We’ll help you create a personalized advance care plan, because it should be so much more than ticking off a check box.
What is Advance Care Planning Coaching?
Advance care planning is a conversation about the medical care you want throughout your life and at the end-of-life. It can also be scary to talk about – you don’t know what the future holds, and you don’t want to burden your family.
We hear you! Coaching can transform these hard conversations into ones that’ll give you and your loved ones peace of mind. You’ll get the medical care you want and your family won’t need to guess.
How Does It Work?
1. You’ll meet your coach virtually, from the comfort of your home.
You’ll meet with one of our coaches who have over 55+ years of combined experience with advance care planning.
2. During the coaching session, we’ll help you:
Define what’s most important to you – your values, goals, and wishes for your medical care.
Personalize your advance care plan and create a framework for making healthcare decisions.
Identify and document a Health Care Proxy.
Talk with your loved ones and your medical team about your wishes.
Get emotional and spiritual support because it can be scary to think about the future.
3. After the session, you’ll also get…
A personalized action plan with your wishes written out!
Keep a copy for yourself and share a copy with your medical team, and your family. We’ll also collaborate with your primary care clinician to keep them in the loop.

Who are the coaches?
We have over 55+ years of experience helping people think through advance care planning.
Ashwini Bapat MD and Caitlin Baran MD are palliative care doctors, and Sarah Byrne-Martelli DMin is a palliative care chaplain. They met while working at Massachusetts General Hospital. Lisa Catalano LICSW is a palliative care social worker at Newton Wellesley Hospital in the suburbs of Boston.
We’ve seen how advance care planning can ease the burden on families, and we’ve also seen the confusion, guilt, and regret that people feel when these conversations haven’t happened. We’ll help you answer the most useful questions, so that in a medical crisis, you and your family are prepared to advocate for you.
