Death is not a medical failure—it is a sacred, natural part of life. At Treasured Journey, we offer compassionate, non-medical support for individuals and families as they prepare for, move through, and reflect on the end-of-life experience.

 

Teanne Johnson is a certified death midwife—the only one serving northwest Montana—who walks alongside the dying and their loved ones with grounded presence, calm, and care. Whether you are planning in advance, facing a terminal diagnosis, or sitting vigil with someone you love, you do not have to navigate this journey alone.

A Gentle, Supported Transition

Each life is unique—and so is each death. Teanne’s role is to honor your values, preferences, and pace. Her presence brings steadiness and warmth to a time that can otherwise feel overwhelming or clinical. Whether in a hospital, a home, or hospice setting, her focus is always the same: to help you feel seen, heard, and supported through every step of this sacred journey.

You deserve to be accompanied—not managed—as you or your loved one moves through this final chapter.
