An Aligned Path to Life Transitions
& End of Life Planning
There’s a tender balance between trust and control, and none of us knows how much time we have. That’s why it’s so important to pause, reflect on what matters most, and create plans that support both living fully now and being prepared for the end of life. I serve clients in person throughout Greater Los Angeles, Southern California, and Kansas City, and I also offer virtual services.
Together, we’ll be intentional, curious, and honest as we explore what truly matters. These conversations are some of the most meaningful we can have, and they’re often the ones we never get the chance to fully navigate. Let’s be intentional, get curious, dive deep, and create a plan together.
Have you been wondering?
When thinking about end of life planning, I’m not even sure what I don’t know…for either my loved ones or me
My loved one is hesitant to have death or end of life planning conversations. It’s hard to want to give up control.
How do I best honor my loved ones wishes? How will I know their perspectives and intentions? Will I live in regret if I’m not certain?
My loved one has said, well I’ll be dead, so it won’t really matter…
What does my loved one fear about death? What do I fear about death? How do these factor into one another?
Is there a fear in naming” the thing”, death, that feels fragile?
Why it Matters?
When you plan with intention, you and your loved ones feel peace of mind and clarity. Stories, values, and memories are preserved and shared. With deep care that reflects your wishes and maintains your autonomy, loved ones connect through meaningful conversations instead of confusion.
Why It’s Worth It
Planning ahead isn’t about expecting the worst or from fear, it’s about creating comfort, confidence, and connection for everyone involved. Soulmark offers:
Peace of Mind: knowing your wishes are honored
Clarity: simple checklists and clear guidance
Connection: meaningful conversations with loved ones
A Lasting Gift: your story, values, and love carried forward. Why not invest in the intentionality of what you leave behind?
Nicole Payton
End-of-Life Planner, certified death doula*, and hospice volunteerI’m drawn to people’s stories, to holding space for what’s real and raw, and to helping others feel less alone in the unknown spaces. What drives me most is the belief that when people feel truly seen, supported, and valued, meaningful life transitions and end of life conversations are possible. Let’s work together in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.
My lifelong curiosity helps me ask thoughtful questions; my professional background helps me bring structure, clarity, and process; and my personal losses help me meet people with genuine compassion.
