I am an organically grown Death Doula, shaped by early and intimate encounters with death and dying. From attending funerals as a child to visiting elders in nursing homes with my mom, these experiences planted seeds of compassion, reverence, and presence. A near-death experience and years of hospice volunteering deepened this path, leading me to become a certified End-of-Life Doula (Death Doula) offering grounded, heart-centered support at life’s threshold.

To support this calling, I have trained as a Certified Reiki Master, Holistic Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, and Clinical Chaplain / Spiritual Care Intern. I weave these modalities together to offer comfort, rest, and gentle presence for both the dying and their loved ones.

I work collaboratively with palliative and hospice care teams, honoring each person’s unique journey. Shaped by decades of hands-on experience, extensive travel, and deep human connection, I remain a devoted student of life and of others’ stories.

My training supports the belief that end-of-life transitions can be gentler—and even better—than expected. One teaching guides my work:
“If a death goes well, it will be remembered forever. And if it does not, it will also be remembered forever.”
My goal is always the former.

I am, and always will, be a student.

I provide holistic, non-medical care that complements hospice services, creating a compassionate circle of support for the dying and those who love them. I believe we are meant not just to endure life, but to experience it fully—right to the end. Let’s make that final chapter meaningful and beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to meet me. I would be honored to learn your story.
