How KinzyCare Packages and Pricing Works

Each care package includes multiple one-on-one sessions with licensed or certified professionals. Families begin with a lead care guide (often a social worker or care coach), followed by sessions with grief specialists, death doulas, mediators, or planners depending on their needs. Pricing ranges from $600 - $2,500 a package.

We offer two delivery models:

1. Sequential Support: Families meet with each care fellow individually across several days or weeks.

2. Roundtable Model: For crisis or conflict-heavy cases, a 60–90 minute group session is held with multiple care fellows present.

Each session includes:

Structured questions & gentle emotional check-in
Action-oriented guidance with 2–3 takeaways
Anonymous internal notes & handoffs between team members
A follow-up summary and optional closing reflection session
