Death Work
Who dies?
It can be taboo to talk about death. Many of us fear dying, acting as if the mere mention of it might shorten our lives. Part of my work is to help change the ways in which we interact with our passing, restoring death to its sacred place as the bookend to our lives. And just as we receive help coming into this world, we could all use help when leaving it.
Leave the right legacy.
I’m here to help demystify death and to be a comforting presence for sorting out all those things that make us uncomfortable.
My work looks different every day and is dependent on each individual’s needs and desires. I collaborate with clients to ensure that their end-of-life wishes are known and that their loved ones feel supported even after they are gone.
My main motivation is to serve others and I walk my path with love and compassion. Whether you need guidance planning your estate, finding and preparing for a medicine ceremony, or sitting with your loved one towards the end, I’m here to help.

Just as a birth doula helps assist in the act of giving life, a sacred passage doula — or sacred death doula — assists with the dying process. As a doula, I don’t perform medical tasks and my duties to each client depends on each individual’s prognosis and desires.
I work with people of all backgrounds and circumstances to help them come to terms with their death, or the death of a loved one, and make a person’s last days as comfortable. I make sure people aren’t alone if they don’t want to me and I do my best to anticipate each client’s needs and make a tailored plan.

The Best Three Months (B3M) Coaching model is ideal for anyone who wants to live well before they die. Through a series of coaching sessions, I help clients gain clarity on the things that matter most to them, offering guidance and action steps.
We will work through all five domains — emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological, and practical — as we explore end of life priorities, desires, and care wishes. By gaining perspective about what’s most important at the end, my clients are able to start living more fully now.

Whether you want a say in your own obituary or help honoring a loved one that’s passed, I am happy to help. I’ve worked as a journalist for over a decade — I’ll ask a series of questions to ascertain the most important information, ultimately crafting a narrative that does justice to each subject’s life.
