I am a Certified End-of-Life Doula, Educator, and Hospice Volunteer. An End-of-Life Doula is a holistic practitioner who assists in the dying process similar to how a Birth Doula (Midwife) assists in the birthing process.

As an End-of-Life Doula, I provide holistic, non-medical, emotional, social, physical, and practical support, from diagnosis to bereavement. I help my clients live with dignity in the face of death, feel supported and empowered during the most vulnerable time of their life, and know that they don’t have to face the harsh realities of death and dying alone.

I provide a wide range of services tailored to the needs of the people and families that I serve including, but not limited to, emotional, physical, and practical support, advance care planning, respite care, companionship, legacy/memoir projects, death education, and advocacy.

My clients are supported and empowered to live their best possible life, for the rest of their life, be it for a year, month, week, day, or hour.

I had the profound good fortune of being my mom's full-time caregiver for 11 years after she had a stroke and was later diagnosed with dementia.

My mom's passing was a beautiful and sacred journey, a profoundly transformational experience that changed my understanding of and perspective on death and dying forever.

After my mom's death, I spent the next three years training, apprenticing, and certified as an End-of-Life Doula, Educator/Advocate, and I became a Hospice Volunteer because after experiencing my mom's death through the lens of natural, peaceful, dignified, inevitable, and her final right of passage, I couldn't unsee it. I knew I had to pay it forward by helping other families and caregivers deliver their final act of love-in-action.

Fast forward to today, I’m on a personal crusade to redefine the death and dying experience in America one beloved at a time.
