Welcome to Soulstice

Let’s be honest, paperwork has a bad reputation. It piles up, hides in drawers, and always seems to multiply when you least expect it. For many people, paperwork is the #1 reason advanced care planning gets pushed off. Those forms aren’t just boring paperwork or another thing on your to-do list, they’re acts of love for your future self and your family, offering peace and confidence that your loved ones will be protected in life’s most difficult times. At SOULSTICE, I believe peace of mind is just as important as a tidy closet or a well-organized pantry. In fact, advanced care planning complements the home organization work I do, it’s all about clearing the clutter, both physical and emotional, so you can breathe easier. You’ve already tackled the hard parts of life, possibly raising families, managing households, showing up for others. With a little help, paperwork really can be the easy part. That’s where I come in.

If you caught my March blog post, “Future-Proofing Your Family: The Vital Role of Advanced Care Planning“, you know that planning ahead isn’t about doom and gloom,it’s about creating freedom for yourself and your loved ones. Nobody is ever fully “ready” to think about end-of-life care, but starting small makes all the difference. Begin with one document, like naming a health care proxy. Or simply start by having a conversation with someone you trust. Once you’ve broken the ice, the paperwork feels far less intimidating.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. As a death doula, I’m here to guide you through the process and yes, that includes taming the dreaded paperwork. One of the tools I offer is a Peace of Mind Planner, a simple, practical document that gathers your wishes in one place. Think of it as the ultimate “life file,” neatly organized and ready when it matters most.

So, if paperwork has been holding you back, consider this your permission slip to let someone else (hi, that’s me!) help you sort it out. Advanced care planning doesn’t have to be heavy, complicated, or overwhelming. With the right support, it becomes another act of love and organization, one that offers your family clarity, and gives you the calm reassurance that everything’s in its place.
