Our Story
Journey Home for Empowered Living and Dying was founded by Renee Moor, a Buddhist psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and end-of-life doula, following the profound losses of her father and husband.
Through these deeply personal experiences, Renee recognized a gap in how we approach death. In a system where medical professionals—trained to prolong life—are often our primary guides at the end, she saw the need for emotional, mental, and practical support that embraces death not just as something to endure, but as something that can be peaceful, meaningful, and even beautiful.
With this vision, Journey Home was born.
Our intention is simple yet powerful:
To create peaceful and meaningful memories at the end of life.
As a registered charity, Journey Home is guided by a team of dedicated directors, supported by passionate committee members and volunteers who serve the community with compassion and care.
Renee Moor, Founder and Executive Director
I believe in choosing surrender over suffering and guiding others to do the same. Life's challenges can transform into love through acceptance. I founded Journey Home to help people find peace amidst change.
