TESTIMONIALS

“When my father entered hospice care, where Amy was on his care team, I witnessed her extraordinary gift firsthand.

As our family navigated the profound and unfamiliar terrain of my father's final chapter, Amy showed up
as a steady, compassionate guide. During that uncertain and heartbreaking time, Amy visited him daily, holding space for our family with a calm and grounded presence that I will never forget. One day, Amy noticed subtle signs that his time was near. She called me immediately and urged me to
come to his side. Because of her knowledge, her attentiveness, and her deep care, I was there — holding my father's hand — when he passed.

Without her, I would have missed that sacred moment entirely. Amy has a rare and beautiful ability to bring stillness into the most difficult of rooms. She helped our family not only endure my father's death, but to meet it with grace, presence, and love.
If you or someone you love is facing the end of life, I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. She is not just skilled at what she does — she is called to it.”

“Amy was a compassionate, educational, and loving presence at my family's side as we said goodbye to both of my grandmothers (in 2015 and again in 2025).

 Over the weeks of slow decline, she talked us through what was happening, made suggestions on how we could make my grandmothers more comfortable, and held our hands both physically and emotionally through the whole process. 

Amy takes the time to get to know you and your family, and she checks in often to see how she can support you. She is genuinely interested in learning about your family and will laugh and cry alongside you as you recount memories. As my grandmothers were dying, she continued to see them as people and treat them with care, dignity, and respect. I honestly could not imagine a person better suited to this work. She walks into the room and you relax and smile, even in the most difficult moments. 

May we all be so lucky as to have someone like Amy (or Amy herself, preferably) at our side when it's our time.”

“I had the pleasure to witness Amy’s bedside manner during my time as the Executive Director of Heartland Hospice.  Amy embodies the word compassion and truly cares about not only the patient but the family as well.  I remember sitting bedside with Amy as we enrolled a patient into hospice services, and the patient’s daughter was visibly moved and thanked her multiple times. In Amy’s first interaction with this family member, she made such an impression, explaining hospice care thoroughly, with clarity and patience;  the patient’s daughter stated she found a friend.  This is one of many examples of the profound effect that Amy made on the families she served.”

"Amy is one of the most faithful support companions I've ever known. She will hold your hand, literally and emotionally, through the fires of hell and back. She will not judge. She will understand that you might not be at your best when you are in pain or grieving and give you grace. Amy uses her lived experiences to bring deep connection and empathy to any situation. If you are seeking long term recovery, and compassion in grief, she will support you in changing from the inside out, without shame or blame."
