Most medical systems are stretched thin, focusing primarily on physical symptoms and medication. While I bring 20 years of Palliative RN expertise, I provide the "high-touch" time that the system often cannot. I am your advocate, coach, and guide. I don't check vitals; I help you navigate the medical jargon, walk with you on local trails to process grief, and help you document your legacy.

As a private Nursing Consultant and Coach, my services are not currently covered by MSP. However, many Extended Health Care plans cover "Registered Nurse" services or "Social Work/Counselling" equivalents. I provide professional receipts with my RN registration number, which you can submit to your provider for potential reimbursement or use for medical tax credits.

I provide consultative and bedside support, but I am not a 24/7 nursing agency. My role is to empower the family and the patient. During the "active dying" phase (The Shoreline Vigil), I offer intensive presence and guidance, but for acute medical emergencies or 24-hour shift nursing, I coordinate with your existing Hospice team or Home Health agency.

These are nature-based coaching sessions. If a patient is mobile, we visit a local trail or park. If they are home-bound, I work with the caregiver. We use the rhythm of walking and the outdoors to process the heavy emotions of a terminal diagnosis. Movement helps "unstick" grief in a way that sitting in a clinical office often cannot.

That is wonderful. My services are collaborative, not competitive. I work alongside your Hospice RN and Physician to provide the extra layer of emotional and practical support that helps a family feel truly "held" through the transition.
