Peace of Mind Planner Workshops

For you and your loved ones

Using our signature Peace of Mind Planner, we guide individuals and families in creating a clear roadmap for their end-of-life wishes. This comprehensive workbook helps you document essential contacts, household instructions, digital accounts, social media wishes, and personal reflections.

Workshops are held in a safe, supportive space where we gently explore:

  • Advanced healthcare directives

  • Funeral and celebration of life plans

  • Legacy and values

  • Final messages and reflections

Though the conversation can be difficult, planning ahead offers immeasurable peace for you and your loved ones.

Death Doula Services

Compassionate presence, planning, education, advocacy and ceremonies

Just as birth doulas provide guidance at the beginning of life, Journey Home’s death doulas offer care and comfort at life’s end. We meet you and your family where you are with empathy, respect, and tenderness.

Our doula support includes:

  • Compassionate listening and emotional support

  • End-of-life planning and legacy exploration

  • Navigation of MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) processes

  • Gentle presence during the dying process 

  • Creation of ceremonies, goodbye parties and vigils

Each journey is unique. Our doulas work closely with individuals, families, and care teams to ensure a meaningful, dignified experience.

  • Group grief circles and support gatherings

  • Sound healing, meditation, yoga, and art therapy

  • Individual and family sessions
