“Conversations about death and dying are difficult, but Alison navigates them with ease and ensures that people are heard, informed and most of all respected. Her many years of experience allow her to see the big picture, so that she thinks of every eventuality and will solve problems before they happen, or troubleshoot when they do. She will say the things that need to be said and do the things that need to be done. A broad knowledge base and a big heart make Alison a great ally when navigating the journey through death and dying."

"Alison offers a comprehensive knowledge of palliative care, brought together from both personal and professional experience. Her kindness, caring and compassion is a blessing to those she supports."

"I first met Alison when my husband was in hospice where she was the Director of Clinical Care. I was overwhelmed by everything that was happening to my husband but tried to be strong for him. I didn’t know at first whether I could manage being his support person or even if I understood what was happening to him, it was all happening way too fast. In my heart and my mind there was no question that I knew I needed to be there for him. However, I learned quickly that he had an entire team there to assist him. What I didn’t realize was that there was a person there for me as well, someone that I really needed to guide me and to walk me through this horrible journey.
That person was Alison, she was there every step of the way for both of us. I was afraid to open up to a stranger and share my deepest thoughts. Her compassion and complete understanding of what we were going through helped me make it through so many dark days and nights. If I didn’t understand something, she took the time to explain things to me. If I needed a shoulder to vent or cry on, she was there. Alison truly was my rock during this time and walked along side me no matter when I needed her. There are few people in this world who can leave such a lasting impression on me, and I can honestly say that Alison is one of those people. She cares so deeply and will open her heart to anyone who needs her. She truly is an amazing individual, and I am so profoundly grateful to her. She will always have a special place in my heart and to this day, if I need a friend to reach out to, I know she is there."

"Alison Potter is passionate about palliative and end of life care. Her experience as a nurse in the acute care, home care and hospice settings has given her extensive knowledge in this area. Alison’s knowledge, combined with her enthusiasm for sharing it in an understanding and compassionate way, allows her to make information about death and dying meaningfully accessible for any who want to know more."

"I have had the pleasure to know and work with Alison Potter for 12 years. She is an exceptional palliative care nurse with over 20 years of experience in palliative care in a variety of settings including home and hospice. Her fierce advocacy for her patients’ wishes at end of life is second to none. Her profound compassion for families comes from her own personal experience with loss and commitment to this area of nursing expertise."

I have had the privilege of working with Alison in palliative home care settings and hospice over the past 25 years. She is a gem! She has a passion for providing the highest quality of palliative care and has extensive knowledge of resources available. Alison is an expert communicator and puts people at ease with her candor and humor. I can think of no better guide through difficult discussions regarding death, dying and how to best support those facing end-of-life.
