As an end-of-life doula, humanist, and proud ally, I offer a steady, calming presence to individuals, families, and chosen families navigating a human being's final and most profound journey. My practice is deeply rooted in humanist values—meaning I center my approach according to your unique life, personal philosophy, and dignity. Whether you are secular, spiritual, or somewhere in between, my focus is honoring the story you’ve lived without judgment or dogma. As an active LGBTQ+ ally, I provide fully affirming, safe space for all gender identities, sexual orientations, and chosen family structures. No scripts and no assumptions; just steady support tailored entirely to your needs. From advance planning and legacy projects to bedside vigil and emotional support, I am here to help you embark on this chapter with clarity, peace, and total authenticity.


Honoring every story; guiding every step. This is our commitment to you. Advocacy is only one part of the role of a death doula. It must be accompanied by reverence for the individual's life and identity and informed by what they want this journey to look like.

What should clients know about your pricing(e.g., discounts, fees, packages)?

Pricing & Service Options Support at the end of life isn't one-size-fits-all. I offer structured planning packages for comprehensive guidance, as well as bespoke, a-la-carte services (such as hourly bedside support, overnight vigils, and individual planning sessions) that can be tailored entirely to your family's needs. Accessibility & Sliding Scale I am committed to making this care accessible. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available each month for those who qualify. Please don't hesitate to inquire about these options during our initial consultation.

What is your typical process for working with a new client?

What to Expect When Working with Me My goal is to make getting support as gentle and straightforward as possible: Connect: We begin with a free 30-minute discovery call to discuss what support looks like for you and ensure we’re a good match. Plan: Next, we meet for a thorough planning session to map out your goals—whether that involves advance planning, legacy work, or bedside support—and build either a tailored bespoke agreement or a standard package. Support: From there, we work together step-by-step. I serve as your advocate, sounding board, and practical support system, adapting our sessions as your needs evolve. Care: Throughout the process, I remain a steady, non-judgmental presence for both you and your chosen family, leading up to and following the end-of-life transition.
