BEYOND THE LIGHT CENTER

For those on a journey home - and those who love them

Welcome to a place of understanding, compassion, and guidance.

Facing the end of life is a profound and deeply personal experience. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I am here to guide you through this sacred passage. As your Death Doula, I walk beside you, providing individualized care plans, comfort, and compassionate guidance for the journey home.

Heidi is dedicated to providing tailored, empathetic care for people who are dying and their loved ones.

Grief tending

A step toward healing

A grief circle is a gathering place where we bring our grief and sorrows to be shared and held in a sacred space. Every circle is different with the same intention: to be heard, seen, witnessed by fellow grievers, and held with love and compassion.

You are encouraged to bring an item to place on the altar that we build together in order to create a community.

Without community, it is difficult to move through grief to find peace and begin to heal. It is important to understand that we all grieve differently and at different paces. There is a place in the group for everyone. All grief is welcome.

Grief is complex, so please understand this is a process you move through, and that process takes time. It is my intention to create a safe container where your heart and soul can find relief and be enlivened by the expression of love that is ever present here.

End-of-life planning

I have made an End-of-Life Planning Workbook to assist you through this significant phase. It covers everything from personal wishes to family roles, aiming to bring clarity and peace.

About Heidi

I serve people with terminal health conditions looking for a guide home. I do this through a personal relationship where we discuss end-of-life choices such as managing comfort, personal wishes, family engagement, coordinating help, planning services, and grief support. I work with the family and local services to coordinate these choices.
