Compassionate Support for the Dying and Their Families
Our birth and our death are the most common shared experiences we have as human beings. It is also among the most sacred life experiences. Yet, the end of life can be one of the most stressful seasons in a person’s journey. Whether you're preparing in advance or caring for someone in their final days, On Your Terms offers calm, compassionate guidance for individuals and families alike.
What is End-of-Life Consulting?
Led by Shannon Pearson, an end-of-life practitioner, end-of-life doula, and a former certified hospice and palliative care nurse, this service provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support throughout the dying process.
Shannon and OYT walks alongside you—offering clarity, presence, and peace—whether you're planning far ahead or facing urgent decisions in real time. OYT’s focus is on end of life planning, understanding loss, caregiver education, and associated health and wellness challenges.
What Makes this Support Unique?
As an End-of-Life practitioner and former hospice nurse, Shannon is uniquely trained to facilitate difficult conversations, create calm in chaos, and support you as you make choices aligned with your beliefs and values. She advocates for the person, not just the patient.
Whether you're navigating care in the home, at a hospice facility, or in the hospital, she offers grounded, holistic death care guidance every step of the way. This service is available in person and virtually across the U.S.
When my mother entered hospice care, we felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. It was a roller coaster. Having Shannon as our end-of-life doula changed everything. She brought calm, clarity, and compassion into our situation. She helped us to understand what was happening, prepare ourselves, and made sure we were supported every step of the way. Her presence was a gift during the hardest days of our lives.
I’ve worked with Shannon for over a decade. She helps to create a peaceful environment for the patient, facilitating meaningful conversations with the family, and offering caregiver education and support. Her work bridges the medical and the personal in a way that helps everyone feel more at ease.
Shannon and her team provided the end-of-life support our family didn’t know we needed. The compassion, guidance, and professionalism made a difficult time more meaningful and less frightening. We felt supported and empowered every step of the way. I can’t imagine going through this without them.
My biggest worry isn’t about myself—it was about what would happen to my two dogs, Roz and Pete. I had no family to help me. Shannon stepped in with compassion and professionalism to help me with this important task. She comforted me by finding a way to keep my dogs with me, but also helped me find a loving adoptive home for my dogs after I’m gone. Knowing they’d be safe and cared for gives me true peace.
Support for the Dying and Their Loved Ones
End-of-life care is about more than medicine. It’s about dignity, connection, and knowing your wishes are respected. Shannon provides gentle, personalized support for the dying, as well as steady, nonjudgmental support for families navigating grief, logistics, and uncertainty.
