Support at life's two thresholds

EHF Canada offers two kinds of one-to-one support at life's thresholds: Last Light, for the end of life, and First Breath, breathwork before and around birth. Both sit alongside medical and palliative care in Caledon East, Ontario, and the first step is a conversation with Carl Nissen.

In short

Last Light and First Breath are offered as presence, breath and facilitation alongside medical and palliative care. They are agreed individually, for you or for a family member. They do not treat, cure or replace clinical care, and no outcome is promised.

What is end-of-life support (Last Light)?

Last Light is calm, experienced support for individuals and families at the end-of-life threshold. It is built around presence and breath. We sit together, we breathe, and we make room for whatever is there, including fear and grief.

The thinking behind it is simple. The body already knows what to do in profound transitions such as birth and death. A facilitator does not fix or heal anyone. The role is to help a person, and the people close to them, stay steady.

To start, contact Carl to discuss an enquiry for yourself or a family member. The nature and arrangements of a session are agreed individually. Carl Nissen, who delivers EHF in Canada, trained directly with founder Jinna van Vliet through EHF Levels 1 to 4.

What is pre-birth and birth support (First Breath)?

First Breath is breathwork before and around the arrival of a child. Parents can enquire about EHF sessions in this window, and we discuss the scope and availability before a booking is made.

The same idea applies. The body already knows what to do in birth, and the work offers presence and breath alongside the care of your medical team, not in place of it.

Who is this support for?

It is for people facing a profound transition, such as the end of a life or the arrival of a child, and for their families. It is also for people carrying grief, a heavy emotional burden or pain that does not have a name yet. Start wherever you are, and we will take it from there at your pace.

How does EHF fit alongside medical and palliative care?

A note on scope

EHF does not treat, cure or diagnose, and it does not replace clinical care. It is offered alongside medical and palliative care, and decisions about care stay with you and your medical team.

We do not give medical advice. If you are not sure whether a session suits your situation, ask your medical team, and then talk with us about what a session would and would not involve.

What if cost is a concern?

Prices are in Canadian dollars and confirmed on a call. Financial constraints should never prevent someone from receiving help. No one is turned away for lack of funds, so please ask about reduced rates.

How do I make an enquiry?

Book a call, or phone (416) 305-2267 or email [email protected]. Please keep sensitive personal or health information out of the enquiry form.
