If you sit quietly, in the hush of the woods,
You can hear the white pines whisper
“Come home to me”
And we rediscover the roots that ground us all.

End Of Life Journeys
Perhaps you want to be proactive and plan ahead for several possible eventualities, perhaps someone you love has just been given a life limiting diagnosis, perhaps you need assistance with a legacy project or perhaps you’re overwhelmed with a current transition into death.
As a Death Doula, I assist people along their journey towards the end of life with empathetic companionship, helping people navigate the uncertain terrain and providing support as it’s required.
Reiki Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing that addresses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This energy intuitively flows to where it is needed most. Believing in a higher energy—be it the universe, source, creator, God or spirit—reiki utilizes me as a conduit to channel this energy to the client. I simply facilitate the flow, allowing the energy to do its work.
Mediumship
Mediumship, much like death, is often a topic avoided by many. Our beliefs and perspectives on these subjects vary, leading to interesting discussions. As an empathic medium, I use my gifts to tap into emotions and connect with spirit. I believe everyone possesses this ability in different forms, whether it's intuition, gut feelings, or an innate knowing. Just as athletes train their bodies, I see mediumship as a muscle that requires regular exercise to develop and expand. Over the past few years, I have been working on strengthening this connection and would be delighted to explore it with you - or not - depending on your comfort level.
Elder Mediation
Elder mediation provides a respectful and open space for individuals to share their thoughts, emotions, and ideas. It focuses on issues affecting our elders, such as transitioning to a new home with more support, staying in their own home with added assistance, managing illness, and helping families navigate these challenges together to achieve the best possible outcome for the elder.
The benefits of elder mediation include preserving relationships, reducing stress, and finding mutually acceptable solutions. This process promotes harmony and understanding within families while ensuring the elder’s needs and wishes are respected.
About Transitional Whispers
My name is Marie South, and I live in Kawartha Lakes. After a long career in administration and book keeping, I retired from a local business in 2021 and completely changed my focus. In 2022, I explored mediumship and began to exercise my empathic gifts. In addition to volunteering in Palliative Care with Community Care Hospice Services, I became a certified Death Doula in December 2022, and a certified Reiki Practitioner in 2023. I am also currently working on my education as a mediator.
I started Transitional Whispers to combine my skills and offer practical support, guidance, and healing during end-of-life transitions. My fascination with death, sparked long ago when I was a child, has grown into a deep sense of peace and hope, motivating me to use this perspective to assist others.
