Between Realms
Between Realms
Journeys • Transitions • Transformation
Between Realms was born from years of walking alongside grief, transformation, and the thresholds that shape a human life. It is the container that holds this work — a place where journeys are honoured, transitions are tended, and transformation is allowed to unfold in its own time.
Services
Between Realms offers support across three interconnected pathways:
Journeys
Inward journeys for individuals accepted into Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP) for end-of-life distress.
Transitions
End-of-Life Doula support for individuals and families including end-of-life planning, bedside presence, and grief support.
Transformation
Reiki energy healing that helps you restore balance, and move through grief, stress, or life transitions with greater ease.
Between Realms also offers Corporate Wellness Days, providing on-site Reiki sessions that support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and workplace wellbeing.
Workshops & Events
Between Realms offers workshops and community events that invite honest conversation, reflection, and connection around death, grief, and life’s transitions. Events are hosted in community spaces, libraries, hospices, seniors residences, private homes, workplaces, or retreat settings. All workshops are facilitated by Maïa Mercure, Founder of Between Realms.
Death Cafés
Facilitated conversations about death, loss, and meaning
Grief Tending Circles
A held space for grief to move, breathe, and be witnessed
End-of-Life Planning Workshops
Workshops for clarifying values, wishes and future care preferences
What Makes Between Realms Different
Between Realms is shaped by a willingness to engage with the mystical dimensions of dying, while remaining grounded in ethics and professional practice.
My work emphasizes strengthening connection to spirit at the end of life, helping individuals and families navigate fear, meaning, and the unknown with greater ease.
This approach is especially supportive for those who feel death is more than a medical event and who sense there is something sacred unfolding.​​
