About Rebecca Churt

I've spent years sitting with people at the actual edge of life — in the last days and hours before and after death. What I've come to see, again and again, is a particular kind of fear: the fear people experience when they have no spiritual ground beneath them, no felt sense that something continues, that they are held by anything larger than their own biography or legacy. When that ground is missing, the end of life is met not with peace, but with the certainty that there is nothing on the other side of not-knowing.

I don't believe that's the only way it has to go.

My work sits in the in-between — the space our culture doesn't have a category or imagination for. The emotional and spiritual terrain that opens up when someone is dying, and that doesn't close when they die — the grief that starts long before someone dies, the questions of meaning that have nowhere to go.

I'm a certified end-of-life doula and grief guide. I trained with Megan Devine and Francis Weller, and I've built a practice that is conscious, embodied, trauma-sensitive, and unflinching about the ways our culture teaches us to suppress grief — the same systems that generate the grief in the first place.

Before this work, I spent years at the intersection of organizational leadership and spiritual inquiry: as Chief Creative Strategy Officer at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, and Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. I hold an MBA from MIT Sloan. I also founded The Grievery, dedicated to grief literacy and collective restoration.

I don't offer answers. I offer presence, companionship, reverence, and a place to lay hurt down long enough to remember that you too belong to the living world.

Where This Work Lives

Many people find themselves in a space that is not fully held by therapy, and not quite aligned with chaplaincy or organized religion. This is where this work lives—tending to the relational, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of death and grief in an integrated, holistic way.

It is especially supportive for those who are spiritually curious, or who don’t see themselves reflected in traditional frameworks — and for anyone open to exploring the possibility that death is a threshold.

Spiritual Care

Spiritual care tends the soul’s questions: What matters now? What remains unfinished? How do I meet this transition with courage, forgiveness, or peace?

I offer presence and companionship for those wrestling with meaning, mystery, and mortality. This support may look like guided reflection, meditation, breathing practices, ritual design, or simply sitting together with what is present. No single belief system is assumed or required. The focus is on what feels sacred to you and how your own inner knowing wants to lead. My role is to witness, to listen deeply, and to help you access resilience, grace, and connection in the spaces where words sometimes fail.

Grief Care

Grief care honors the invisible losses and the loud ones, the anticipatory ache before a death and the disorienting aftermath that follows. I create a space where nothing about your grief is too much, too strange, or too slow. Together we explore ways to integrate change, remember relationships with tenderness, and remain connected to what and who you love. Whether you are grieving a person, a future you imagined, or a part of yourself that has fallen away, you are welcome here. We move at the pace of your nervous system, trusting that grief is not something to get over but something to live with and slowly, consciously transform through companionship and care.

Why "spiritual" and not "religious"

Spiritual care, as I practice and offer it, has nothing to do with doctrine or dogma. No belief system is required, and none will be assumed. It's support for and a willingness to engage with the questions that surface near death — meaning, fear, identity, what continues — regardless of what you believe or don't believe.

How I fit alongside the rest of your care team

I focus entirely on grief and spiritual care. I don't handle advance directives, care coordination, or hands-on physical support — that's steady, essential work, and it's often being done by people I have a lot of respect for. Think of me as one more person on the team, there for the part that often gets the least time and attention: the emotional and spiritual weight of dying, for everyone it touches.
