About Me

I came to this work through personal experiences with death and dying within my own family. As a child, I was often prevented from being at the bedside during serious illness and death, which left lasting questions about what it means to die well. Later, after the passing of a beloved uncle, those questions resurfaced and prompted me to seek both practical training and reflective, values-based education around end-of-life care. Along the way, I learned from clergy, nurses, physicians, and hospice professionals, each offering different perspectives on what a good death can look like.

Through this process, I began to see meaningful ways to support my family and community by helping others become better informed and more at ease discussing death, dying, and memorialization.

My approach is shaped by completed training and certification in end-of-life doula work and funeral celebrancy, as well as ongoing study in advanced care planning and legacy work. I continue to pursue education in this field to shape a thoughtful, grounded practice that contributes to clearer conversations, informed choices, and more intentional preparation around the end of life.
