Support for You and Your Dog at the End of Life
“Coming November 2026 — inquiries are now welcome”
The bond we share with a beloved dog can be one of the deepest relationships of our lives. When a dog becomes elderly or seriously ill, we may suddenly find ourselves facing extraordinarily difficult questions: Is my dog suffering? How will I know when it is time? Am I making the right decision? How do I prepare myself to say goodbye?
And then, after our dog has died, we are left to find our way through a grief that can be profound and sometimes difficult for others to fully understand.
I am currently completing additional training in animal communication and animal death doula care to deepen and refine this work.
My role is not to make the decision for you, but to accompany you through it—to help you slow down, listen deeply, work with the emotions that arise, and remain connected to your dog during this tender time.
Depending on your needs, our sessions may include:
Emotional support as you face your dog's aging, illness or approaching death
Mindfulness and grounding practices to help you remain present
Support as you explore difficult end-of-life and euthanasia decisions
Animal communication, offered as an intuitive and reflective way of connecting with your dog
Guidance in creating a peaceful and meaningful goodbye
Recommendations for flower remedies that may gently support both guardian and dog
Grief support following your dog's passing
Ritual, remembrance and ways of honoring the continuing bond with your dog
A Single Support Session
A single consultation can be helpful if you are facing an immediate decision, your dog is nearing the end of life, or you simply need a compassionate person with whom to explore what you and your dog are experiencing.
You do not need to commit to ongoing sessions.
Having support Through the Goodbye
For guardians who know that they are entering the final chapter of life with their dog, I offer a four-session journey that allows me to accompany you over time.
The sessions might unfold in this way:
Session One — When You Begin to Wonder
When you first sense that your dog's life may be approaching its final chapter, we create space for your fears, questions and observations and explore how you can be deeply present with your dog.
Session Two — Facing the Decision
If the question of euthanasia arises, I support you emotionally as you consider your dog's quality of life and what a compassionate goodbye might look like. Veterinary decisions remain between you and your veterinarian; my role is to help you navigate the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the decision.
Session Three — After the Goodbye
Following your dog's passing, we make space for the immediate grief, the absence you may feel in your home and daily life, and the many emotions that can accompany the loss of such an important relationship.
Session Four — Integrating the Loss
As some time passes, we explore remembrance, meaning and the continuing bond with your dog, while gently supporting you as you begin to move forward without leaving the relationship behind.
The timing of these sessions is flexible. End-of-life journeys rarely follow a schedule, and the sessions can be adapted according to what is happening with you and your dog.
Private sessions will be available beginning in November 2026.
I work with clients worldwide via Zoom and offer in-person sessions in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
If you know that your dog is entering the later stages of life and would like to learn more about working together, you are welcome to contact me now.
This work is complementary to, and never a substitute for, veterinary care. I do not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or make euthanasia decisions. Medical and quality-of-life concerns should always be discussed with your veterinarian.
