At Mimi’s Porch, we believe that aging and dying are not endpoints - they’re journeys.
Like any meaningful expedition - whether it’s hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or the road trip of a lifetime - these paths require thoughtful preparation, clear direction, and the right people by your side.
Your estate plan is your map, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Your family - or chosen family - is your team, the ones who may walk parts of the trail with you, carry your memory, or carry out your wishes. And just like with any serious journey, advance planning makes all the difference. It’s what turns uncertainty into intention, and fear into confidence.
At Mimi’s Porch, we are both your preparation coach and your trusted guide. We help you clarify what matters most, organize the essentials, and prepare for the inevitable twists and turns ahead. Whether you have loved ones around you or are forging this path more independently, you don’t have to do this alone.
This is your journey. Let’s plan it with purpose, walk it with dignity, and ensure that when the time comes, your legacy reflects the life you lived - and the values you hold dear.
Traditional Approach
The traditional approach to planning is often fragmented and siloed. Families are sent to multiple specialists - attorneys for estate documents, financial advisors for investments, doctors for advance care directives, funeral homes for arrangements, grief counselors for emotional support. These services rarely communicate with each other, leaving the burden on the individual or family to piece it all together, often in the midst of stress, illness, or grief. The process can feel transactional, centered on forms, fees, and checklists, with little attention to the emotional, relational, or spiritual dimensions of life and legacy.
Mimi’s Porch Approach
Mimi’s Porch offers something different: an integrated, person-centered approach. Here, fiduciary expertise, legacy wellness coaching, and end-of-life doula care are brought together in one place. Instead of running between professionals, families have a single trusted guide. Every decision begins with the client’s values, wishes, and story - not just paperwork. Services are delivered with compassion and presence, honoring both the practical and the deeply human needs. Continuity carries across the journey, from planning ahead, to navigating the final chapter, to supporting loved ones after a death. At Mimi’s Porch, technical expertise and human presence are woven together, so clients feel supported in every dimension of life and legacy.
