My dad’s death in 1991 taught me what was missing in deathcare at that time. While insightful teachers and cultural creators have come on the scene since then, gaps that limit our awareness and participation with deathcare still persist.
I invite you to join me in a community that imagines new cultural directives in deathcare – one that also acknowledges the non-death losses we experience as part of the Life/Death/Life cycle – and forms a community container awakening us to where we are denying death in its various forms and avoiding life.
My role as an end-of-embodiment doula does not see death as a limit or that an end-of-life is required 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 tender, life-affirming, and acknowledge our endings.
