Sacred Grove 

My name is Kristi McCreadie and I am an End of Life Doula, Spiritual Counsellor and Grief Care Companion providing holistic wraparound services for those navigating the end of life journey. I walk alongside individuals and families from the moment of a terminal diagnosis through to post-loss grief care. My mission is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel heard, honored, and held during life’s most vulnerable transition.

 

My Approach

 

I blend professional training with deep empathy and compassion for those experiencing the end of life journey and transition. I practice the companioning model of grief care that focuses on being present and compassionate with the bereaved, rather than trying to fix or resolve their grief. It emphasizes listening, observing, and creating a safe space for the terminally ill and their loved ones to share their stories and experience their grief in emotionally healthy ways. 

 

Holistic Care: 

 

I believe that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. I draw on therapeutic modalities such as mindfulness practices and ceremony and ritual work to foster healing through grief on all levels. Holistic grief care acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit and offers a comprehensive approach to healing after loss and I utilize strategies that address emotional, physical, and spiritual needs and help promote healing. 

 

Nature-Based Support:

 

Connecting with nature can be a powerful way to honor loved ones and find solace during grief. Nature offers a sanctuary for reflection, a chance to connect with the natural world, and a way to remember and honor those who have passed away. Through activities like nature walks, creating memorial gardens, and outdoor remembrance ceremonies  I help guide you into a sense of comfort and peace during and after the loss of a loved one.

 

All-Inclusive Assistance:

 

From practical planning and emotional support at end of life to bereavement counseling and grief processing, I provide coordination of resources and advocacy for your loved ones needs in medical, legal, and community settings during this very challenging phase of transition at the end of life.

Why I Do This Work

 

I have witnessed first hand the profound impact of a dedicated and  compassionate professional presence during life’s final chapter and as an end of life doula and grief care companion, I have seen how ceremony, storytelling, and mindful practices can transform fear and isolation into connection and meaning. It is an honor to guide you and your loved one through these end of life transitions.
