To ensure no one walks toward death alone, restoring deathto its sacred and healing place.
At The Sacred Life, we believe that birth and death are sacred mirrors.
Death many times is not welcomed in today’s society, encouraged and spoke openly about.
Sadly, even less do we have planning in place when death unexpectedly approaches. We take joy in preparing and welcoming birth with baby showers and celebrations, but rarely give death the same intentionality, respect, openness of planning, and honoring it deserves.
We believe death and birth are deeply sacred in the cycle of life. By honoring death, we honor life, and we honor love harnessed through it all.
My path into this work is deeply personal. Years of struggling with infertility and depression brought me face to face with grief, transformation, and ultimately, spiritual rebirth. It was through my spiritual healing that a seed was planted — that death is not the end, it is rebirth.
My experience with Esther made it unmistakably clear: this was my wish for everyone when we died, including myself. Months after she passed, I found myself in deep thought and wonder over and over of how and why we should face death differently and how we should face it together. I felt strongly as if God was leading me to exploring more and to my purpose in life. After much research I then discovered what a death doula and coach were, and knew this was it.
Without hesitation, and with the support of my loving family, I left a 15-year corporate career, completed my trainings, and founded The Sacred Life — A Conscious Dying Organization.
Here, you will find the devotion to guide you or your loved one through their very own ideal end-of-life journey with the deepest intentions for love, healing, and peace.
I hope and look forward to being of service to you on this very special and sacred journey.
With love,
Elizabeth Rodriguez
When my dear friend Esther was facing her terminal cancer, I witnessed her journey with profound reverence. What I didn’t realize then was that I was witnessing a conscious death. Esther faced her death openly— she spoke freely about her struggles, her fears, her fight, and her legacy. She shared deep reflections of her life with me, her immense gratitude and love for her children, her faith, and the peace she found in eventually letting go. What I appreciated the most was that she expressed what she wanted and needed in the end — including this, capturing one last family portrait with her beautiful children and grandchildren. She and I mustered a smile holding each other seen in the photo to the right.
