End-of-Life Planning
Prepared • Comforted • Unburdened • Reconciled
YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS PEACE OF MIND
You don't have to navigate end-of-life planning alone. Together, we'll create space for the important conversations, decisions, and preparations that help you move forward with greater confidence, support, and peace of mind.
Whether you're thinking ahead for yourself, caring for aging parents, or walking alongside a loved one, you'll receive compassionate guidance, practical tools, and a personalized approach that allows you to take meaningful steps forward—at a pace that feels right for you.
You Don't Have to Know Exactly What to Do
End-of-life planning can feel overwhelming. There are important decisions to make, difficult conversations to have, emotions that often surface along the way, and countless details that can leave you wondering where to begin.
You don't have to know exactly what to do—we'll figure it out together.
My role is to meet you where you are and empower you to handle the challenges that might arise. We'll develop a path forward that reflects your values, your wishes, and your unique circumstances.
My goal isn't simply to walk you through a checklist. It's to ensure you leave feeling supported, capable, and prepared to move through one of life's most significant transitions in a way that’s authentic to you. Whether you're just beginning the process or have found yourself stuck somewhere along the way, you'll leave with greater direction, renewed confidence, and a clearer understanding of your next steps.
Why So Many People Put It Off
End-of-life planning asks us to think about some of the most difficult questions we’ll ever face, which is why so many people put it off.
Beyond the practical decisions, there may be complicated family dynamics to manage, while fear, grief, uncertainty, and guilt can surface unexpectedly throughout this journey. There is also the underlying stress of leaving behind an emotional and financial burden for loved ones to navigate.
These thoughts and feelings are completely natural.
When we don't have the right support, it's easy to become overwhelmed or avoid the process altogether—not because we don't care, but because it feels like too much to carry on our own.
You don't have to untangle it all on your own. Sometimes the hardest part isn't making the decisions—it's simply taking the first step.
A Different Way Forward
I believe end-of-life planning is more than completing documents or checking boxes. Since every person's life, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances are unique, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
It's about creating a plan that reflects who you are, what matters most to you, and how you want to care for both yourself and the people you love.
That's why we begin with you.
We'll take the time to understand where you are today—both practically and emotionally—before creating a customized roadmap that’s manageable and meaningful.
What We'll Work Through Together
Every person's journey is different, so the areas we focus on will depend on your unique situation, priorities, and goals. We’ll make sure the things that matter most receive the attention they need.
Depending on your primary concerns and your time, energy, and emotional capacity right now, we may explore areas such as:
Organizing important information, documents, contacts, and accounts so you and your loved ones know what has to be done
Exploring your wishes around incapacity, medical care, end-of-life decisions, and the legacy you want to leave behind
Navigating meaningful conversations with family members and loved ones
Bringing compassionate awareness to the emotions or patterns that may be keeping you stuck so you can better understand yourself and build strategies that allow you to continue moving forward
Creating sustainable systems and next steps so you’re prepared to carry on after our time together
Rather than trying to accomplish everything at once, we'll focus on the areas that will have the greatest impact for you, building self-assurance and momentum, one step at a time.
Your program includes:
Eight weekly 60-minute virtual 1:1 coaching sessions
A customized planning worksheet with adapted action items, checklists, resources, and progress tracking
Mid-week email check-ins to celebrate your wins and growth, answer questions, and keep you on track
Email support between sessions for questions that arise throughout the program
Every resource and conversation is tailored to your situation, leaving you with a roadmap and tools that continue to serve you long after our work together.
How You'll Be Supported
From our first session onward, you'll have access to personalized coaching, functional tools, and thoughtful resources designed to move through the process with greater ease and direction. You’ll also receive gentle accountability and compassionate guidance so you can make steady progress without having to figure everything out on your own.
About Sky
I've experienced many of life's major transitions myself, and I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate them with little or no support.
I coach the way I do because it's what I wished I had.
Those experiences taught me that what people need most isn't just practical or emotional—it's a thoughtful combination of both.
During our most difficult moments, we often need someone who can help us organize the logistics, make sense of what we're feeling, and discover a path forward that’s authentic to who we are. That's the approach I bring to every person I work with.
Whether we're navigating end-of-life planning or another significant life transition, my goal is to create a space where you’re supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with more clarity, self-reliance, and self-compassion.
Is This Program Right for You?
This program may be a good fit if you:
Are ready to begin end-of-life planning, even if you don't know where to start
Want a partner in navigating both the functional and emotional aspects of the process
Appreciate an individualized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution
Are open to exploring what's getting in the way of your growth and healing
Want to put thoughtful preparations in place that mirror your values, wishes, and the people you love
Are looking for compassionate guidance, workable tools, and steady encouragement as you continue on
This program may not be ideal if you're looking for someone to take the journey for you—whether that's telling you exactly what to do or doing the work on your behalf. I'll walk beside you, offer guidance, and provide support—but you'll be the one taking each step with intention.
