JINGLE BELLS; EXISTENTIAL DREAD
Visual representation of the fact that death is always in the background. Haha!

(Festivity level: high. Mortality awareness: higher. )

Una buena muerte es una muerte aceptada y acompañada.
.. Un hospital sin cuidados paliativos es el peor lugar para morir, porque te van a tratar de curar contra la muerte, y eso es lo mas doloroso que te puede pasar.

Hi, I’m Natalia! I wanted to introduce myself, in case you're new here!

I’m an End-of-Life Doula and educator based in Toronto and the human behind Your Last Chapter. I started this profile to offer practical, heart-level information to anyone who wants to face mortality with more clarity and less fear.

My work sits at the intersection of planning, education, community care, and honest conversation. I offer bilingual (English/Spanish) end-of-life planning sessions, legacy and values-work, caregiver support, vigil preparation, and workshops around death literacy. I’ve held multiple Death Cafés, and currently have a few projects in the works to facilitate reflection and conversations about end of life planning and care.

I started this account because most people don’t know where to start. My goal is to change that. I help individuals and families prepare early, talk openly, document their wishes, explore and understand their options, and build confidence around choices, which can often feel overwhelming.

At the core, my work is about holding space: space for grief, questions, uncertainty, humour, fear, and the parts of life we’re taught to avoid.

I want people to feel less alone, more informed, and more in control of their Last Chapter.

If you’re new here, welcome!
Take what you need, stay curious, and feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to know more! 💫

✨️ Things are happening! ✨️

I was recently approached by a community ambassador from NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities) who invited me to offer a presentation on End-of-Life Planning.

[[ NORC stands for Naturally Occurring Retirement Community. These are communities where the population has become older over time. Many residents may have moved in when they were younger and are now retiring there.
Purpose: These communities create opportunities to deliver social and health services to support residents who want to "age in place." ]]

Of course, I jumped at the opportunity — with both feet and without hesitation!

After hosting a few Death Cafés, it’s become clear that people want to talk about end-of-life care and planning. Many are curious but cautious — unsure how to begin or afraid of what it might stir up.
But those who come? They leave lighter, more connected, and often glad to have finally had the conversation.

The feedback has been incredibly affirming, and being invited to give this presentation feels like a beautiful sign that this work — my death work — is not only meaningful but needed.

Yes, it’s a slow build. And yes, it is partly (or mainly) because my energy and capacity are stretched thin between all the roles I carry. But even with all that — it’s worth it. Every conversation, every shared moment, every seed planted reminds me why I do this.

This work sets my heart on fire and fills my soul with purpose. ✨️
I’m so grateful for every opportunity to connect, to listen, and to help others reflect on what truly matters at the end of life.

Starting 2026 with this presentation feels like the right way to begin — with intention, community, and hope for what’s still to come.

💭 May we all find the courage to talk about what matters most — while we still can.

Thinking of my friend - whose mom died a year ago today. I saw this quote and immediately thought of you, Tarah.

I can only imagine how much you miss your mom.
I just want you to know that she’s still here in all the quiet, beautiful ways she shaped you.
Her love didn’t disappear; it just changed form.
You carry her with you every day.

Sending you a big hug and all my love today. 💛

This is 39.

As I review my 30s, I can recognize that my goals are layered but consistent. I'm working on building a life that has both meaning and autonomy. Ideally, my life will blend purpose with personal peace. I am not looking for success in the traditional sense, I'm chasing alignment: where work, identity, and relationships all match my internal compass, moving through life guided by care, not ambition.

I am so grateful for the people who have touched my lofe and have remained over the years, those who see me and appreciate me for who I am and in all my versions.

As for my 40s, I want it to be a decade of integration. I’ve spent my 30s gathering experiences, surviving heartbreak, raising humans, proving competence, and sketching dreams. So my 40s will be about convergence: choosing what stays and letting the rest fall away. I want to stop second-guessing myself and start leading—quietly, powerfully, without needing validation or permission. The next year, treating it as a threshold year, will be equal parts clearing, building, and grounding: setting intention, cleaning house, choosing my next decade instead of being dragged into it.

Cheers for what's to come!

✨️ Death is the greatest teacher ✨️

During my time in Colombia, I had the wonderful opportunity to share a very special experience with my sister. We got handpoke tattoos! She chose a sun ☀️ and moon 🌚 design for us to share, and I finally got to get my "Memento Mori" tattoo!

A reminder etched into my skin and the fact that it was done by handpoke even more beautiful and symbolic because the slowness and intention of handpoke matches the meaning of memento mori perfectly.

each dot pressed slowly, deliberately, intentionally.
A rhythm of presence.
A meditation in ink.

To remember death is not to feel sorrow,
but to awaken to life.
To see the fragility and brevity of our time here
and to appreciate the wonder woven through each ordinary moment.

This *Memento Mori* ink that now stains my arm is the best reminder to pause, notice, forgive, embrace each moment, and speak what matters while I can.

Life is brief.
Let's make it marvelous ✨️

I thought a lot about whether or not to post this as I wanted to share this experience without making it sound like AI is a negative thing or something to avoid. AI is here to stay and - whether we like it or whether we are ready for it - we must find a way to embrace it.

AI is a powerful tool that can be easier, cheaper, faster than any human but I wasn't just going in to share "a list of things to do." I was offering my presence, my care, my ability to hold silence, uncertainty, fear, and love in a tender space. That is not something that chatGPT can offer.

ultimately, the reason for me to offer these spaces to explore and embrace our mortality is to have people start thinking about their death and planning for it - how they go about it or what resources they use is totally up to them and I am just glad to see my work having an impact and i am so proud of to see them taking the initiative and the action to get started in this process!!

🕯️ offerings that set us apart:

✨️ A human presence attuned to body language, emotion, silence.

✨️ The ability to respond intuitively in real time to complex relational dynamics.

✨️ Building trust and holding space in a way that invites safety and depth.

✨️ Cultural, soul and grief nuances.

✨️ Care, not just content.

ChatGPT is a tool that helps get things started but the key of this work is in the companioning, in walking this journey together.

I am not here to be indispensable.
I am here to be of service.
And I will be there when they are ready in whichever capacity they need me.

Went on a bubble tea break with my teen while running around this weekend, and the place was full of sticky notes with messages and drawings - such a cute idea! There were markers and color pencils and stickys available for you to add yours! Had to leave one to celebrate Colombia's independence day 🇨🇴 today
(QUE VIVA COLOMBIA!!!! ❤️)

& I had to share my favourite find! 🤩🐕
