The first conversation is the one that shapes everything after. Your client's family will lean on what got captured in that meeting for months, sometimes years, after your work together is done. You already know how much depends on getting it right.

Everything in these pages is client-facing and brandable. Put your business name and logo on the cover, drop in your own intake questions, print it for in-person sessions or fill it in digitally on a call. The structure is yours to adapt.

Who this if for

Death doulas, end-of-life practitioners, hospice workers, grief facilitators, and anyone whose work sits with people at the edge of a life. Whether you're seeing your first client or your fiftieth, this gives you a repeatable structure for a conversation that never goes the same way twice.

Kema Ward is a death doula and grief facilitator based in Costa Rica, where she founded Carpe Mortem and The Unseen Mourning. Her own journey with grief and loss is what led her to this work, and she writes about it in her book Where the Light Comes In. Her philosophy centers the conversations most of us are taught to avoid, and the practices that help both practitioners and the people they serve stay grounded in them.
