Grief Walk
Nature is a grounding place. It is my longest friends, my deepest connection. It is a place of healing, acceptance, and deep listening. These walks are offered one-on-one or in a group setting on a nature trail in the west end of Toronto (I can also travel to you). These walks are a chance to talk through personal grief, grief of a loved one, anticipatory grief, delayed, collected, cumulative, masked, or absent grief with a trained, compassionate, end of life doula alongside your friends, companions, loved ones, or, simply the two of us within the listening trees. 1 hour walks, available for 1-5 people. $33

Death Education Talk
death can be an overwhelming experience. perhaps we may circle a fear of death or find it difficult to discuss or research. perhaps we aren't clear on our death rights, various forms of green burial, home-led funerals, anti-capitalist death care options, MAID, or queer death care. maybe we are interested in psychedelics at end of life, books and resources about death, or perhaps we just long to talk to someone about death in general. this is an opportunity to dive into an area that you need supported. talks are 1.5 hours and available via phone or zoom. $88

Vigil Sitting
when folks are in stages of dying, those surrounding them are often emotionally and physically exhausted. at times we may need someone present for support to alert us of the active stages of dying with grace, to act as a point of communication between care workers, family and friends, to offer moments of rest without worry, to monitor changes and offer non-medical care, to sit quietly in silence and still presence, to offer song or touch, to run errands. this is a 2 hour service. my first hour is free, the second hour is $55.

Family-led Green Funerals
many do not know that it is completely legal to guide and host family-led home ceremonies. together we help inform, develop, or fulfill the death care plan according to the individual or beloveds wishes. my care here is centred around- but not limited to- earth-centred, anti-capitalist, intentional & inclusive systems of care. we will plan and care for the deceased prior to green burial, create and guide a holistic home-based ceremony of honour, spirit, love and celebration, and connect with transfer services when the time is right. booking this service means you are selecting brooke to aid your family as your at-home funeral guide. This service ranges in price according to your needs and financial ability — it is important to me to make this work accessible whilst still being able to sustain myself and community in this practice. This can range from $333-777.

Full Service End-Of-Life Care
Offered to individuals with life-limiting illness and/or their loved ones, I offer my assistance in three month parcels of time, 3-12 hours a week. We move through end-of-life wishes, needs, and planning, extending into vigil and green funeral ceremonies. I offer bio-psycho-social-spiritual, legal, and ethical dimensions of care to accompany a dying person and their beloveds within their death experience. My care is personal, intentional, and consciously connected to the dying process both generally and specific to the individual. My care does not and should not take the place of palliative or medical care but instead, sit beside it in grace to help support and facilitate a more holistic, personalized, philosophical, spiritual, contemplative experience at end of life. I am in service of you and your loved ones and I will advocate for your needs. Some wish to hire me for multiple parcels of 3 months depending on illness and need. This service ranges in price according to your needs and financial ability — it is important to me to make this work accessible whilst still being able to sustain myself and community in this practice. This can range from $777-2222.
let’s work together.
If you’ve browsed my offerings and you are unsure which to choose, let’s start with a 20 minute free consultation chat. This is something I offer before every service so we can decide together if I am the doula for you. I am here to support your needs and every service is always flexible in order to do so.
