Rachel has a warm and comforting presence that helped my mother accept her passing. She provided space for everyone in my family to express their love to my mother and connect with her before she passed. Rachel gave my mom the courage and the space to express her feelings about the end of her life that she hadn't been able to before. She guided me and gave me the strength to say goodbye to my mother in a way that was comfortable to me. I shared moments of intense connection with my mother before her passing that I would not have had without Rachel's warmth, guidance, and support.

Rachel’s support and guidance was a truly invaluable gift to our family. In the final days of my mother’s life, she was able to bring us together and facilitate one of the most profound conversations we’ve ever had as a family, making it possible for us to express our love for each other and our feelings about the transition we were all facing. 

This conversation “gave permission” - as Rachel coached us - for my mother to pass emotionally at peace. Rachel brought not only a profound understanding of the dynamics of this transition but also an attunement to our emotional respective emotional needs.

I had the privilege of working with Rachel at Mather Pavilion a skilled care, community, Evanston, Illinois from 2005 to 2012.  She worked with residents and their families through the end-of-life process. I recall her expert work when residents were struggling with the changing landscape of end-of-life issues.  Loved ones often have differing opinions regarding philosophies of care. Rachel excelled in navigating the residents wishes and mediating with loved ones to ensure quality of life. Rachel will walk with you and your loved one on this journey with gentleness, respect, and compassion.  She will be there for you every step.
