Why I Do This Work

My purpose came into existence after losing my sister, Kristina.

While Kristina was in hospice, she asked me to get the letters she had written for her daughter, meant for the milestones she would miss. When I opened them, my heart sank.  Every single letter was blank.  At that stage in her decline, she was too weak to write.

So I sat beside her, listening to the sound of the oxygen machine loudly filling the room, and recorded her voice as she spoke the words she wanted her daughter to hear. Those moments were raw and heartbreaking. They became her final messages.

After her Celebration of Life, I took the letters to my niece and explained that it wasn't my place to write them, but that I had recorded her Mama's wishes for her.  As we started to play the videos, their dog immediately recognized Kristina's voice and spun her head to find out where she was.  It broke my niece and I.  We understand how powerful hearing Kristina's voice was to not only us, but their pet.

That changed me forever.

I realized how many families wait until it’s too late. How many stories go untold. How many voices fade before we make time to preserve them.

Kristina’s legacy is why I created The Heira Experience™. Every family I serve is another reminder that love deserves to be documented, remembered, and passed on.

Her story shaped my purpose. Now it’s my honor to help you preserve your storry while you can.

 

 

More than a Home Movie or a Family Picture

The Heira Experience™ is an opportunity unlike any other.  It's a combination of documenting your life story with a multi-generational portrait that will be installed on your walls as an heirloom statement piece.

We will walk you through cherished memories of your life, taking care to record the conversation with dignity and respect.  We will intertwine family photos and documents throughout and include background music to enhance the recording.

The Power of Now.

But now, while we are here, and able to choose how we’ll be remembered.

In Loving Memory of Kristina

My vibrant, caring sister

The one who inspired this work.

The one whose voice we still long to hear.

 

May every session honor the stories we still have time to tell - and the ones we wish we would have recorded.
