Death Care
Death is with us all the time —
in the loss, transitions, and liminal spaces we are always navigating.
I’ve been there with you as you navigated losing a parent.
I’ve helped you adjust to a new reality that didn’t include the love of your life.
I’ve been there to scatter your dog’s ashes with you on his favorite beach.
I’ve been by your side as you walked the coals of spiritual death.
I’ve held your hand as you left your body at end of life.
My death care practice is a tapestry that weaves together:
-
Bedside Support
Sitting with your loved one as they approach their final breath
-
Urgent Grief Care
For those experiencing abrupt or unexpected loss
-
Death Side of the Moon
Monthly group session shepherding energetic death and renewal
-
Home Funeral Stories
Friends join my new podcast to share their home-funeral stories

Bedside Support
Los Angeles, California
I’m here to be with your loved one as they die.
We may have days or weeks to prepare, or only a few moments. We’ll work with what we have. This could involve arranging the space (whether it’s home or a medical facility) to look, sound, and feel the way your loved one desires for their passing. It could look like preparing and enacting meaningful ritual together. It could look like talking your loved one through death anxiety or unresolved concerns, and helping them find relaxation and calm. It could look like respite support for you, the caregiver. And I’ll be there to sit beside you and your loved one as they cross this most precious of thresholds.
If you’re interested in bedside support, for yourself or for a loved one, you can schedule a free 30-minute consultation below.
If your need is urgent, please call or text: (818) 452-3789. You can call or text this number at any hour of the day — I will call you back as soon as I can.
Our first 30-minute phone or Zoom call is free. I will let you know on this first call how I can support you going forward, and what my rates are.
Urgent Grief Care
When loss is sudden, traumatic, accidental, or violent… I am here to offer remote support. This support can be spiritual, emotional, and practical.
If your need is urgent, please call or text: (818) 452-3789. You can call or text this number at any hour of the day — I will call you back as soon as I can.

Death Side of the Moon
Once a month, I offer this group container which bridges energy work and death care. This is my favorite offering! It’s a little bit of everything that I do.
In Death Side of the Moon, I’m supporting you in moving through your personal life-death-life cycles. Three people, three phases: a group death chat, my transmission on energy deaths, and finally energy work for each attendee.
Death Side of the Moon happens at the end of the lunar cycle, just before New Moon: a perfect moment for cleansing and releasing.
Next Death Side of the Moon: TBD
Cost: $154
Additional Resources
Grief ritual: Dr. Mia Hetényi’s free grief rituals, available over Zoom to those in her Dreaming Awake Facebook group. Also, her writing on grief (on Facebook, Instagram) is the deepest and most expansive I’ve found.
Home funerals: for those in the U.S., please know that home funerals are legal in all 50 states. The exact laws vary by state — a good starting place for researching your state’s laws is the National Home Funeral Alliance. They also have an incredible PDF guidebook available on their website. To hear firsthand home funeral stories, check out my podcast: Home Funeral Stories.
My favorite holistic deathcare workers to follow on social media are Narinder Bazen (who I interviewed on my podcast) and the Aware Care Library, great for suicide-aware resources.
Death Cafes: Attend (or host!) a local Death Cafe, where people gather to drink tea and discuss death. We all need safe spaces to reflect openly on death.

Doomer Optimism Podcast, Episode 192: Tending Our Dead Ourselves with Joe Orso and Susan Nesbit
“Jane led me to profound reflections on my relationship with death…
…especially when it concerns the people I love most. I would recommend her offering to anyone who wants to experience the scintillating liminality inherent in daily life. I believe I’ll experience deeper connection with myself and those around me in the time to come as a result of the reflections Jane prompted.”
