MORE ABOUT 
CONSCIOUS LIVING AND DYING COACHING

Some end-of-life education coaching focuses on individuals who are currently living with a life-threatening illness or a family member who has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

​Conscious dying coaches also support those who are grieving the death of another person, a pet, or a substantial loss in their life (marriage, job, relationship, financial, or physical).  Conscious dying coaching is an awakening, evolving process.

Caritas-trained conscious dying coaches create a wisdom-based healing culture. We are dedicated to restoring death to its sacred place in the beauty, mystery, and celebration of life. Conscious dying coaches aren't just for those who have received a critical or terminal diagnosis. "Conscious dying" is for everyone interested in recognizing the most sacred and natural part of life: the end of it.  Through recognizing our own mortality, we can create a deep and rich life NOW.  

A conscious dying coach helps clients and their loved ones imagine a greater possibility beyond advance directives, medical, technical, and curative care, and then supports them in achieving conscious end-of-life care planning. An effective end-of-life coaching relationship empowers us all to encounter life fully through the end.

Conscious dying coaching is a conversational and relational journey, a discovery process that opens our awareness and expands our choices, focusing our attention, hearts, minds, and actions on what matters most in a whole-life perspective. It is attentive to the multiple wisdoms of the body, psyche, and soul. It places primary importance on an intuitive wholeness of living and dying.

In conscious dying coaching, a vision of new possibilities for life is created with clear goals that are achievable and client-centered, followed by small attainable action steps that help connect the present to the future. Conscious dying coaching helps you get from an unsatisfying current reality to a life-fulfilling vision of the future.

Conscious dying coaching is compassionate, behavior-based, and action-oriented. The discovery and exploration is vital, and end-of-life priorities happen whenever there’s a focus on desired outcomes and action steps moving forward. Conscious dying coaches are trained on how to use a proprietary vision-mapping tool to support this explorative planning process.

When we befriend death, we actually begin to live more fully and openly. Many people find it hard to talk about critical illness and dying, leaving conversations and life priorities unsaid and unexplored. Skillful end-of-life coaching opens up conversations about how to live more intentionally and how to die more consciously. 

A conscious dying coach encourages, supports, offers respect, openness, compassion, empathy, and holds a rigorous commitment to speaking the truth. A  conscious dying coach also holds and supports those already facing end-of-life to demystify the stages of the dying process, realize the disillusionment of form to formlessness inherent in the dying process, and allows space to identify and implement their deepest heart’s desires within their remaining time on earth so that what matters most comes into being.
