A Death Doula or End of Life Doula is a non medical, spiritual, emotional, and logistical support guide who assists a dying person and their loved ones through their end of life transition process.
I offer non-medical support and holistic care. Together we can create a visionary map that empowers you through your own sacred transition of life into death. My call to is to embrace the ancient practice of tending to the dying community through guidance, presence, and companionship in order to mitigate feelings of fear and anxiety.
With over 30 years of experience working in service to humans, I have strengthened my practice of deep active listening and the art of presence. I am uniquely adept at fierce yet soft advocacy for all of my clients. It is of the utmost importance that everyone I work with feels truly seen and heard.

A Legacy Project is a way to leave behind a tangible reminder of some of your most soulful life expressions. It is a way for the dying to write the ending of their story that shows purpose and meaning. It preserves the past and honors life's contributions. Additionally, it helps to inform and inspire future ancestors.
During the active dying and vigil stage of transition, often it can be comforting to the client to receive energy work. This can come in the form of hands on healing touch, contactless reiki healing, as well as guided visual meditation. A combination of these modalities can serve to be calming to the client as well as the loved ones.
Ritual is defined by using gestures, words or actions that uses tradition or sacred symbolism. There are rituals or ceremonies that can be performed regularly throughout the dying and subsequent grieving process in order to create sacred ceremony for everyone involved.
