Testimonials

"Michelle has helped me learn to relax and to deal with my pain along with the stress of actively dying. She has made such a difference in the quality of my life thru meditation, massage and Reiki applications. 

By putting my mind at ease and removing massive amounts of stress, Michelle has given me back the ability to face each day without  the fear of the unknown. She has relieved pressure I wasn't even aware of having and now I actually look forward to each day no matter what happens."

"In the final month of our Mom's life, we felt so cared for by Michelle. For us, it was important to witness her last days, and Michelle facilitated that wonderfully. She gave Mom a massage, read to her, and advocated for her with the nurses, but more than that, she helped us stay in the moment to really be there with Mom at the end, teaching us rituals and meditations for grounding. It was a beautiful gift, and we're very grateful for Michelle's care."

"I have experienced Barbara’s caring and nurturing style as she guided me through loss. Her background in health services is extensive and enables her to understand symptoms and outcomes of various medical situations. With a calm and sincere demeanor she will guide her clients to accept and understand what is happening at the end of life."

"I have had the wonderful privilege over the past 20 years of knowing and working with Michelle McKillop in several different capacities. She was the Crisis Intervention Training Coordinator at a large social service agency and together we trained crisis counselors and were co-therapists in several out-patient therapy groups. I can wholeheartedly attest that Michelle has excellent teaching, communication and administrative skills. As a counselor and co-therapist, she is highly knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated and deeply compassionate. I believe any family faced with a terminal illness would be more than blessed to work with her as their End-of-Life Doula."
