I offer non-medical holistic support at any point through life and the end of life journey. This varies and can take the form of emotional, spiritual, and/or practical care and planning. I offer tenderness, dialogue, resources and personal care for individuals and their circle of care.

My goal is to support you in making informed decisions, often within hostile systems, in ways that feel right for you.

As a doula I specialize in supporting your quality of life, exploring and celebrating legacy, encouraging reflection, intimacy, heart healing and connection. All towards whatever a good death means for you.
