Maybe someone you love is dying, or maybe you are. You could be sitting with grief that hasn't quite found its shape, or you could be trying to plan for something you can't quite name. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you came.
I'm an end-of life doula. I offer steady, non-medical presence through life's biggest moments, including death and dying. This isn't hospice or therapy. It's something older and simpler: a person who shows up, stays present, and helps hold the space around a passage so it can unfold the way it needs to.
I am building this space for women, nonbinary people, and the LGBTQ+ community: people who have often been rushed, mismanaged, or quietly overlooked by the systems that were supposed to care for them in the moments they most needed to be seen.
You don't need to be actively dying to work with me. You don't need to belong to a specific faith (or any faith). I believe the body carries its own wisdom through every threshold, and my job is to protect that process, not manage it.
If you've felt invisible in a hospital room or worried that your identity might be erased, this is your space.
In every conversation and visit, I keep coming back to the same few things. These have become my guiding principles:
Everyone blooms in their own time.
There's no "right" pace for grieving or dying. I try to meet people exactly where they are, without trying to pull them forward.
The body knows what it's doing.
Dying isn't a problem to solve. It's a process the body has always known, and all life dies in a similar way (even animals!). My role is mostly to get out of the body's way and help others do the same.
Every passage is sacred.
I believe this deeply because every person and every threshold deserve to be met with individualized attention. Quiet or loud, tearful or stoic, religious or secular... it all matters.

Ongoing support that can look like regular visits, phone calls, or someone showing up at appointments so you're not alone in the room.
Individualized planning and presence for the active dying process, which can include comfort measures, sensory preferences, and sacred time after death.
Guided conversations and support that can look like recording someon'e stories before they're gone or writing a letter meant to be read after death.
Deeply personalized ceremony or ritual planning that actually reflect the life and legacy being honored.
Unhurried, unstructured space to just be in your grief (before or after a loss) because grief has no timeline.
Values-based conversations and guided support that help you pre-plan, because no one wants to be caught with their pants down during an emergency.
