I’m an end-of-life doula and funeral celebrant serving individuals and families who want to bring more presence, meaning, and agency to the dying process. I offer non-medical end-of-life care, home funeral guidance, and support for those navigating death and grief in ways that honor their values, culture, and community.

My path to this work began through personal loss and has deepened through study, community service, and time at the bedside. I volunteer with Emberlight: Center for Conscious Living & Dying in Swannanoa, NC, where I also completed end-of-life direct care training. I hold NEDA End of Life Doula and After Death Care Educator Proficiency Badges through the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance. I also serve as a volunteer with the Trauma Intervention Program, offering emotional first aid and practical support to survivors in the immediate aftermath of tragic events. I see this as a path of lifelong learning: continually listening, growing, and finding new ways to serve.

I approach this work with a calm, grounded presence and a deep respect for the sacred nature of dying. My hope is to help families find steadiness, meaning, and connection as they move through this tender threshold together.
