June Reilly Fitzpatrick, RN has created a new business, Peaceful Presence, to assist people as they prepare for end of life with holistic support, dignity and compassion.  A 30-year career as a critical care nurse, training as a certified end of life doula with advanced mentorship and as a palliative care educator, June has dedicated her life to helping people live and die per their wishes, with as much comfort and peace as possible.

At at time in life that can be confusing, overwhelming, lonely and difficult to navigate, June helps people through education, advocacy, mentorship and practical hands-on training.

Serving people with advanced, chronic, progressive illnesses and end of life care, June assists in enhancing quality of life and making a positive influence on the course of one’s illness. She empowers people to live and die as they choose while being supported with acceptance and compassion.

As a patient advocate, June helps bridge the gap  between patient and medical professionals.  She answers questions about a diagnosis, clarifies medications, and explains the whole picture in “non-medical” jargon.  As a palliative care consultant and educator, June helps develop a plan that begins at diagnosis, allowing autonomy and choice, with dignity, respect and comfort. As an End of Life Doula, June facilitates end of life discussions offering practical, physical, emotional and spiritual help. Through the end of life journey, June “serves” with guidance and support, providing a physical, peaceful presence.

Consultations, care plans and service packages are custom designed for individual needs and goals. June can be reached at 207-380-3192 for a free 20-minute discovery call. Peaceful Presence services are provided in the Midcoast Maine area. To learn more, visit www.peacefulpresence.org, or email June at.jfitzpatrick977@gmail.com
