The presence of complex, chronic health conditions or the journey through end-of-life care almost always involves deep emotional and physical pain for patients and family members. This can be compounded by the need to navigate through unfamiliar, impersonal heath care institutions. The goal of palliative care is to prevent or relieve suffering experienced by people living with serious, on-going challenges or moving through the end-of-life process.

While emotional and physical pain is an ever-present reality, I believe that palliative care can bring a sense of sacredness to chronic illness or the end-of-life journey. With the right tools and support, patients and family members can embrace a richness of gifts that emerge during such challenging times. Emotional and spiritual regrets can be released, dysfunctional patterns can be transformed, and heart-centered communication can flow freely.

As a palliative care provider, I assess the given situation and guide my clients into a space of peace and wholeness. The primary tool I use in this process is Great Lakes Sacred Essences. These products, which combine flower essences and aromatherapy products, bring gentle, powerful support to chronic illness and end-of-life situations. One of the greatest strengths of flower essences in palliative care lies in their ability to facilitate communication at an emotional and spiritual level, bringing feelings of comfort and support during times of transition. When communication between the patient, family members, and health care workers is clear and free-flowing, fears and tensions are released and the journey is smooth.

I offer a variety of educational and support options that can be flexibly designed for personalized service.

Flower Essence Education Programs for Palliative Healthcare Professionals and institutions:

I work with healthcare institutions to design professional development training for palliative care providers in the use of Great Lakes Sacred Essences products. Participants gain an understanding of how flower essences and aromatherapy work, the role of individual essences and oils in palliative care, and how to use them in the care setting to support the patient, family, and themselves.

Fee - The needs of each health care institution are unique. Please contact me for more information and fees.

I offer individual and family consults to provide patients and family members with personalized care to meet their unique palliative care needs. Consults can take place in the home or health care institution.

Fee- $125.00 per 1 ½ hour session

Each session includes a personal flower essence made for the patient’s specific needs along with education and support for family members on when and how to use the flower essences throughout the palliative care process.
