About

I have been serving as an End-of-Life Doula since 2016. My background is in Biology and Health, and I am a biomedical researcher by training. My specialty is supporting individuals through major life transitions, including aging, grief, menopause, cancer treatment, and the end of life.

I often work early in these processes, offering accompaniment through education, guidance, compassion, deep listening, and thoughtful processing. This work creates the conditions for clarity, grounding, and peace of mind. People come to me when they feel lost and want to regain a sense of agency; when they know they need to plan but are unsure where to begin; or when they need emotional support during a difficult passage. Fear of death is often a central thread, even when death itself is not yet imminent.
