Who is this for...
This is for you if you’ve been putting off the conversation, feel overwhelmed by the options, or simply don’t know what questions to ask. It’s also for families where different members have different ideas and need a neutral third party to help sort it out.
What to Expect
Over 4 hours, Jacqueline will sit with you (in person, phone, or Zoom) and help you work through your thoughts. She’ll explain each type of service, what they cost, and what’s involved. By the end, you’ll have a clear direction and next steps — even if your final decision comes later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I really have no idea what I want?
That’s perfectly fine and very common. Jacqueline will ask you simple questions about your values, beliefs, and preferences to help you narrow down what feels right.
Can I bring my family to this consultation?
Absolutely. In fact, it’s encouraged. Having everyone on the same page early prevents disagreements later.
What if I change my mind after the consultation?
Your plan is not set in stone. You can adjust it anytime. The goal is to have a starting point so your family isn’t guessing if something happens.
