My foundational goal as a death doula is to give you as much agency as possible during the time that we work together.  Often clients will ask me about my own spirituality and religion, to better understand how I can help them.  It’s a complicated question because I want to make sure to leave space to center the client’s experience and practices – without clouding the conversation with assumptions or beliefs I might bring.  Generally, I share with clients that I have an eclectic spirituality that is deeply rooted in the wonder of creation and the every-day miracles that I witness around me.

There are a lot of life experiences that led me to start my own death doula practice.  Possibly one of the most foundational was my own experience with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis in my early 30s.
