Ritual Design & Facilitation
Death Midwifery

"Ritual affirms the common patterns, the values, the shared joys, risks, sorrows, and changes that bind a community together. Ritual links together our ancestors and descendants, those who went before with those will come after us."

Ritual Facilitation & Death Midwifery

Honoring Life’s Sacred Thresholds
Ceremony is a bridge between the seen and unseen.
Ritual marks the moments when life asks us to pause, witness, grieve, remember, or begin again.
As a Ritual Facilitator, Priestess, and Death Midwife, I offer trauma-informed, non-dogmatic spiritual care for individuals, families, and communities navigating life’s most meaningful transitions—especially those surrounding death, loss, and profound change.
Together, we co-create rituals and supportive containers that reflect your values, cultural context, and spiritual language. Whether simple or elaborate, each offering is crafted with authenticity, consent, and care—allowing meaning, healing, and presence to emerge naturally.

Ritual & Ceremony Offerings

  • Rites of Passage
    Weddings, funerals, memorials, coming-of-age ceremonies, and other significant life transitions
  • Personalized Rituals
    Custom ceremonies for grief, transformation, healing, endings, or new beginnings
  • Individual, Family, or Community Facilitation
    Available for private sessions, families, or larger gatherings
Each ritual is thoughtfully designed, written, and facilitated to create a grounded sacred container where remembrance, integration, and connection can unfold.

Death Midwifery & End-of-Life Support

Death midwifery offers compassionate accompaniment before, during, and after death. This work is not about hastening death—it is about presence, dignity, preparation, and meaning.
Support may include:
  • End-of-life planning & legacy conversations
    Values-based death planning, spiritual or ethical wishes, and legacy reflection
  • Vigils & bedside presence
    Gentle, non-intrusive support during active dying for individuals and loved ones
  • Home funeral & after-death care guidance
    Education and support for families choosing home vigils or home funerals (in accordance with local laws)
  • Funeral & memorial rites
    Personalized, non-religious or spiritually inclusive ceremonies
  • Grief & bereavement support
    Ongoing support for anticipatory grief, acute loss, and long-term mourning
  • Liaison support
    Assistance navigating conversations with funeral homes, hospice, and care teams
This work is trauma-informed, consent-based, and designed to complement—not replace—medical, hospice, or therapeutic care.

Pricing & Collaboration

  • Ritual facilitation & ceremony design: $150 per hour
    (Includes consultation, collaborative design, writing, and facilitation)
  • Death midwifery, planning, and grief sessions: $150 per hour
  • Extended vigils, funerals, or home funeral support: priced by scope and duration
Because each situation is unique, I welcome conversation to determine what level of support feels appropriate and resourced.

Accessibility & Flexible Pricing

I am committed to offering spiritual care, ritual support, and end-of-life accompaniment with integrity and sustainability. Services are offered at professional rates, with limited flexibility available when cost is a genuine barrier.
Reduced-rate sessions or package pricing may be available by request, depending on capacity. If accessibility is a concern, you’re welcome to name that during inquiry, and we can explore what feels possible.
This approach allows care to remain grounded, ethical, and present for everyone involved.


A Note on Care & Availability

This work is relational and presence-based. Availability for end-of-life and funeral support is limited and prioritized by immediacy of need. If I am unavailable, I will do my best to help connect you with other trusted resources.
You do not need to know exactly what you want yet.
Part of this work is helping you listen for what is needed—together.
