Guiding your transformation
when life changes…

The Journey Guide Project helps medical professionals, patients, and caregivers to:

  • reframe stress & strengthen resilience

  • navigate shared medical decision-making

  • find deeper purpose and meaning

  • honor the pain of grief

  • amplify the mind-body connection

Select your path:

Whether you are a professional in the caring/medical world, or you or a loved one are facing a serious illness, you’ve come to the right place.

We believe…

The patient should be at the helm, actively developing their personal narrative with the support of Clinical & Lifestyle Guides, who help navigate the complexities of the medical system, investigate and identify next steps, translate progress, and confidently communicate their questions and desires.

Overcoming System Barriers:
Resiliency, Grief, and The Patient Narrative

“There is a need in the community for people to know that their story involves mind, body, and spirit, and to understand that grief is an integral part of their medical journey. I believe the Journey Guide Project provides resources for patients to make this all possible.”
