you’re going to die someday.
when are you going to start living like that’s true?
I believe the modern wellness industry is ignoring a fundamental piece of wellness: mortality. My cancer diagnosis at 29 made me realize that we’re doing wellness all wrong; our societal death-phobia is killing us.
Through writing, speaking, and coaching, my mission is to change the way we think about the relationship between death and wellness.
Nature-informed. Holistic. Integrative. Practical. When each of us heals our relationship to death and dying, we create space for the collective to heal together, and thereby our planet. I’m here to change the world. If it’s the last thing I do.
— Julia de’Caneva
Founder, If It’s The Last Thing I Do
I have become unabashedly obsessed with the connection between mortality and wellness through the lens of three core concepts, which infuse and inform all of the ways in which I support other humans.
01
decluttering
02
mindfulness
03
self-sovereignty
health, because of death
Your health is precious precisely because you do die. Why not build a life that supports your true wellness in body, heart, and mind for as long as you have left.
Decluttering isn’t just for closets and inboxes — declutter your whole life in service of true wellness. Holistic health is more than just the absence of disease, it’s about finding authenticity.
