End-of-Life Doula

About

My calling to end-of-life work began with supporting my father through his dying process, an experience that profoundly shaped my heart and path. Through that journey, I felt called to help others find comfort, safety, and loving presence during one of life’s most tender transitions.

I have been offering informal end-of-life support since 2020 and have volunteered with hospice for the past year. Since July 2025, I have been working in a more formal setting. I completed the Going with Grace Death Doula training and am currently working toward my NEDA End-of-Life Proficiency Badge.

I offer emotional support, bedside presence and companionship, legacy projects, and end-of-life planning for both individuals and families. My presence is gentle, grounded, intuitive, and deeply compassionate. I serve clients in San Diego County in homes, hospitals, hospice, care facilities, and virtually. I feel especially honored to support elders and LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Sliding scale options are available.
