After a long corporate career, I felt called to this work to engage in a quieter, deeper way. Becoming an end-of-life doula has been a natural expression of my desire to offer calm presence, compassion, and companionship to people as they navigate one of life’s most profound transitions. I believe that when we are given space to approach dying with honesty and support, it can become less overwhelming and more deeply human.

My work is grounded in both practical preparation and heartfelt presence. I offer education, advance care planning, and guidance with end-of-life preparations, while also walking alongside people and families as they explore what matters most to them during this time.

My own spiritual path includes Buddhism, meditation, and core shamanic training, and these experiences have shaped the way I listen and hold space. At the same time, I honor each person’s beliefs, traditions, and preferences, and I support people of all backgrounds, faiths, and orientations without agenda or assumption.

I live in Boulder, Colorado, with my husband, and I find nourishment in time outdoors and creating art. I hope to help create a more open and compassionate relationship with death in our culture—one that allows people not only to prepare for the end of life, but also to reflect more deeply on how they want to live now.
