Trauma does not stay in the past simply because an event is over. Your brain remembers what overwhelmed you, and your body will continue responding to that memory long after you are physically safe. Sometimes it responds in a positive way, other times in a debilitating way. The science behind it, and how your brain can store the memories of trauma in your grey matter, long term, is absolutely fascinating.

This matters deeply in life healing yes, but also in death and dying. As someone approaches the end of life, old trauma can surface through fear, agitation, resistance to touch, difficulty surrendering control, or reactions that seem disconnected from what is happening in the room. The body may be responding to something it learned years ago.

Part of trauma-informed end-of-life care is understanding that behaviour is communication. Instead of asking, “Why are they acting this way?” we can ask, “What is their nervous system trying to protect them from?” We cannot change what happened, but we can change what the body experiences now. Safety, choice, consent, predictability and being truly witnessed can create a very different experience at the end of life. When the body understands that it does not have to fight anymore, is when it can truly start to heal, even if that is while someone is dying.

Lately I have been seeing rainbows almost every single day. They are one of the clearest examples of how things exist around us long before we are able to see them, sometimes we never see them. The colours of a rainbow do not suddenly appear out of nowhere. The frequencies were already present within the light. Water simply creates the conditions that allow what was invisible to become visible.

Spirit communicates with us in the same way. Spirit does not always need to create something new to get our attention. It can work through what is already around us, using light, water, animals, songs, numbers, timing and synchronicities to bring something into our awareness at exactly the moment we are able to receive it.

Our own bodies work this way too. We are mostly water, and our emotions carry energy and frequency. When our awareness shines into that emotional water, things that have been sitting beneath the surface become visible. Grief. Love. Intuition. Memory. Connection. The parts of ourselves we could feel but could not yet name.

This is why I pay attention when nature behaves in a way that makes me stop. A rainbow at the right moment is more than something beautiful in the sky. It is light interacting with water and revealing what our eyes could not see before. Spirit uses the physical world in the same way, making the invisible visible long enough for us to notice.

The frequency was already there. You were simply given a moment where you could finally see it.

Dying is deeply personal, and the space surrounding someone at the end of their life matters. Creating space for a vigil, to labour someone out of life, is one of the most important atmospheres you can create and work in.

A room can hold a bed, but sacred space holds the person, memories, love. Their fears, comfort, personality and the life they have lived all belong there too.

Creating intentional space bedside, is not about making death beautiful or perfect though this can happen and does often. It is about making the environment feel like theirs. Familiar music, photographs, meaningful objects, softer lighting, favourite blankets, familiar scents or simply the presence of the people they trust can completely change how a space feels.

As a death doula, part of my work is helping families understand that the environment around a dying person can be cared for too. We soften what feels clinical, protect dignity, honour comfort needs and create space for whatever this final chapter needs to hold.

When someone is leaving this life, they deserve more than somewhere to die. They deserve to be surrounded by a space that holds them in a love they recognize and feel safe in.

Death is one of the few experiences every single one of us will have, yet we spend so much of our lives avoiding conversation about it. We wait until death enters the room before we begin trying to understand what it means to die, what choices we have and what we actually want.

As a Death Doula, part of my work is making death familiar before it becomes personal. Talking about death does not invite it closer. It gives us the opportunity to understand it while we still have the space to think, ask questions and become comfortable with something our culture has taught us to fear.

The more familiar we become with death, the less power the unknown holds over us. Death education belongs in life, not only at the end of it.

One of the biggest lessons in death doula work is learning that we are not there to save anyone. We are there to support. To listen. To advocate when needed. To help create comfort, dignity and choice. To sit beside someone without needing to change what is happening or make their experience easier for ourselves.

There is a lot of power in simply being able to stay. At the end of life, people do not always need another person trying to fix something. Sometimes they need someone who can sit in the reality of what is happening and not turn away.

That is the work. Presence over fixing. Support over saving. Walking beside, never taking over.

Manifestation is not simply thinking positively and hoping something happens. It is the process of becoming energetically aligned with the reality you intend to experience.

Your thoughts create an energetic signal, but emotion gives that signal power. When a clear intention is paired with an elevated emotion such as gratitude, love, abundance, freedom, joy or certainty, you stop energetically rehearsing the life you are trying to leave and begin rehearsing the life you are ready to enter.

This is why feeling matters so much. You cannot repeatedly live in fear, scarcity, resentment or expectation of disappointment while trying to manifest something completely different. Your body becomes conditioned to the emotional patterns you repeatedly practice. If you want a new reality, you have to teach your body the energy of that reality before the physical evidence arrives.

You do this by closing your eyes, removing your attention from your current circumstances and becoming deeply present with what you are calling in. See it clearly. Feel yourself already living it. Feel the relief, gratitude, excitement, peace or certainty that would exist if it were already yours. Stay with that feeling long enough that your body begins responding to the future you are imagining as though it is happening now.

Then release the obsession with how and when it will happen.

Your job is to become energetically coherent with what you are asking for, not to control every step that brings it to you. Clear intention tells the universe where you are going. Elevated emotion tells the universe that you are ready to receive it.

Manifestation begins when you stop waiting for your external world to change how you feel, and instead change how you feel so deeply that your external world begins responding to who you have become.

Survival mode is when you need to survive. It gets you through the things you didn’t think you could get through. It keeps you moving when you need to.

mode was never meant to become your permanent state. When your body has spent too long preparing for the next problem, the next loss, the next emergency or the next thing you need to handle, it can forget what actually feels like. When you ruminate over what happened it's the same thing.

You can be completely safe and still be on edge. Finally having time to rest but no idea how to actually do so. You feel guilty when you slow down, uncomfortable when things are quiet and when there is nothing immediately wrong.

Sometimes the work isn’t learning how to be stronger. You already learned how to survive. The work is teaching your body that it doesn’t have to survive every single day.

🤍🌙Following the Moon & Processing Grief🌙🤍

A four-week virtual series where we will use the changing phases of the moon to work through our grief, big emotions, forgiveness, identity, and the parts of our lives we are ready to carry forward or let go surrounding loss.

We begin August 28th on the Full Moon, starting with the fullness of grief itself. Not trying to fix it. Not rushing to move past it. Learning how to actually sit with what is there and give it somewhere to go.

Over the four weeks, we will move together through:

• Full Moon: Acknowledging the fullness of the feeling
• Waning Moon: Regrets & forgiveness
• New Moon: Who am I?
• Waxing Moon: What do I keep? Where do I let go?

We meet every Friday and Monday evenings at 8:00 PM EST on Zoom, for a total of eight classes.

The full series is $80, or you can join individual classes for $10 each IF space is available. E-transfer only. [email protected]

You do not need to be newly grieving to join us. Your can be grieving anything: death, change, relationships, losing the life you thought you would have, or simply realizing that something in your life has ended and you are still carrying it.

This is a place to actually work with those feelings instead of being told to get over them.

8 classes. 4 weeks. $80 for the full series. $10 drop-in classes.

We begin under the Full Moon on August 28th.

🌕 Space is limited. Send me a message to register or e-transfer.
