Our Mission

OUR GUIDING PRInciples

Our Mission

To build trusted relationships, foster connection, through education, compassionate guidance, and meaningful experiences that honor the sacredness of every person, every story, and every journey. 


We aim to support individuals and circle of support, including caregivers and those seeking the assistance of a death doula, in supporting  informed decision making that reflect the individual's values, voice, beliefs, culture, and personal agency, particularly in the context of end-of-life education.  


OUR VISION

OUR GUIDING PRInciples

Our Mission

We envision a world where every moment of life is recognized as sacred and where conversations about mortality, grief, love legacy, and end-of-life planning are embraced as natural, meaningful, and essential parts of living. 


A world where the knowledge imparted by hospice and end-of-life education inspires deeper reflection, stronger relationships, greater empathy, compassionate care, thoughtful preparation, and enduring love legacies—so that every person can be seen, heard, honored, remembered, and live with intention by embracing the whole of life.

How Sacred Moments Support Individuals, Families, and Caregivers

Sacred Moments  assists healthy individuals with end-of-life planning by helping them explore what matters most, facilitating meaningful conversations, and creating comprehensive plans that reflect their values, beliefs, and wishes.


For those living with a serious or life-limiting illness, Donna walks alongside the individual and their circle of support. She provides serious illness companionship, education, compassionate presence, administrative support, advance care coordination and planning, legacy work, ritual creation, bedside vigils, and guidance about what to expect throughout the dying process.


After a Death, support continues through grief-informed care, memorial,  celebrations of life planning, and practical guidance.


Sacred Moments is there to bridge the gap that often exists during the end-of-life journey.  We offer sacred presence, education, advocacy, facilitation, coordination, and collaboration.  We work alongside healthcare professionals, hospice teams, and other members of an individual’s support circle.

Preparing you for What Matters Most

Sacred Moments supports individuals and families create their personalized, and comprehensive end-of-life plan, a living roadmap that evolves as life changes and supports the individual you love before, during, and after death.


Every conversation and service is tailored to the individual’s values, wishes, goals, relationships, culture, traditions, and beliefs, and honors their right to live and die on their own terms.  Sacred Moments supports the human experience of living, dying, grieving, and remembrance.


Together, we explore what matters most to you by clarifying your wishes, documenting your preferences, taking steps to preserve your voice, love legacy, and prepare your care partners for serious illness with guidance that reflects your values, beliefs, culture, traditions, and lived experience.


In addition to our personalized end-of-life planning services, Sacred Moments provides education through workshops, webinars, speaking engagements, and Sacred Moments: The Podcast on our YouTube Channel. 


We also offer celebrant services for living wakes, FUNerals, and services after death.

Why End-of-Life Planning Matters

Why End-of-Life Planning Matters

End-of-life planning encompasses much more than just preparing for death; it invites us to awaken to life. This process encourages living with greater intention, deepening our relationships, preserving our stories and wisdom, and making decisions that truly reflect what matters most to us. 


By taking the time to communicate your wishes and plan ahead, you ensure that your voice is heard, your values are honored, and your loved ones are supported. Utilizing celebrant services during this planning can further personalize your farewell and make your intentions clear. Planning in advance can significantly reduce stress, uncertainty, conflict, and unnecessary expenses during times of crisis. It not only saves your circle of support time and heartache but also gifts them the knowledge of your wishes and preferences, relieving them of the burden of making difficult decisions while they are grieving.


End-of-life planning, including the help of a serious illness companion, is a profound act of love that fosters a sense of peace today while assisting those you cherish tomorrow.
