Mortality Wellness

A practice of presence, meaning, and conscious living

Mortality Wellness is an invitation to build a healthy, life-affirming relationship with the reality that we will die.

Rather than avoiding death or approaching it only in moments of crisis, this work gently brings mortality into awareness as a guide—clarifying what matters, softening fear, and deepening our capacity to live fully now.

Through one-on-one sessions, reflection, and an evidence-informed assessment, Mortality Wellness supports you in understanding your unique relationship to death and dying—and transforming fear into presence, agency, and meaning.

This is not about fixing you.
It is about learning to be with what is true—with courage, tenderness, and choice.

What Is Mortality Wellness?

Mortality Wellness is a contemplative and practical approach to wellbeing that recognizes death awareness as essential to living well.

When we befriend mortality, we often experience:

• Greater clarity around priorities and values

• Reduced anxiety and existential overwhelm

• More honest relationships and communication

• A deeper sense of aliveness, gratitude, and meaning

• Increased resilience in the face of uncertainty and change

This work meets you wherever you are—whether death feels distant and abstract, quietly unsettling, or urgently present in your life.

The Mortality Wellness Assessment

Mapping the landscape of fear and meaning

At the heart of this work is a reflective assessment that explores eight core categories of death and dying—areas where fear, avoidance, or unfinished emotional material often live beneath the surface.

These categories may include experiences such as:

• Loss of control

• Pain or suffering

• Loss of identity or autonomy

• Separation and grief

• The unknown

• Impact on loved ones

• Meaning, legacy, and unfinished life

• The process of dying itself

The assessment helps us identify which aspects of mortality are most activating for you, offering a clear and compassionate map of where attention, care, and inquiry are most needed.

Rather than labeling or diagnosing, this map becomes a doorway—guiding our work together with precision and respect for your inner world.

One-on-One Mortality Wellness Sessions

I work individually with clients to gently explore their relationship with mortality and support the integration of this awareness into daily life.

Sessions may include:

• Guided reflection and inquiry

• Somatic and nervous-system-aware practices

• Meaning-making and values clarification

• Ritual, imagination, and symbolic work

• Conversations about death, dying, and living that are rarely held elsewhere

Together, we build capacity rather than avoidance, helping you stay present with difficult truths while discovering new freedom, perspective, and vitality.

This work is appropriate whether you are:

• Navigating anxiety, grief, or existential fear

• Facing major life transitions

• Caring for aging or dying loved ones

• Seeking deeper meaning and alignment

• Simply wanting to live with more honesty and intention

How This Work Is Different

Mortality Wellness is not crisis intervention, therapy, or end-of-life planning—though it may gently touch all of these domains.

It is a relational practice:
a way of learning how you meet impermanence, and how that meeting shapes your life.

Rather than pushing fear away, we listen to it.
Rather than rushing toward answers, we cultivate presence.
Rather than waiting for the end, we let mortality inform how we live now.

An Invitation

You do not need to be unafraid of death to do this work.
You only need curiosity and willingness.

Mortality Wellness offers a space to slow down, speak honestly, and reconnect with what matters most—held with care, depth, and respect for the mystery of being alive.

Specialties

Grief Processing: Emotionally and mentally working through the feelings of loss, sadness, and other emotions that come with the death of a loved one or the loss of something significant. It is a natural and normal part of the grieving process, and can involve a range of emotions and psychological experiences. We build practices and everyday rituals to support the process.

Life Transitions: By creating a safe and supportive environment for processing emotions and experiences, individuals identify and understand their feelings, develop coping strategies to manage stress, provide guidance and receive support as they navigate these challenges. Self-care and grounding practices promote overall well-being.

Death Anxiety: Fear or unease about death and the unknown aspects of existence that come with it. This type of anxiety is a normal part of the human experience, but if it becomes overwhelming or affecting relationships it is best to be supported.

Death anxiety can manifest in various ways, including fear of physical death, fear of the unknown, fear of leaving loved ones behind, and fear of the loss of personal identity. This anxiety can also impact an individual's quality of life, leading to feelings of hopelessness, depression, and a sense of meaninglessness.

Climate or Eco-anxiety: The chronic fear or dread experienced in response to environmental degradation, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and other ecological crises. Through connecting to your own mortality, you can align your values to your actions with a grounded sense of purpose.

Ancestral Healing: Ancestral healing is a process of connecting with one's ancestral lineage and addressing the intergenerational trauma that may have been passed down. This process can help individuals understand and heal from these emotional and psychological impacts.
