I am certified and trained to assist in the non-medical aspects of the dying and their care circles. I create a holistic container for all the different aspects of the transitional experience. 

In the sacred space, I offer compassionate companionship in the dying process. I provide emotional and spiritual support, legacy creation, living funerals and ritual guidance. Embracing the belief that death is a transition, a gateway and not an end, I can help facilitate meaningful observances, fostering an environment of support, love and connection. With each unique passage, not only can we co-create personalized rituals, I can provide assistance with practical arrangements, have hard conversations or simply be a comforting presence.

Everyone should have access to an equitable funeral. If you wish to have an intimate home funeral for someone who has died at home, or want support bringing home your loved one who has died in the hospital, I can assist in this time honored tradition. After washing, dressing, and vigil-keeping with the body, together we can sit in ceremony, ritual or quiet time as a way to tend to the final passage of death. 

Part of my mission as a Death Doula is to educate the community on the importance of speaking openly about death and dying. It is also my goal to bring community together around the topic of death. I have spoken to college classes, community programs and on podcasts. Speaking about the topic of death does not mean you will die tomorrow, but being open to the topic will open the door to help foster deeper and more meaningful life reflection.
