you are capable of making significant change in this world.
You don't have to be facing death for us to have a relationship. We can talk, get your paperwork in order, start creating legacy projects, organize your possessions and more. It can be pretty sweet when we get time to know each other.
When we do this in advance, we get to meet once a year, or more if you'd like, update changes, share space and talk. When the time comes for me to support your end of life care, we will have had time on our side.
We will have the benefit of trust, knowledge and grace on our side.
To honour my values and dreams of a different way of living, my services labeled with B&T are open for a barter or trade for payment.

I am a Human Tender
As the rest of my work, my end-of-life work is rooted in trust, real talk and touch.
Trust
As a human walking this earth, at this time, I understand trust differently. Trust with body, trust with touch, trust with care, trust with knowledge... people give you trust and this trust must not be taken lightly. It needs to be held, nurtured and celebrated. As our connections grow, rooted in love and trust, we heal.
Real Talk
We talk about all topics. Comfortable, hard to broach, uncomfortable, scary, daunting, emotional and necessary ones. Medical touch can be purely investigative. My touch is a non-medical, a nurturing and loving one. A touch, that is whole, sturdy, strong and unwavering
All that this touch embodies, is carried throughout my work.
It is carried folding laundry, brushing hair, sanitizing bathrooms, cooking dinner or transcribing letters. It is carried in planning a celebration of life, completing advance care paperwork. dressing the shroud, and sharing a hug. It is carried in the way I hold the people.
I am a tender of humans, I tend bodies and spirits.
My time is valued and my offerings are available for barter and trades; and a sliding scale rate
People looking to support my sliding scale end of life care, pay more, book a massage and buy some art!
