I am an INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association) trained death doula.  I offer warm, respectful, calm companionship to those who have a life-limiting illness. I am committed to honoring your life and personhood, and helping you to have the end that suits your desires, beliefs, and needs.  

With skills, heart, and knowledge I offer the following assistance to those who are dying and their loved ones:

• Facilitating open conversations about dying 
• Providing emotional and psychological support in processing life and death
• Attending to spiritual needs based on the beliefs of the dying person
• Advocating for the dying person’s wishes 
• Co-creating a vigil and sitting vigil
• Legacy project
• Enrichment activities
• Providing light housework and pet care
• Providing respite care for caregivers 
• Providing resources, including help for creating legal documents and decisions related to death and dying

What do you need at this time? I am here for you, and I would love to talk with you. I am also available to consult those who do not have a life-limiting illness, but want to prepare for the future. Click here to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

Sliding scale pricing and pro-bono work

I offer all doula services at a reduced rate, if you need it.  I trust you to make an honest assessment of your financial situation, and I will work with you to make this care affordable.  My typical  framework is full price, half price, or a third.  I can also make a payment plan for packages.   

I am committed to offering pro-bono sound healing and doula services on a regular basis, as well as making and taking volunteer opportunities.  It is also important for me to maintain my own well-being and a balanced life, so I may not always be able to accept these requests.  That said, I strongly encourage you to reach out and see what is possible.
