Dedicated to serving the dying and the dead
> Emotional, spiritual and practical end-of-life care, support and education
> Companion and advocate for those in the final hours or days of life
> Honoring sustainable eco-conscious death practices
> Empowering families to care for their dead in a personal and meaningful way
As a certified deathcare professional and full service doula, I'm committed to offering comprehensive support and a range of services designed to help make the dying, death and mourning process more meaningful for all involved.
serving individuals & families
The death journey is an intimate and powerful time. By consciously engaging in the process, we are in essence reclaiming our personal relationship with mortality and can experience the dying process in a more conscious way, and as a natural completion at the end of life. My role is distinguishable from that of a funeral director or arranger as my focus is on encouraging family-led planning and caretaking of the body, as opposed to having another direct the proceedings.
