Peacefully Prepared

End of Life Coach, In-home Funeral Guide

As an End of Life Coach, I am passionate in holding and creating sacred space, personal ritual, spiritual practice and creative choices through dying and deathcare. I believe we can learn to die and in learning to die we actually awaken to life itself.  In serving the dying and grieving, I favor conversations in the art of saying good-bye, exploring what death asks of us and deserves, how to prepare oneself consciously for the dying process, the compassionate merits of in-home family-directed funerals, green burial awareness, and the welcoming and witnessing of grief.

Founder of Peacefully Prepared, I have most recently developed a Spiritual Care Directive for Buddhists.  This 10-part signature process guides clients in planning out their end of life practice from their Dharma Vision all the way through to the 49 Days following death.  I also encourage end of life wishes and planning in my 5 chapter notebook called a Passing Plan. These spiritual and practical processes are an act of self-love in preparing for end of life and an act of kindness to ease the grief and stress of your loved ones.  Continuously serving and raising awareness about the in-home funeral option, clients are able to apply their spiritual practices and create auspicious conditions at the time of death.  Having performed in-home funerals for her own family as well as clients, I am passionate about exploring and providing resources for this treasured process.

A Tibetan Buddhist, I have studied under Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche for 33 years and serve as a Board and Volunteer Member for Rangjung Yeshe Gomde California (RYG CA), his Tibetan Buddhist Retreat Center. I have had the honor of developing a dying and death program for its community of practitioners and give group talks annually. I also respect the work of Stephen Jenkinson, as well as Andrew Holecek and am currently in his 4 part program Graceful Exits. I regularly retreat for teachings on Phowa and how to navigate the bardos. Most recently, I was honored to give talks at Tara Mandala, in Colorado, in how to prepare for dying by “Writing your Spiritual Care Directive for Buddhists”.
