Live, Love & Leave Well.
— Kate Riley
About Me
I am a certified death midwife, minister, international story consultant, author and educator and am available for end-of-life planning and transitions. I serve as a liaison for individuals facing end-of-life decisions, working with their families and medical teams in providing a whole person-centered approach.
“Determination, courage, genius, and foolishness appear
simultaneously when we care deeply about something.”
— Margaret Wheatley
My Intention
To introduce new ways of living fully into dying. Assisting individuals/groups customize an individual plan that is uniquely created to fit each person, based on their values and beliefs.
My Mission
To serve those who wish to have agency over their own healthcare decisions. To help individuals plan for end-of-life, ahead of time, by introducing the necessary paperwork and addressing key end-of-life issues.
My Vision
To shift into a brand-new paradigm where dying becomes an integral part of life. Developing a cultural belief system whereby individuals maintain autonomy and agency over life and death decisions.
“As an astute student of life, I weave my lifespan of experiences, professional work and art directly into the fabric of the human experience. Embracing life’s chaos and conflict, as well as its beauty and grace, allows for joy, vulnerability and the opportunity to speak truth, in both our living and dying.
Imagine . . . living, loving and leaving well.”
