Legacy Mentor

End-Of-Life Support for All
When it comes to death and dying, you don’t have to face it alone.
Whether you’re preparing for your own goodbye or supporting someone you love—there is a way through this that feels calm, clear, and grounded in care.
I’m here to support you
How I Can Help
When it comes to death and dying, I offer support that brings both calm and clarity.
Some arrive early, ready to prepare with intention.
Others come when time is short and everything feels tender.
Both are welcome.
Whether you’re planning for your own goodbye or supporting someone you love, I help you feel emotionally lighter, practically supported, and deeply seen.
Together, we’ll tend to what matters— your wishes, your questions, and the parts of you that need space to soften.
How You Prepare
Is Up To You
Some who seek my help want everything in place.
Some just need space to talk.
Others feel something stirring inside—a quiet nudge to unburden before they go.
These offerings were created to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re planning ahead, feeling the weight of goodbye, or simply wanting to leave something meaningful behind.
The Departure Plan
Clarity can be a relief.
We’ll tend to the practical and the personal—your wishes, your words, and the details that bring peace.
So when the time comes, you and your loved ones can meet it with calm.
The Unfinished Made Lighter
Not everything needs to be resolved. But some things want softening. In these sessions, we gently release the weight of what’s been held too long—regret, tension, unspoken truths.
So you can feel lighter, clearer, and more at peace.
Legacy Work
Your life story matters.
Together, we’ll gather what you want them to remember—your voice, your humor, your heart.
The values you want to be remembered by.
Not just what you did, but who you truly are.
Initial Free Conversation
For those who just need space—to begin, to ask, to breathe.
You don’t need a plan.
This initial 20 minute session is a soft place to land where you can ask questions and explore possibilities.
When Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Becomes Part of the Conversation
MAiD is a personal decision—one that calls for calm, clarity, and compassion.
In Canada, medical assistance in dying is a legal process that allows eligible individuals to receive help from a medical practitioner in ending their life.
Whether you’re exploring options, supporting someone, or seeking understanding—this space is here for you.
This isn’t about rushing.
It’s about easing fear.
Making space for truth.
And walking the path with peace.
Together, we can:
– Talk openly, without judgment
– Clarify what matters—emotionally and practically
– Prepare gently, with steadiness and care
You don’t have to do this alone.
I’m here to walk with you.
"My experience of working with Alessandra has exceeded all my expectations. Her kindness, energy and wisdom were like a steady hand guiding me through an understandably emotionally challenging experience. It is very strange to know that this will almost certainly be the last recommendation I give, but one that is wholehearted for anyone about to
embark on the final journey into the unknown.
About Your Guide
Meet Alessandra
You don’t need to be fearless.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just need somewhere to begin.
I’m Alessandra Sagredo—Certified End-of-Life Doula, Legacy Guide, Counselling Hypnotherapist, and Conscious Dying Coach.
I’ve spent over 25 years guiding others through life’s most tender thresholds—and I’ve faced my own, twice, after surviving two brain cancer diagnoses.
I don’t just understand this work—I’ve lived it.
My approach is rooted in the principles of thanatology—the study of death, dying, and grief—and shaped by years of lived and professional experience.
Through my practice, End of Life Help, I offer emotional support, gentle planning, and steady presence for those navigating death, grief, or simply seeking clarity.
Some of the people I support are nowhere near death.
Others arrive when time is short, and tenderness matters most.
Wherever you are, you don’t have to face it alone.
This work is about meaning, not fear.
Relief, not overwhelm.
Presence, not pressure.
When you’re ready, we begin—
One soft, grounded step at a time.
