Death is not a single moment. It lives in the diagnosis, the season turning, the parent aging, the grief that arrives before loss, and the questions that surface as we try to make sense of being alive.
Turning toward death, together.
Let me be in the room with you. To sit with the questions that are scary to say out loud. To help you remember what matters most. To uncover the choices you didn't know you had. To celebrate what makes your life yours. To help you check things off your list. To laugh when it's absurd. And to stay when it gets hard.
Let's find out what emerges when we face death together.
Meet me here.
How Can I Support You?
-
Living with Mortality
Companionship and small group space for reckoning with what death asks of your life
Something has shifted. A diagnosis. An aging parent. An inner knowing you can no longer defer. When mortality stops being abstract, you need space to think it through. Wrestle with it. Whether you want a steady companion alongside you, or a small group to move through it together, there is a place here.
I offer 1:1 Living with Mortality companionship and Migration Circles, a values-based advance care planning experience in small group form.

End-of-Life Support
Compassionate guidance as you're dying and support for those who love you
When death moves from a possibility to real, everything changes.
Whether you're facing your own terminal diagnosis or supporting someone you love, I’m here. I provide knowledge of your options, a compassionate presence to lean into, and resources to move things forward. From companionship to vigil support to funeral planning, I help you feel less alone.
I offer Death Nesting for those approaching the end of life and MAID Companionship for those choosing a medically assisted death with dignity.

Turn of the Wheel
Seasonal gatherings to pause, release, and turn toward what is arriving
Death is not only a destination. It lives in every season, every threshold, every thing we release. Turn of the Wheel gathers small groups at the eight Celtic seasonal markers to practice presence, honor what is passing, and open to what is coming. A year of return, together.

Partnerships
Weaving death literacy and doula care into the systems that serve people
Healthcare organizations and communities are often better positioned to support people at end of life than they realize.
I work with teams to integrate death doula services into existing care models in ways that honor the work and meet institutional needs. Together we explore what is possible and build something that lasts.
I'm a trained, non-medical professional who brings emotional and practical expertise to the aging and end-of-life experience. I came to this work through my own reckoning with mortality and now bring death doula training and hospice experience to everyone I serve.
I work with one foot in the mundane and one in the mystery. I help you fill out the forms and then light the candle.
