About Heartful Transitions…

Heartful Transitions’ is a social enterprise, a privately-owned business with a social good as the core purpose.

Our mission is to empower individuals to complete critical advance life planning tasks, so that others will be able to: (1) care for them as they would wish, in the event of a serious injury, illness or end of life; (2) address urgent responsibilities when the unexpected and unwanted occurs (examples: caring for children and/or animals, contacting people and organizations who need to know, etc.); and (3) reliably and rapidly access important data, documents, legal instruments, and designated emergency financial resources.

We were formed by Michelle Stewart, MS, M.Ed, RN, when her personal and professional experiences demonstrated the confusion, distress and conflict that occur when advance life planning is incomplete, inadequate and/or not clearly communicated to decision makers and other family and friends.

She realized that, in most cases, people in her life and her work who had not clearly documented and shared their wishes, intentions, end-of-life decisions, and other important information would have done so, if they had known what to do and how to do it.

Yes, there is a natural and understandable human tendency to put off dealing with tasks related to accepting our own vulnerability and mortality. Still, this reluctance becomes much easier to overcome when we have the coaching, tools and support we need to complete this important personal work in a sensible, time-efficient and emotionally-bounded way.

That is why Heartful Transitions was created.
