My Heart as an End-of-Life Doula
My mission is to offer emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical support to those nearing the end of life and their caregivers. I strive to ease the discomfort and fear surrounding death, inviting curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful exploration of life’s final chapter. Through creating safe and supportive spaces, I help individuals and families navigate end-of-life decisions, find solace in their grief, and honor loved ones in deeply personal ways. I specialize in providing support for unique and challenging situations, including end-stage cancer journeys, families with children, and sole child caregivers. While these are my areas of focus, I am deeply committed to honoring and supporting everyone I work with, ensuring each person feels seen, valued, and cared for during this profound time.

As an INELDA trained Death Doula, I am dedicated to being a steadfast companion during this delicate chapter of life.
