From Chaos to Clarity: Finding Peace in End-of-Life Planning
Planning for your own or a loved one's end-of-life can feel heavy and overwhelming. I guide you - gently - through practical steps, emotional support, and personalised ceremonies so your wishes are clear and your family has peace of mind
Why Planning Feels Overwhelming (And Why That’s Okay)
Life is a beautiful whirlwind of work, family, and responsibilities. Big conversations get pushed aside. When we finally face end-of-life planning, it can feel like too much - overwhelm is natural. My role is to turn that weight into calm, clarity, and confidence.
My Story: From a Whisper to a Mission
Years ago, a loved one’s death became a frantic search for documents and answers - when what we truly needed was space to be together. That experience lit a fire in me. I saw how a simple conversation and a gentle plan could have brought comfort and direction. Today, through VITA Life & Legacy, I offer exactly that: a safe, supportive way forward.
How I Help You Move From Chaos to Calm
1. Get Organised with The Complete End-of-Life Planner
Starting is the hardest part. My planner breaks everything into kind, manageable steps - legal and financial notes, personal wishes, values, music, readings, memories, and where to find what matters. It’s your roadmap, at your pace, in your words.
2. Gentle Emotional Support (End-of-Life Doula)
This journey isn’t just paperwork. As a doula, I walk alongside you and your family - listening deeply, easing fears, holding space, and helping you navigate conversations with calm and compassion. The tone is always inclusive, hopeful, and human.
3. Meaningful Funerals & Memorials (Celebrant)
Ceremonies should reflect a life well-lived. Together, we design farewells that feel true - music, stories, rituals, and symbols that honour your person and comfort your people. You focus on love and memories; I handle structure and flow.
The Gift of Peace
Planning isn’t morbid - it’s an act of love. Small, steady steps today spare your family stress tomorrow and protect the legacy you’ve worked so hard to build. Let’s make it gentle, kind, and beautifully you.
FAQs
What is end-of-life planning?
It’s documenting your medical, legal, financial, and personal wishes so the right people know what matters and where to find everything - when it’s needed most.
How does an End-of-Life Doula help?
By providing emotional support, practical guidance, and calm presence - before, during, and after dying - so families feel companioned, not alone.
Can we personalise a funeral or memorial?
Absolutely. We’ll craft a ceremony that reflects values, stories, culture, faith, music, and the little details that made them, them.
Where should I start if I feel overwhelmed?
Begin with one small step: write down your top three wishes and who to contact. Then complete The Complete End-of-Life Planner, section by section.
Do you work locally around Brisbane?
Yes - I’m based in Brisbane and support families from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast (and online for planning and doula support).
