My dad’s death in 1991 taught me, slowly over the years, what was missing in deathcare at that time. While insightful teachers and cultural creators have come onto the scene since then, gaps that limit our awareness and participation with deathcare still persist.

The aim of my work is to foster relational and spiritual growth through our experiences of big and small “deaths” and the accompanying grief we personally and collectively learn how to tend.

My role as an end-of-embodiment doula does not see death as a limit or that 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.
