Planning brings peace of mind

She works alongside individuals and families in the process of planning a "good death". This planning phase relieves pressure from Caregivers in terms of not having to guess what the wishes of the patient are. Sometimes a "Healthcare Proxy" is chosen to reinforce these wishes on behalf of the patient with family and healthcare providers. Denise is available for everything from Advanced Directive Planning to providing in-person and remote Reiki to ease physical/emotional discomfort.
