happening
• Create space for legacy conversations and meaning-making
When mystery fades, peace becomes possible.
A Guide Through the System

The healthcare world can feel overwhelming.
I translate “doctor-talk” into clear language.
I help you ask the right questions.
I support Advance Care Planning so decisions are made gently — not in crisis.
“We cannot change the outcome, but we can change the experience.”

Ways We Can Walk Together
Each family’s journey is different. These offerings are designed to meet you where you are — whether we are clearing the fog at the beginning, sitting quietly at the bedside, or tending to the practical details that follow.
Discovery & Roadmap Session
Before peace can enter the room, we often need clarity.
This 90-minute session is a gentle but thorough conversation where we look at the full picture — the medical details, your loved one’s wishes, and the questions that feel heavy right now.
Together, we create a simple, practical Care Roadmap so you feel steadier about what lies ahead.
Includes:
• Review of the medical situation
• Advance Care Planning guidance
• Immediate next steps
• A personalized written Care Roadmap
Session Length: 90 minutes
Investment: $150
Available in-home or virtually (Ontario & Quebec)
At the Bedside — In-Person Respite Support
There comes a moment when caregivers are simply tired.
During my dedicated 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM window, I provide steady, nursing-informed presence in your home so you can rest, shower, step outside, or simply return to being a daughter, son, or spouse.
During our time together, I:
• Monitor comfort and symptom changes
• Coordinate medication timing as needed
• Provide calm bedside presence
• Support both the patient and the caregiver emotionally
Available within 20 km of Gatineau (travel premium beyond this range).

Closing the Circle — After-Death Support
The days following a loss can feel heavy and disorienting.
I return to your home to gently guide you through the practical and emotional details so you are not left alone with the logistics.
This visit offers steady companionship while we:
• Review executor next steps
• Coordinate medication disposal
• Assist with equipment return planning
• Create space for reflection and emotional debrief

Virtual Guidance (Ontario & Quebec)
Some of the most meaningful support begins with conversation.
For families who are further away — or who simply need a steady voice — I offer professional guidance by phone or video.
Ideal for:
• Advance Care Planning

• Grief navigation
• Legacy conversations
Session Length: 45 minutes

A Note on My 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM Commitment
To offer each family my most focused, refreshed presence — while honouring my own family life — in-person visits conclude by 2:00 PM.
During our time together, you will have my full attention and calm clinical focus.
Where I Can Support You
Ontario
Registered Nurse & Death Doula
In Ontario, I practice as both a Registered Nurse and a Death Doula. This allows me to bring clinical awareness alongside emotional and spiritual support at the bedside.
I may support you with:
• Nursing-informed symptom observation
• Medication coordination guidance
• Advance Care Planning
• Bedside respite and caregiver relief
• Legacy and emotional support
Nursing services are provided in accordance with the standards of practice set by the College of Nurses of Ontario.
Quebec
Death Doula (Non-Clinical Support)
In Quebec, I support families in a non-clinical capacity as a Death Doula.
I may walk alongside you with:
• Bedside presence and emotional support
• Advance Care Planning conversations
• Legacy projects and life reflection
• Grief and transition support
• Guidance through complex systems
Clinical nursing services are not provided in Quebec.
If you’re unsure what applies to your situation, we can clarify it together during our first conversation.
A First Step, When You’re Ready
If you are feeling uncertainty, or simply need someone to sit beside you and help make sense of what you’re seeing, I invite you to begin with a Discovery & Roadmap Session.
We will sit at your kitchen table — or connect quietly by video — and begin clearing the fog together.
