I use a sliding-scale, flexible payment model, and offer some services pro bono.
Each person is unique and and will require a flexible, curated combination of services. Here is a list of commonly requested services:
HANDS-ON CARE
As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), I can provide personal care and practical assistance. These services include, but are not limited to: bathing, feeding, transfers, and household support.
CAREGIVER RESPITE
When we have the honor of serving as a caregiver, it can be hard to step away. Even when we do, we might struggle with feelings of guilt, or worry the person serving in our stead is not up to the task. Let me step in and provide meaningful respite to you, by providing the sort of warm and competent care that will put your mind at ease.
DESIGNING AND SITTING VIGIL
I will attend to you with dedication in your final moments, and imbue your environment with peace and comfort. I will not be lost in my thoughts. I will be truly present with you, and in that presence I will be able to attend to your needs, even if you cannot vocalize them.
You also have the option to design this environment. If you are interested in creating a space that feels sacred to you, or that you know will bring you comfort, together we will develop a plan that suits you. This is a flexible vision that may grow or change as our work together progresses.
LEGACY PROJECTS
How do you want to be remembered? Together, we can record your legacy in a way that suits you.
PALLIATIVE REIKI
Reiki is an ancient Japanese therapeutic technique. It uses gentle touch and strategic hand placement to work with, and balance energy. This can increase comfort and relaxation. It can also reduce anxiety and some forms of pain.
