During my years as a care aide in residential care I was honoured to look after my residents in their final days and hours and know that I was able to give them comfort, compassion and dignity.
It is my hope that I can help people to care for their loved ones at home during such a sacred time.
Birth and Death are the two most meaningful events in life and it is my hope that I can facilitate a return to experiencing these last moments fully and with gratitude.

Eco-friendly Burial & Cremation Services
Memorial Trees and Beehives
Heritage Gardens was created to provide families—and communities— with affordable, sustainable, eco-friendly burial space. Our commitment is to serving the bereaved with dignity and compassion; preserving the natural beauty and integrity of the land; and producing outstanding memorials that capture the essence of the life lived.
As the only certified Green Burial site in Metro Vancouver, to us sustainability means growing and donating food on unused property; giving away honey from our beehives to the families who have lost a loved one, and standing with the Memorial Society and the Partners in Care Alliance, to enforce an ethical code of conduct when dealing with grieving families. To be sustainable, it must be affordable - which is why our prices are less than half of other Metro cemeteries.

I love being an end of life doula and supporting individuals and their families through this time. I offer comprehensive and compassionate doula care from the heart.
My passion for this work began many years ago with my first experience as a hospice volunteer. There I found true human connection in the raw and real moments I shared with others as I respectfully and humbly offered companionship and guidance like I continue to do with my clients today.
I offer considerate and experienced support for the times in life when illness, death or loss enter our reality.
My grounded presence helps those I work with to learn to navigate their way through these experiences, to find strength to make informed and empowered choices and to feel supported the entire way.

End of Life Designer
I help people design their Advanced Care and End of Life plans, and celebrate life transitions, using my training as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and Willow End of Life Educator.
My group workshops and one on one planning focuses on bridging the gap between Life Insurance, Wills, & Trusts and the personal details that often get left out or forgotten. When we learn more about death, dying and grief, and share our experiences, we become more death literate, therefore reducing the anxieties and fears about end-of-life. This understanding can help reduce fear and stress, and help us approach life, and death, experiences with honor and respect.
I'll help you create a plan that includes well thought out checklists, creative ideas to honor your wishes, and many necessary tools that you will need when faced with navigating the end of life process. From things as simple as sharing your passwords (does anyone else even know how to get into your phone?) to communicating how you'd like to be remembered.

As a Death Doula practicing soul midwifery, Andria demystifies physical death and educates, advocates and supports friends and their families as they prepare to transition from this life to the next, while experiencing the process of death, dying, loss and letting go. Her role includes preparation for passing, living memorial, funeral or celebration of life rituals, and consultation for planning before, during and after passage. Considered a soul companion, Andria bears witness to a friend’s crossing and allows for whatever needs to be expressed and experienced to manifest in miraculous ways. Opening conversation is the first step.

Life Cycle Celebrant & Sacred Passage Doula
Creating happiness amid bereavement is a high calling; one that speaks to me as a Life-Cycle Celebrant and an End of Life Doula. The passing of a loved one is difficult time in our life's dance. Sudden loss can be almost unbearable in its surprise; the death of an elder after a long life gives us time to say our good byes.
I am particularly skillful crafting sensitive ceremonies for children and loved ones who have died by suicide.
My life experience ensures my clients have a caring and compassionate partner as they navigate their end of life journey and plan a Celebrations of Life, consider home funerals, and address the many physical, emotional, spiritual concerns that arise during this time.

Ordained Metaphysical Minister,
Life-Cycle Celebrant
(Weddings, Celebrations of Life & Memorials)
The most difficult times in our lives are when we lose a loved one.
As a people admirer and enthusiast, my meaning and purpose in life is to provide space, empathy, personal integrity, and warmth for transformation through every single ceremony I craft.
When facing the farewell of a loved one, my mission is to be there by honouring and telling this person’s life story – truly and dearly sketching their soul - and how they will be remembered.
Instead of focusing on loss, “the end”, and “the unknown”, as I experienced with my own mother’s passing when I was 16, I see an importance in sending the bereaved off with comfort, light and hope.
Together we are painting an impactful picture of a loved one’s legacy to carry a piece of their soul with us – until the end of our days; leaving us with a grateful heart, knowing that we have been an important part of a life worthily lived.

Shawanda, which means "dawn of the day" in Ojibwa, is the largest metaphysical retail store in B.C. for volume, variety, and quality. Holly's metaphysical knowledge in all the health benefits is second to none and her crystals are handpicked direct from the country of origin.
Holly does not purchase at the large trade shows where corruption has found its way into the market tainting the energy of Gaia’s medicine.
The store front offers crystals and gems from every country and a visit to the store is sure to awaken the senses.
You will always feel better when you leave then when you arrived. “It is about the medicine and helping people heal through more natural processes.”

Knowing every life has a story that needs to be told and is significant, makes it my humble honour to walk this journey with you and your family to create a ceremony that is unique and reflects the true essence of your loved one. Meaningful funerals are personalized funerals that tell the life story of those who died, and represents your family’s beliefs and values.
A Celebration of Life or funeral is a gift to the person who died, and we include as many people as possible in the planning and activities. It is your chance to express the value of the life that was lived. If working with a Funeral Director, I can connect with them to ensure that our services are bridged together.
As an End-of-Life Doula, I assist, advise and inform, by offering physical, emotional, and spiritual support to the dying. I have been trained to empower, educate and encourage people and their families to be involved in making decisions during the impending process.
To many people, the word “doula” refers to a childbirth coach, but doulas are not only for when life begins — we are there when life is ending to ensure a beautiful transition.

End of Life Doula & Consultant
Approaching end of life, whether your own or that of someone close, often becomes completely overwhelming with all it entails. Fear, intense emotions, feelings of isolation and lack of peace of mind and calm leave people exhausted, stressed and traumatized.
Imagine being offered compassionate, unconditional support that makes you feel seen and understood. Imagine feeling safe and protected while you pause, absorb and process the magnitude of the situation. Imagine feeling calm and secure in moving forward with next steps.
Dying the Dream provides this support to those who have received a terminal diagnosis, those who are at their natural end of life and those who care for and about them.
Customized, affordable offerings and gentle guidance encompass end of life planning and preparation, bedside vigils to the actively dying, those who choose MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) and grief healing.
Become liberated and experience an enriched end of life, chock full of purpose and meaning, no matter how much time remains. This is truly dying the dream..
