Testimonials

Orchid
My beloved husband had a beautiful death. Your presence at the end of his life was my lodestar, filled with your peace, calm, compassion, and wisdom. You were able to seamlessly compliment the services hospice provided. You were centered, accepting, and loving. You were my gift through a very painful and tender journey of several months

Deborah, San Francisco
