About

I began my career in Nursing, where I spent years walking beside people through life’s most sacred moments. In Labor and Delivery, I witnessed the miracle of new life. Later, as a Hospice Nurse, I discovered the equally profound sacredness of life’s final chapter. Families taught me what it meant to show up fully—with tenderness, patience, and love—as their loved ones approached the end of life.
Those experiences changed me. I realized that while our culture carefully prepares for the arrival of a child, we rarely prepare for the end of life—something we will all experience. Yet, just like birth, death is not only a medical event but a deeply human one, deserving of presence, planning, and reverence.

Today, as an End-of-Life Doula, I am honored to provide that time and support. My role is to guide individuals and families with compassion—helping them navigate the journey of aging and dying with dignity, comfort, and love. I believe that end-of-life, like birth, is sacred, and it is my greatest privilege to walk with others through this final passage.

I received my initial Doula education, training and certification from Doulagivers. I am NEDA Proficient and INELDA (International End -of-Life Doula Association) Certification is in progress.
