My Nana’s death when I was a kid and my dad’s death in my youth taught me, slowly over the years, what was missing in deathcare.

While insightful teachers and cultural creators have emerged since then, gaps persist that limit our awareness and participation in deathcare.

My work aims to foster relational connection and spiritual growth through our big and small “deaths”, both personal and collective.

I do not see death as a limit or that end-of-life is a requirement when we die.

I am passionate about how we care for our people in their final arc of life and how we hold space in our communities for conversations that are life-affirming and acknowledge our endings.
