Conscious Dying and Birthing

The arrival of a new life and passing over of a loved one (including animal companions) are profound times for all involved. Collaboration at these momentous times may involve bringing emotional and thought/belief patterns into consciousness for integration and release with Adlerian/interpersonal psychotherapy and breathwork.

Also there are opportunities for connection with the immense support in the unseen realms for the ongoing journeys of all which can be accessed through mediation, visualisation and journeying. Existing spiritual practices and rituals are respected and incorporated with love and there is an overall intention of expansion into the eternal dimension of existence.

Making space for conscious dying, which reduces fear and expands loving connection for all involved, is deeply needed in our culture and in our times. Only when we embrace the journey of death can we truly and fully live. I am able to bring my broad experience to end of life for individuals and to support family in this time of great challenge, uncertainty and upheaval. In 2024 a near death experience further expanded my understanding of and relationship to passing over.

Support with conscious dying creates freedom for those passing over to embark ‘on the next adventure’, as one client at end of life described. It also encourages freedom for those carrying on in this plane of existence to expand around their grief and pain into greater love and acceptance.

I am able to support preparations for the coming of a new life, involving the examination and integration of emotional and thought/belief patterns that will affect the environment that the newcomer arrives into. Whether a new being is joining a single parent or a large family, a chance to examine internal habits and mental structures can create an new and expanded space of greater confidence, nurturing and love for all involved.

There are beautiful opportunities for expanded connection with the new arrival before birth to enhance their experience in the womb of unconditional safety, nurture and nourishment. This can also be very healing for parents and wider family as the human experience in our cultures has generally not enabled this sense of ease and belonging.

Please note that I am neither trained as a birth or death doula.  My involvement is on a level of supporting emotional, mental and spiritual/metaphysical experience and conscious engagement with life changes, and not on the practical aspects of birth and death.
