Here/After Service Offerings

  • End-of-Life Planning

    I help you plan ahead with clarity and intention, whether you’re planning for the future or navigating something more immediate. Together, we can talk through care directives, funeral wishes (including home funerals), frameworks like Five Wishes, and other details that help ensure your choices reflect what matters most to you.

  • Death Literacy Education

    I offer down-to-earth, compassionate education around death and dying to help demystify the process and reduce fear. Through conversation and guidance, you can build confidence, understanding, and a more empowered relationship with end-of-life. Just want to talk through and understand your personal relationship with death? I’m all ears and gentle nudges to move the dialogue along.

  • Grief + Bereavement

    Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to move through it alone. I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support and space to process your experience. This includes disenfranchised grief like a relationship breakup or divorce, loss of a pet, significant change like moving or switching jobs, or even “joyful” life milestones. Not a licensed counseling service (and not intended to replace that), I offer a place to be heard, supported, and met exactly where you are.

  • Pet Grief + Loss

    If you’re like me, pets aren’t just animals you keep around the house. They are beloved family members who make that house a home. And losing one can feel wholly different from any other kind of loss in life. I provide gentle support to help you honor your pet’s life and navigate the grief. Together, we create space to remember, reflect, and find comfort while processing this often-overlooked loss. I also provide local courier services to deliver your pet to an aftercare establishment of your choice or pick up your pet’s remains on your behalf.

  • Legacy Capture + Storytelling

    I help individuals and families capture stories, values, and memories through a collaborative, reflective process that honors the life lived and creates something meaningful for loved ones. This work can also support healing, guide eulogies or obituaries, and contribute to family genealogy efforts.

  • Life Celebrant

    I work closely with you to create ceremonies that feel personal, thoughtful, and aligned with your values. Whether speaking at a funeral, writing an obituary, or officiating a wedding, I treat each moment with honor and intention. Because each life, each moment is unique, no two celebrations of life are the same with me.

  • Swedish Death Cleaning

    Following the practices of Swedish author Margareta Magnusson, I offer supportive, judgment-free help in sorting through belongings and simplifying your space with intention. This process can ease the burden on loved ones while creating room to reflect, remember, and hold onto what truly matters.

  • Respite, Presence, + an Extra Hand

    I offer a calm, compassionate presence to support both those nearing the end of life and their loved ones. Whether it’s sitting quietly, helping with daily tasks, or simply being there so caregivers can take a break, my goal is to provide practical help and emotional relief with care and respect.

  • Public Speaking + Group Events

    Drawing on my past experience as a presenter and high education instructor, I lead conversations, workshops, and gatherings that invite honest, approachable dialogue about death, dying, and grief. These spaces are designed to foster connection, curiosity, and a deeper, more open relationship with life’s most universal experiences.

    These are the general services I currently provide, but I am working on adding new offerings. Please reach out if you’re looking for something specific not listed here.

Here/After’s Code of Honor

I believe in respect, integrity, and confidentiality, and I protect these values for not only myself but my clients. I believe all people deserve dignity.
