Death Doulas
With a Master of Arts in Culture & Spirituality, I bring a holistic perspective to my work as a doula, as well as to weddings, funerals and other services where people mark important moments with ritual and celebration.
I am a meditation instructor and death doula specializing in contemplative approaches to mortality and grief. As a doula, my role is to support individuals and their loved ones through the various phases of the end of life process. I am available to support everyone involved in the dying process with embodied approaches to integrating loss and transformation. Meditation and deep listening are integrated into all aspects of my work.
Palliative care social worker and death doula available for consultation and collaboration
I am a Death Doula committed to making death education a part of our community conversation. Having had the honor of holding space at the bedside of three family members as they took their last breaths, I was awestruck to the core by the experience of death.
My experiences as a combat veteran have shaped my opinions and thoughts on death and morality. I truly believe that we are not promised the next breath and living in the now, with a healthy understanding of the dying process, is the best way to prepare for our own end.
I am a death doula and yoga teacher. As part of my deathcare service, I hold grief support groups, as well as workshops that look at African American grief and death rituals. I also offer private yoga classes to support people working through challenging emotions.
My path into deathcare has been shaped by both lived experiences and formal training. Blending my background in social work with integrative and creative modalities like therapeutic horticulture, herbalism, breath and movement practices, and ritual, I provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support for dying, grief, and loss. Whether companioning someone at the end of life, teaching chair yoga to caregivers, or leading grief gardening workshops, I strive to hold a gentle and grounded space for finding our way through the hard stuff of life.
