Palliative Care Services
Wendy Mauntel, Educational Outreach Director
The presence of complex, chronic health conditions or the journey through end-of-life care almost always involves deep emotional and physical pain for patients and family members. This can be compounded by the need to navigate through unfamiliar, impersonal heath care institutions. The goal of palliative care is to prevent or relieve suffering in response to serious health challenges or the end-of-life process.
While emotional and physical pain can be an ever-present reality, Great Lakes Sacred Essences believes that palliative care can bring a sense of sacredness to chronic illness and the end-of-life. Our essences and sprays allow patients and family members to embrace the rich gifts that emerge during such challenging times. Emotional and spiritual regrets are released, dysfunctional patterns are transformed, and heart-centered communication flows freely.
Great Lakes Sacred Essences products combine flower essences and aromatherapy oils to bring gentle, powerful support to chronic illness and end-of-life situations. One of the greatest strengths of flower essences in palliative care lies in their ability to facilitate communication at an emotional and spiritual level, bringing feelings of comfort and support during times of transition. When communication between the patient, family members, and health care workers is clear and free-flowing, fears and tensions are released and the journey is smooth.
We offer a variety of flexibly designed educational and support options for personalized service
Flower Essence Education Programs for Palliative Healthcare Professionals and
institutions:
I work with healthcare institutions to design professional development training for palliative care providers in the use of Great Lakes Sacred Essences products. Participants gain an understanding of how flower essences and aromatherapy work, the role of individual essences and oils in palliative care, and how to use them in the care setting to support the patient, family, and themselves.
Individual or Family Consult:
We offer individual and family consults to provide patients and family members with personalized care to meet their unique, individual needs.
The needs of each health care institution or family unit are unique. Please contact us for more information and fees.
