Hi, thank you for visiting!

Steady presence at the bedside
Non-clinical vigil support to ensure comfort, peace, and honored choices during active dying and beyond
Clinical care is intermittent by design, often leaving long stretches when families must navigate active dying alone. Bedside Vigil Support provides a steady, non-clinical companion to be present through these hours, attuning to comfort, honoring personal wishes, and carrying the practical quiet so loved ones can simply be present.
Offered exclusively in-person within Whatcom County, WA
How I Show Up at the Bedside
Monitoring the environment, offering physical touch (like hand-holding) if desired, and maintaining a calm, centered space.
Continuous Presence & Comfort
Serving as a bridge to your medical or hospice team to ensure your built preferences are clearly communicated and put into action.
Active Advocacy
Integrating personalized rituals or spiritual support aligned with your beliefs, when requested.

Need support right now?
If your loved one is in active transition, I maintain an urgent response policy. Please send me a message that includes “urgent bedside request,” along with any other information you’d like to add, before I contact you. Inquiries are responded to within 24 hours, and arrival times are coordinated directly over the phone.
After you schedule
Once your intake form is submitted and payment is received, I will contact you within 24 hours to confirm the details (date, time, and location) based on the information in your intake form and answer any questions before I arrive.
An after-hours surcharge of $50 applies to arrivals before 7:00 AM or after 8:00 PM. This will be noted at booking. Payment is collected at the time of booking through Acuity. Your booking is not confirmed until payment is received.
A note on capacity
I work with a small number of individuals at a time to give my full presence to everyone I serve. If I am currently at capacity, I will let you know and add you to my interest list. You will not be forgotten, and I will follow up as soon as space opens.
