Everyone says, “Don’t talk about death—you’re being pessimistic, Crystal.”

Meanwhile… I’ve read the fine print. I know death shows up for all of us—invited or uninvited.

I prefer to be on a first-name basis-it's less awkward this way.

Most people don’t realize there are supports available beyond medical care after a death.

Things like:
• help sitting with the dying
• guidance for family caregivers
• ritual or vigil planning
• cleaning and tending to a space after a loss

You don’t have to do everything alone—especially at the end of life.

This page exists to make those options visible, gently.

📍 Looking for a Morning Death Café Space ☕🍰☠

I’m seeking a welcoming space to host a weekday morning Death Café (8–10 AM or 9–11 AM, M–F) in Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Murphy, Hayesville, Young Harris, or nearby.

Needs to seat ~20 people and allow tea, cake, and light snacks while we talk about death and living well.

Know a space? Please comment, message me, or share this post—thank you! 💛

If talking about death made it happen, most of us would be immortal by now.

Instead, what does happen is relief. Laughter. Honesty. Real conversation.

Turns out, death doesn’t mind being talked about—but fear does.

☕ (This is your reminder that it’s okay to bring your humor and your humanity to the table.) ☕

Many people don’t know a exists—until they wish they’d had one.
A death doula can:
• help navigate end-of-life choices 🧭
• hold space for emotional and spiritual needs 🎭
• support family caregivers 🧩
• help plan vigils, rituals, or meaningful moments ⚱
• remind everyone that this time matters ⏳

It’s not about replacing hospice or medical care. It’s about supporting the human side of dying.

If this is new to you, you’re not alone.
💛 Follow along to learn more or share with someone who may need this someday.

📍I believe the way we talk about death matters.

📌When we avoid it, fear grows.
When we name it, something softens.

❣ My work—whether through death doula support, Death Café, or quiet conversations—centers on helping people face mortality with honesty, compassion, and choice.

If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
💛 Follow, stay awhile, and share if it feels right.

Hi, I’m Jillian 🤍

It’s been a little while since I’ve checked in here, and I wanted to share that there’s been a meaningful shift happening in my life.

I’m the heart behind Wild Roots Holistic, an Integrative Healing Arts practice rooted in mindfulness, energy healing, and whole-person wellness. Over the years, my path has continued to guide me back to this work—work that feels deeply aligned, intentional, and true.

I am a Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master, Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator, and Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner with nearly 7 years of experience in energy healing. My approach supports the nervous system, emotional balance, spiritual connection, and the body’s natural ability to heal—meeting each person exactly where they are.

At Wild Roots Holistic, I hold space for those who are navigating stress, transition, burnout, or simply feeling called to slow down and reconnect. This work blends Reiki, mindfulness, intuitive guidance, and holistic practices that honor both science and spirit.

My office is located between Young Harris and Hiawassee, Georgia, near Lake Chatuge, offering a peaceful setting for rest, reflection, and renewal.

This season feels like a return—to presence, purpose, and roots.
If you’re feeling a shift too, you’re warmly welcome here 🌿

Find someone who will advocate for you and your autonomy.

Today I facilitated my first community program. My goal in life is to educate people on the importance of advance care planning. Adults 18+ have a right to make healthcare decisions and nominate others in the event they are unable to make decisions for themselves.

Talking about death doesn’t make life heavier.
For many people (me!), it actually makes life clearer.

Death Café exists to hold space for the conversations most of us aren’t given room for—until we create it ourselves.

If you’re craving meaningful conversation, connection, or a pause from small talk, you’re welcome here. ☕🍰☠️🪦⚱️⚰️

Next Death Café is January 26, 6p-8p, 1489 Blue Ridge Hwy, Blairsville GA. I can't wait to see you!
