Do you fear death, or dread the loss of independence and vitality? You're not alone; many of us avoid discussions on death, leaving us unprepared, overwhelmed, and full of regret, especially during times of complex emotions and disorienting grief.
What if we embraced death as part of our human journey, finding empowerment in contemplating our mortality and planning for a meaningful end-of-life experience?
My mission is to transform our relationship with death, honoring it as a sacred rite of passage and a catalyst for wholehearted living.
As an End-of-Life Guide, I provide you with the knowledge and tools to advocate for yourself and your loved ones, prepare for the end-of-life in a practical and uplifting way, and realize your vision of a meaningful passage.
Let's start a conversation about how you can prepare for a meaningful end-of-life experience - for yourself or someone you love. Contact me today to take the first step toward peace, empowerment and personal transformation.

End-of-Life Planning
Do thoughts of the future and the inevitable journey of life's end overwhelm you? Or are you seeking ways to support an aging loved one but don't know where to start? Death can be daunting, however, there's plenty we can do to ease anxiety now and lessen the burden on you and your loved ones down the road.
End-of-Life Support
Whether you, or a loved one, are facing the challenges of decline from natural causes or a terminal illness, this journey can be incredibly difficult when faced alone. Saying goodbye is never easy, but with the right support, a clear understanding of what to expect, and gentle guidance on how to 'be present' through this sacred experience, it can be profoundly healing and transformative.
After Death Support
If you've recently lost a loved one, grief can leave you confused and disoriented. Dealing with the practical matters that follow only adds to the pain. Let us guide you through these necessary steps, allowing you and your family to focus on supporting each other emotionally and spiritually during this challenging time.
My Story
Ozzie (L), Levi (R) and me in the Santa Cruz Mountains
Greetings, and thank you for your interest in exploring death and dying.
My name is Monica Montefiore, I'm a certified End-of-Life Guide and founder of The Mountainflower Path.
I took a meandering path to this work. For over two decades, I led a successful career in corporate real estate. At some point, I realized my work was no longer aligned with who I had become. I had evolved personally, but my career had not evolved with me. I made the decision to leave, and give myself time and space to contemplate what was next.
