In recent years I have done extensive consulting work with Hospice, offering my assistance to the terminally ill and aged who are in the final stages of preparing to cross over. Each person has been my teacher, and I have been blessed to know and learn from each and every one. Over time, as I experienced their unique journey, my understanding of the death process deepened and my gifts as a healer expanded.

Believe it or not, dying is hard work! While there is still so much we do not know, from my experience it appears to be a journey full of many transitions above and beyond the physical world that we are most familiar with. At its core essence, Transitional Healing assists and supports those who are going through the dying process. In the first stage of healing it is all about comfort care. I act as a conduit bringing through the necessary healing energies to provide the person with a sense of comfort and peace. In the second stage, I work with the person’s energetic body, a field of energy that surrounds and supports each and every one of us. It is this energetic body that is connected to the physical body, so by working on one – the other is worked on as well. This is the key component of Transitional Healing, because it is this energetic connection that has been forgotten and overlooked for far too long. Working with the energetic body lightens the physical body, thereby making it less dense so that the person does not have to work as hard at letting go of this world.

The above describes one form of one-on-one Transitional Healing, but depending upon the circumstances depends upon the form the healing process will take. A few months ago I had the most profound experience. I was called to the hospital to assist someone actively dying. Upon arrival I discovered that the entire family, almost 20 people, was in the room in a semicircle around the person’s bed. I was a bit taken aback as I had never walked into a situation like this before. However, I followed my inner guidance which led me to stand on the far left side of the bed so that I was the first person in the semicircle. I then simply “held space”, which to those in the room looked like I was doing some form of meditative prayer.

When the time was right, I then began to bring in and ground healing energy into the room. As I did so, I started to notice a gold thread of light that began to circle the room passing through and connecting everyone’s heart including the family member about to cross. Visually this created a complete circle that was held in place for nearly an hour and brought a great deal of healing and closure to those present. For me, it was the most powerful experience I had ever had while doing this work. The family member crossed shortly thereafter.

Dying is a natural process of life and we need to speak about, understand and honor Death. Our culture does not speak of this, as those ways have been long forgotten – giving way to fear and denial and the loss of not knowing.

I see Transitional Healing as being more than just a bridge of life unto death. I see this work as a “BRIDGE of LIGHT” to help, heal and bring understanding to everyone that experiences and witnesses the dying process. This not only includes family members, friends, co-workers, and caregivers, but anyone else that may be suffering from a tragic loss. Most people do not have a conscious awareness of the energetic connection they have with other people. When someone dies, that cord is still there but it is no longer attached to the other person. This is part of that “void inside of me” or “black hole” feeling that many describe after the passing of a loved one. That hole needs to be filled with light, so that the relationship is complete. Once that is accomplished, the person can start to rebuild that area of their life with grace and love.

Over the years I have developed a passion for this work and the comfort and healing I have seen it provide people. By creating this site I want to share not only my experiences, but to also reach out to others who may be called to do this work - for we are all so needed at this time.
