What we accomplish together in 60 minutes
We review where you actually stand
We go through your readiness assessment results and look honestly at your specific situation — what's in place, where the gaps are, and what those gaps actually mean for your family. This isn't a general conversation. It's built entirely around you.
We identify your single biggest priority
Not a list of everything you should eventually do — the one area that will make the most meaningful difference right now, given your specific circumstances and what matters most to you.
You leave with a clear, specific plan
A personalized next-best-steps roadmap that tells you exactly what to focus on first and why. Not a direction — a plan. Something you can act on before we even have our follow-up call.
At the end of the session, I'll share how we can continue working together if that feels like the right fit. If you'd rather take your blueprint and move forward on your own, that's completely fine too. No pressure. No strings.
Barbara Gates
Certified End-of-Life Doula + Certified Advance Care Planner
Barb helps busy professionals and their families get the end-of-life planning and support they deserve — through advance care planning, end-of-life support, and the kind of clear, compassionate guidance that cuts through the confusion and actually makes this whole thing feel manageable.
She brings certifications in both end-of-life doula care and advance care planning, 25 years of professional experience in storytelling and communication, and something no certification teaches: the particular understanding of someone who has navigated complex, high-stakes family medical situations with no roadmap — and who has made it her life's work to make sure nobody else has to do the same.
She will not talk down to you. She will not make this more complicated than it needs to be. And she will not pretend that the paperwork is the point — because it isn't.

Why this work matters to Barb
When Barb's youngest sister was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disorder as a teenager, the family spent the next two decades navigating a complex healthcare system largely alone. No advocates. No roadmap. No one translating what was happening into something they could actually understand and act on. Just two tenacious women — Barb and her mother — figuring it out as they went.
Even with everything they brought to it, it was harder than it needed to be.
She kept thinking about everyone doing this without the time, the information, or the support. About the families losing precious hours with their loved ones to confusion that didn't have to be there. About the decisions being made in the dark that could have been made with clarity.
That's not okay. And it's exactly why she does this work.
No family should have a harder ending than they need to — because they didn't know what they didn't know. That's her mission. And the Blueprint Session is one of the most important ways she fulfills it.
A few things to know
This is a working session, not a sales call
The Blueprint Session is designed to produce something real: a personalized roadmap you can act on. The conversation at the end about next steps is just that — a conversation. There is no pressure to commit to anything.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you arrive
That's what the session is for. Fill out the short intake form when you book, and show up with whatever questions you're carrying. That's enough.
