My practice is now palliative/end of life care only.  Please email inquiries to michelle@michellesuzannescott.ca for further information & to set up a free 15 minute consultation.

Palliative and End of Life care & support is an integral part of people living at the end of their lives and their families often need help navigating through what may seem an overwhelming process.  I advocate for the needs of the person with a life limiting illness.

Although everyone will die, it tends to be something we don’t talk about or openly acknowledge.  For people at the end of their life, there are somewhat predictable stages, like labour during childbirth, including mind, body, and spirit/soul.  Family & friends may wish to help their dying loved create a legacy and sit vigil with them.  These are the areas where a doula is helpful in guiding and providing suggestions. 

See my guide https://www.michellesuzannescott.ca/end-of-life-info-guide-for-friends-families/  for more information.  

I utilize virtual sessions (Google Teams, a confidential platform) and in-home palliative visits offering psychoeducational tools & strategies.

Continuing Bonds Theory is a modality I prefer, together with a trauma-informed approach.  Mindfulness helps cultivate self-awareness and self-acceptance.  Focusing on the present moment with compassion and understanding is the goal of care. 

Rates are $75/session plus HST.