My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in the belief that the most meaningful decisions are the ones that reflect your life, relationships, and principles.

FAQs
-
One of the most common reasons people put off end-of-life planning is because they don't know where to begin—and that's completely understandable. There are often many decisions to consider, emotions to process, and practical details to organize, making it difficult to know what should come first.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. We'll start by understanding your unique situation, priorities, and goals, then work together to identify the areas that matter most. From there, we'll move forward one step at a time, at a pace that feels manageable and aligned with your needs.
-
Not at all.
End-of-life planning isn't just for people who are seriously ill or nearing the end of life. It's for adults who want to make thoughtful decisions in advance, reduce uncertainty for themselves and the people they love, and ensure their wishes are understood and respected.
Some people join because they're thinking ahead about their own future. Others are supporting aging parents, navigating a recent diagnosis, preparing after a major life transition, or simply want the peace of mind that comes from having important conversations and practical plans in place before they're urgently needed.
However, this program is intended for adults (18 years and older).
Wherever you're starting from, we'll focus on what feels most relevant to you and move forward at a pace that's right for you.
-
While some people join the program to prepare for themselves, many are supporting someone they love through the end-of-life planning process.
Whether you're helping someone organize important information, navigate difficult conversations, understand their wishes, or prepare for what's ahead, you don't have to carry that responsibility on your own.
We'll focus on your unique situation and the role you're playing, creating an approach that respects your loved one's values while also making space for your own needs throughout the process.
-
That's completely okay. You don't need to start from scratch to benefit from this program.
Many people already have some pieces in place—such as a will, advance healthcare directive, power of attorney, or other important documents—but still have questions, unfinished conversations, or areas that haven't been fully explored.
We'll begin by looking at what you've already done, identify any gaps or areas you'd like to strengthen, and focus on what feels most important to you. The goal isn't to start over—it's to build on what you already have in a way that reflects your values, wishes, and current circumstances.
-
My role isn't to tell you what decisions to make or take care of everything for you. Instead, I'll walk beside you, ask thoughtful questions, offer guidance, and provide practical tools to help you make informed decisions that reflect your values, wishes, and circumstances.
The most meaningful end-of-life plans are deeply personal. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, we'll work together to explore your options, identify what matters most to you, and create a path forward that feels authentic and manageable.
You'll never have to figure it out on your own—but you'll remain the one making the decisions and taking each meaningful step forward.
If what you're looking for is someone to take a more hands-on role in managing or coordinating the process, this program may not be the best fit. In that case, you may find it helpful to search the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance's Find a Doula directory, where you can explore practitioners by location and the services they offer.
-
That's a natural part of the process.
End-of-life planning often brings up emotions such as fear, grief, uncertainty, guilt, relief, or even unexpected moments of clarity. These feelings don't mean you're doing anything wrong—they're simply part of navigating important decisions and conversations.
While this isn't a therapy program, emotions are welcome here. We'll create space to acknowledge what comes up, explore how it may be influencing your decisions, and gently work through it together while continuing to move forward in a way that feels manageable and aligned with your values.
If, at any point, I believe additional support would be beneficial, I'll encourage you to connect with an appropriate qualified professional.
-
Not necessarily.
The eight-week program is designed to give you dedicated time, structure, and support to make meaningful progress. For many people, it's enough time to build a strong foundation, work through key decisions, and create a personalized plan that reflects their values and wishes.
However, everyone's circumstances are different. Depending on your situation, there may be areas you'd like to continue exploring after the program ends.
The goal isn't to rush through a checklist—it's to move forward thoughtfully and at a pace that works for you. If you'd benefit from additional support after the program, we'll discuss what that might look like together.
-
Yes. I work virtually with adults throughout the United States and am open to working with clients anywhere in the world, should our schedules align.
While my knowledge of California-specific end-of-life planning considerations is strongest, the coaching process itself is relevant wherever you live. Because legal, medical, financial, and administrative requirements can vary by state and country, I encourage clients to consult qualified professionals in their local area whenever guidance in those areas is needed.
Sessions are held via Zoom, and my current primary availability is during Pacific Time evening hours. During our complimentary 30-minute Discovery Call, we'll talk about your location, time zone, and any practical considerations to ensure the program is a good fit.
-
Once you book your complimentary 30-minute Discovery Call, you'll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and any details you need to prepare for our conversation.
During the call, we'll take the time to get to know one another, talk about your unique situation, explore what you're hoping to accomplish, and answer any questions you may have about the program.
If we both feel it's the right fit, we'll discuss the next steps and how to get started. If it isn't, that's completely okay too. My goal is for you to leave the conversation with greater clarity about what kind of support will best serve you, whether that's through this program or another resource.
