thresh·old-ing:

/ˈTHreSHˌ(h)ōld/-ing
(verb)
To provide embodied witnessing in spaces of great transition; grounded accompaniment and support during a time of uncertainty, complexity and unprecedented change

My loved one is dying how can I support their end-of-life wishes?

How do I integrate these new, life-changing insights into my day to day life?

I'm ready for purpose and calling. How do I find work that I am passionate about?

It's what we do.

Navigating life at its bumpiest is tricky. Many who weather it gracefully often have a caring and attentive companion- a trusted partner on the road to clarity and closure, providing a supportive and empowering setting to successfully explore personal truths and insights.

We call this kind of sacred partnering “Thresholding.”

Thresholding is a blend of coaching, spiritual direction and embodied witnessing to help you ground and anchor in these important, yet often destabilizing, spaces.

What others are saying about their Thresholding experience...

"Leigh Ann, at Thresholding, was a very calming presence not only for our dying family member but also for our family care team. She provided insight, team bonding, and clear direction. Most importantly, she was the epitome of loving kindness and compassion. Leigh Ann’s referrals for finding key service providers and resources were spot on and her advice was solid. She was a great source of comfort to my dear friend and his family, and I am grateful to her for being there and for all the many ways in which having a Thresholding facilitator made a difference."

Bill- Estate Executor and Family Care Team Member

"Recently, I have had the pleasure of working in a group facilitated by Leigh Ann. I have been so impressed by Leigh Ann's skill in creating a space that feels safe. She sets you at ease immediately. She paces the meetings well so that there is time for all the things that need to be covered. Everyone is offered an opportunity to be heard. I have spent time in many meetings, especially remote meetings in the last year and a half, and these have been some of my favorite experiences to date. When the meeting is over, I feel heard, supported, and my mood is elevated. I am grateful for her leadership and the container she creates to hold space for us all."

Jess- End of Life Doula and Grief Professional

“During our loved one's final days, Leigh Ann’s skillfulness and presence created a container of assurance and calm proving invaluable. She helped our family care team transition from a doing mode to a quality of being that facilitated a more peaceful and loving transition for our family member. Dying well is possible with someone like Leigh Ann at Thresholding shepherding a tranquil empowering experience for all involved.”

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. ~ Dawna Markova

In a society that almost demands life at double time, speed and addictions numb us to our own experience. In such a society it is almost impossible to settle into our own bodies or stay connected with our hearts, let alone connect with one another or the earth where we live. ~ Jack Kornfield

Not causing harm requires staying awake. Part of staying awake is slowing down enough to notice what we say and do. The more we witness our emotional chain reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain. It becomes a way of life to stay awake, slow down, and notice. ~ Pema Chodron

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain
