A Death Doula provides compassionate, non-medical care  specializing in the end-of-life journey, offering education, planning,  emotional support, and guidance to individuals and the people who love  them. 

I believe that understanding your options and preparing ahead can  ease fear, reduce uncertainty, and create space for meaningful  conversations and informed choices. Whether you are facing a terminal  illness, planning for the future, or supporting a loved one, I provide a  calm, compassionate presence every step of the way. Together, we will  create a plan that reflects your values, honors your wishes, and helps  you approach end of life with greater confidence, clarity and maybe just  maybe a bit of curiosity. 

End-of-life education and consultation can bring clarity,  confidence, and meaningful conversations to individuals, families, and  healthcare teams.

End-of-life education and consultation can bring clarity,  confidence, and meaningful conversations to individuals, families, and  healthcare teams. Through customized sessions, I provide information and  guidance on topics related to end-of-life planning, advance care  planning, grief, and complex decisions such as VSED (Voluntarily  Stopping Eating and Drinking). Whether supporting a family seeking a  better understanding of their options or providing education for  healthcare professionals and organizations, my approach is grounded in  compassion, evidence-informed information, and respect for each person’s  values and choices. Education and thoughtful consultation empower  people to ask important questions, make informed decisions, and approach  end-of-life conversations with greater understanding and confidence.

Life is filled with transitions—some expected, others that arrive without warning. As a Transitions Coach,  I offer short-term coaching to help individuals navigate life's many  changes, including aging, health challenges, becoming an empty nester,  divorce, grief and loss, retirement, and other significant life events.  Drawing on my training in Nervous System Regulation through Organic  Intelligence®, I combine practical tools with compassionate guidance to  help you move through uncertainty with greater resilience, clarity, and  confidence. Together, we'll create a path forward that honors where you  are, supports where you're going, and helps you navigate change with  greater ease and intention.

Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) is a legally recognized end-of-life option that some individuals choose to explore when it aligns with their personal values, goals, and medical circumstances. My role is not to influence this decision, but to provide compassionate education, thoughtful planning, and steady support for individuals and their loved ones.

Together, we create a personalized plan that addresses the practical, emotional, and logistical aspects of the VSED process. This may include education about what to expect, developing a day-to-day care plan, creating a comfort-focused schedule, coordinating the vigil, preparing loved ones for each stage of the process, and helping ensure everyone understands their roles. Throughout the experience, I provide a calm, supportive presence while helping families navigate the uncertainties that can arise.

My goal is to help individuals and families feel informed, prepared, and supported every step of the way, honoring each person's wishes with dignity, compassion, and respect.
