Life has a 100% mortality rate, and we’ve all seen what happens when people aren’t prepared. We can do better.

✔️Save your adult children needless confusion and stress.

✔️Protect your family from conflict when they need each other most.

✔️Speak for yourself now, while you can, before it’s too late.

Less than 30% of U.S. adults have completed any end-of-life planning at all.

Even fewer of us have prepared our homes, our business matters (“life admin”) and our adult children for what could happen - and what we want to happen - as we get older.

Heartful Transitions’ Peace of Mind Planning is designed to help people organize for unexpected or serious health events, so they can minimize anxiety, confusion and conflict and maximize precious time, energy and family unity - when it matters most.

Even better: it helps us “get our ducks in a row,” making so much about life in our 50s, 60s and beyond much easier and less stressful in the now.

The Peace of Mind Plan

Directives & Consents
Here, you organize advance directives and consent forms that will empower your decision makers and health care team to make choices for you that align with your desires and intentions - if and when you cannot speak for yourself.

Values & Priorities
This section includes curated, evidence-based tools for determining and communicating what matters most to you about your own care if you become seriously ill, or as you decline over time.

Critical Life Information
In this section, you identify and document important information about your life and responsibilities others will need if you are suddenly “out of commission” for awhile, or if it becomes clear that you are unable to manage your personal affairs fully and well.

Omega & Legacy
Here, you will focus specifically on your last weeks, days and hours, what you would like to happen after your death, and on what you will leave behind. “Omega” refers to your wishes and hopes for the end of your life, what you want to happen to your body after death, and more.. “Legacy” refers to how you want to be remembered, how you want your life to be celebrated, and what you most want for those you love after you have left this life.

Resources & Referrals
In this final section, you will find printed resources you can use to complete your between-session “homework” with peace and confidence, and much more - as well as referrals to organizations, websites, books, etc., you may find beneficial.

Consider an End-of-Life Doula…

An end-of-life doula (sometimes called a "death doula") is a holistic care practitioner specializing in the end of life. We help people prepare for death and journey through their dying experience with the most peace, comfort and connection possible, given their unique situation. 

This can include: providing physical/comfort care and teaching caregivers how to keep the dying person clean and comfortable, offering referrals and connecting families with important resources, assisting with advance directives, organizing care schedules, advocating for the client and/or family - and many other services - all based around the unique needs of the client and their circle of care.

​We bring peace into the room. We look for unmet needs and work to find ways to meet them, "walk alongside" and act as a sacred witness, support person and safe place for all involved.

What birth doulas do for those welcoming new life, we do for those leaving this life - and for those they love.

Note from Michelle: At this time, I focus my doula practice on helping families prepare for serious illness, injury and the end of life before the worst happens, as well as helping families organize care for loved ones with calm and maximum family cohesion.
