Compassionate, holistic support around death and dying.
Based in Madeira
Available remotely
Without the night, we cannot see the stars…
Reverie is a death doula practice. We support people who are dying, the families around them, and anyone grieving or facing their own mortality, online or in person on Madeira.
Death and dying are hard to face alone, wherever you are. Many of the people we support are far from the country they grew up in, navigating an unfamiliar healthcare and legal system at the exact moment they have the least capacity for it. Leila, our death doula, provides emotional, spiritual and practical support to help you plan for and embrace end-of-life and other transitions.
We can help you process loss, honour legacies, and accept impermanence with care, creativity and reverence, wherever you are in the world.
We are based on Madeira, an island the ancient Greeks believed to be Elysium, the Isles of the Blessed, where good souls went after death. It felt like the right place to help people face their own.
Not on Madeira? Our support is also available online, by video or phone, wherever you are in the world, including the UK.
More about usWe offer practical and compassionate support whether it's you or someone you know facing end-of-life decisions. This includes help connecting with clinicians and therapies to ease pain and suffering, death preparation, funeral and legacy planning and preparing family and friends. We also offer life review.
Explore planning and supportWhether or not you feel you are close to death, 1:1 sessions offer a judgement-free space to talk through your relationship with death. It can include the fear of dying (thanatophobia), life reflections, living funeral planning, and alternative spiritual perspectives on death. Group workshops will also be offered soon.
Explore living with mortalityDeath has become so toxic to our society that it is difficult to access appropriate support to process your experience. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, or a relationship, or an idea - endings are sacred. We provide space and support to process and integrate the end of one chapter, and allow the next chapter to form.
Explore grief and lossWe offer a different approach to death and dying, rooted in the sacred and in the ancient soil of Madeira, an island already mythologised as a destination for a blessed death. Through reflection, ritual and human connection, working alongside your clinicians, we help you approach the end of life with calm, grace and alignment.
