Compassionate Accompaniment

How does the compassionate companion make a difference in the lives of those traversing transitions of living and dying?

With suitable accompaniment, we find comfort and connection, reduce stress and strengthen bonds in unusual, uncomfortable, challenging moments. A genuine compassionate presence provides a refuge of containment and support that foments mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, allowing us to face transition processes with easful naturalness, resilience and receptivity.
