As a nurse for over 30 years, I have witnessed and have been personally affected by the depersonalization and degradation of care in the healthcare and death care systems. The apathy and lack of compassion I've observed by those providing "care" has been alarming.

​

The medicalization and encroachment of technology has had unforeseen and devastating consequences on our society. The sacred has been removed from care during life and death. It is my belief that we, as a collective people, are headed for the abyss-losing our humanity—unless things change.

​

Nearly 13 years ago, I participated in Urban Zen Integrative Therapy's year-long training program. It deepened my skills in meaningful ways—and it also revealed gaps in what I knew my own approach to comfort care needed to include.

 

Through the years, I added modalities and approaches—those that I felt essential to sacred support and comfort care. All of this training, experience, refinement and deepening ultimately became the foundation that birthed Sacred Comfort Care. 

​

For me, this is more than a natural approach to care. It is an invitation to restore what is lost in task-driven systems: tenderness, dignity, and sacred presence. Even in a technological age, we can choose care that is personal, human, and deeply compassionate. 

​

I hope you will join me on this journey...   Jacki
