A holistic approach to end-of-life care

In modern societies, we often avoid conversations about death, yet each of us will experience death and grief throughout our lives.

Death is all around us in the natural world. Plants die, animals die, our pets die, people we love die, and we, too, will die.

Learning about and holding space for death and grief can transform the way we live. But this isn’t a space that is all sunshine and rainbows. We honor the messy, tragic, and profoundly challenging too.

Death and grief are universal yet deeply personal. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Every story and every relationship is unique.

I’m Rhea

A guide, educator, and creator of sacred spaces for navigating the realities of dying, death, and grief. I’m a certified thanatologist and my work is grounded in experiences serving as a chaplain, coach, and meditation guide.

I believe that death, while often challenging and complex, is an integral and sacred part of life. Through my offerings, I help individuals, families, and aspiring professionals reclaim the beauty, meaning, and transformation that can come from engaging deeply with these experiences.
