Say HelloMindy Genereux
Mindy Genereux is a Certified Death Doula and End-of-Life Coach, trained under Alua Arthur and Claire Bidwell Smith — two of the most respected voices in the death doula space. She is the founder of Leave Well Media and the creator of Story Studio, a private app for capturing family stories and building lasting legacies.
Leave Well Media was born at a bedside. Built in grief, shaped by love, and designed so that no family has to lose the voice of the person they adore. Mindy understands the particular ache of anticipatory grief — the strange suspended time where someone you love is still here, and also leaving.
Nobody prepared you for this moment. We did.Mindy Genereux, Leave Well Media
Through the Live Well Library, Story Studio, and the Legacy Shop, Mindy offers families practical tools, emotional resources, and a community that understands. Her work is rooted in one belief: that the story you leave is the love that stays.
Mindy reads every message personally. If you are walking through something hard right now, she wants to hear from you.
Trained under Alua Arthur, one of the most respected death doulas in North America, and Claire Bidwell Smith, a renowned grief therapist and author.
Specialized training in supporting families through the emotional, practical, and legacy dimensions of terminal illness and anticipatory grief.
Creator of Story Studio, the Live Well Library, and the Legacy Shop — a complete ecosystem of resources for families navigating loss together.
Story Studio was built around four archetypes. Each person in your family has a unique and valuable role to play.
The person whose story is being told. They invite their people, add stories in words, photos, or video, and build the final legacy project.
The caregiver, the coordinator, the one who holds everything together. The Guide helps gather stories, provides support, and assists with organizing memories.
Family members and friends who contribute stories, photos, and reflections that make the final keepsake richer and more complete.
Those who read, watch, and honor the story as it unfolds. Their presence and attention matters deeply to the Hero and the family.
Story Studio is waiting. The library is free. And Mindy is here.
