Rhonda LoPresti

As an End of Life Coach, Rhonda honors and supports clients in holding and creating sacred space, personal ritual, spiritual practice, and creative choices through dying and deathcare. She believes we can learn to die and in learning to die we actually awaken to life itself. In serving the dying and grieving, she favors conversations in the art of saying good-bye, exploring what death asks of us and deserves, how to prepare oneself consciously for the dying process, the compassionate merits of home family directed funerals, green burial awareness, and the welcoming and witnessing of grief.

Grief is a deeply personal journey. It deserves a limitless exploration to breathe, be expressed, and to be given movement. Lori’s commitment to bringing greater awareness to and literacy around loss and grief has created the opportunity to work with individuals, families, and communities to reshape their loss to empower their future. It is the light that guides Hand Holders.

Lori’s unwavering belief in the beauty of community, connection, and compassion enhanced by her personal experience with loss is what led her to serve others as a death doula, grief specialist, and advocate for growth. She is an INELDA-trained End of Life Doula and has her professional coaching credential (PCC) with the ICF as an End of Life and Grief Coach. She has the privilege of serving as a Healing Hearts Bereavement Coordinator and Facilitator for MIB Agents, a leading pediatric osteosarcoma nonprofit organization, by conducting one-on-one work with bereaved parents, support group sessions, wellness workshops, and retreats for parents and siblings of OsteoAngels. Additionally, she leads support groups and workshops for the Fanconi Cancer Foundation, a leading nonprofit organization improving the lives of those affected by Fanconi anemia and associated cancers worldwide.
