As a conscious aging/conscious dying educator and guide, I believe by embracing the entire aging process, including its inevitable end, we can live more fully in the present. Through individual coaching, group discussions, presentations and workshops, I help you prepare for and live through each stage of aging, including facing limitations, finding creativity, grieving losses, leaving a legacy and cultivating wisdom along the way.
CONSCIOUS AGING
Exploring who you are now, given your life experiences
Discovering creative outlets for your inner life
Deciding where and how to live: home vs. senior community, downsizing, living with others
Determining how active/social you want to be at this stage of life
Facing limitations, changes and losses in the aging process
Becoming a wise elder and leaving a legacy
CONSCIOUS DYING

Personal – Exploring how you wish to spend the last chapter of your life, including hospice care, caregivers, supportive loved ones
Mental – Conducting your life review, exploring your legacy
Emotional – Finding peace with your past, forgiving, releasing regrets, seeking grief support
