Jaime Hazard
Wellness & Longevity Coach, End-of-Life Doula (for pets and people!), Home Funeral Consultant and Author of The Rest of Your Life Planner.
Welcome to my website where I help you achieve your health and wellness goals with a focus on extending not just your lifespan but also your healthspan. Additionally, you’ll find resources and services to help you and your loved ones through the death and dying process. I reside in the Ithaca, New York area but provide wellness and death doula services to clients all over the United States virtually.
On a more personal note, I’m a bit of wanderer at heart–always wanting to meet new people, see new places, enjoy new environments and learn as much about the world as one possibly can. I’m obsessed with tiny houses, vintage campers, anything paranormal, animals & nature, herpetology, soap making, herbology, sewing and creating anything my mind can dream up. I am an artist, musician, seamstress and maker of handmade bath & body products. All of those skills have woven themselves into the services you see offered here. From playing my relaxing tongue drum to sewing home funeral kits and burial shrouds to making the soaps and body oils offered in the home funeral kits to designing the artwork for my logo. Wind & Wing is truly the creative expression of my compassion for people and animals and I pour myself into every little detail.
