I believe everyone deserves a good death, and their voice should be heard, even when they can no longer speak. As a death doula, I have the privilege of sitting with those facing death, asking questions, and listening to their life stories and end-of-life wishes. My role is to offer support by listening to the person, their loved ones, and their care team.

I believe that the end of life deserves as much beauty, care, and respect as the beginning. After losing my two baby girls, Lydia Marie and Ella Ruth, to premature birth, I struggled to find the support I needed to process my grief. Now, I’m passionate about providing that kind of care to others. I offer specialized support for infant and pregnancy loss, helping families navigate their grief with compassion and understanding.​​​​​​​​​​​
