He took his last breath this morning.
Even when I am not physically beside someone at the end, I feel the weight and the grace of that moment.
This work continues to remind me of love, impermanence, and the quiet courage it takes to let go.

If you or someone you love is nearing end of life and would like support, please reach out.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. 🙏🏻❤️

Big changes are coming to Australia’s aged care system. The new Support at Home program will make it easier for older people to stay at home for longer, with more choice, flexibility and dignity.

End-of-Life Doulas can play an important role in this new framework, offering emotional, social and spiritual support alongside practical care.

In the blog, I explore how Doulas fit within the Support at Home reform and how their presence can help people live and die with comfort, meaning and connection.

If you'd like to know more, please reach out. I have a lot of information available to share.

🌈 Proudly Prepared: End of Life Planning

Last Saturday, we joined Rainbow Hub South Australia, End of Life Doula and Sage Executor Solutions at Diverse-City for a warm, inclusive workshop exploring end of life planning through an LGBTQ+ lens.

Together, we shared stories, practical tools and open conversations about care choices, planning and legacy — all grounded in dignity, pride and compassion.

A big thank you to Sue and Sarah for hosting us and the wonderful Rainbow Hub committee for your support. It was wonderful to meet everyone who came along and contributed to such a meaningful afternoon. 🌿

If you could go anywhere one last time… where would it be?

Some people dream of returning to a place that changed them.
Others long to see something they’ve never experienced — a mountain, a river, a city they’ve only imagined.

These aren’t just holidays.
They’re journeys of meaning, memory, and connection.
They remind us what really matters and who we want beside us when we go.

So tell me — where would your heart take you, if you could choose one final destination?

We prepare for life’s big beginnings — but how often do we prepare for its endings?

An End of Life Doula walks beside individuals and families through the final stages of life. I offer steady, non-medical support that brings calm, clarity and compassion when things feel uncertain.

At Your Path Guide, my role is to complement medical and care teams — helping people navigate choices, conversations and emotions with confidence and peace.

Because the end of life deserves the same respect, planning and presence that we give to every other meaningful moment.

If you’d like to explore how I can support you, your loved ones or your organisation, you’re welcome to reach out or visit my website. The link is in the bio.
