Compassionate, non-medical spiritual care and end-of-life doula support for people and those who love them as they navigate serious illness, dying, grief, remembrance, and the deeper questions of life.
The spiritual dimensions of dying – and the mystery that death places before us – have long been central to my life and work. I accompany people without imposing a particular belief about death or what may lie beyond it.
A lifelong inquiry into truth, identity, and service has gradually taken form in this work. I meet each person as they are, listening for what matters to them and honoring their beliefs, values, relationships, and life story.
Creating a welcoming and nonjudgmental space
Holding space for silence, reflection, spiritual inquiry, and the questions that may arise during illness, dying, grief, and other significant transitions.
Designing legacy projects and vigils while preparing for eventual death with meaning, intention, and care.
Conducting appropriate ritual to address grief through personal loss and other life transitions.
Death belongs to life, as birth does. When dying is allowed to be spoken of and approached with honesty, reverence, and curiosity, there may be more room for people to meet the experience in their own way. I do not offer certainty about what lies beyond the gate. I offer presence before the mystery.
True wisdom is learning to wish that each thing should come to pass as it does.”
– Epictetus
Listening beyond the limits of the spoken word and creating a safe space where you can explore what is present with compassion and without judgment.

Designing legacy projects and vigils, and conducting appropriate ritual to address grief, loss, and the meaningful transitions of life.
Compassionate contemplative care for those seeking peace, meaning, and presence through illness, dying, grief, and life’s deeper transitions.
