Mudança means change or shift. Healing reflects the journey toward acceptance. 

Together, they describe how we approach the work we do.​

At Mudança Healing, we believe no one should navigate the end of life unprepared nor alone.​

A Message from the Founder,
Dr. Susan Abernethy

If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy.

​

Maybe you've just received a difficult diagnosis. Maybe you're watching a parent age and quietly wondering — are we ready for what comes next? Maybe someone you love is already in the thick of it and you're doing your best to show up, even when you're not sure how.

​

Whatever brought you here — I'm glad you found me. You are not alone in this. And you don't have to figure it out alone.

​

Mudança Healing grew out of my belief  that death deserves the same care and preparation we give to birth. That every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported as they move through one of life's most profound transitions. And that every family deserves someone in their corner who knows how to help — not just clinically, but at a deeply human level.

​

This work isn't only about paperwork and medical decisions, though those things matter and we'll get to them. It's about making sure the people you love know what you value and what would bring you peace. It's about walking alongside you — and your family — with as much grace and love as this moment calls for.

​

I'm so glad you're here. Take a look around, and when you're ready to talk, reach out.

The human soul doesn't want to be advised or fixed or saved. 
It simply wants to be witnessed, exactly as it is.
