Presence & Passage

I'm an end-of-life doula, grief coach and communications professional. I help individuals, families and organizations navigate serious illness, caregiving, grief and end-of-life experiences with more clarity and less fear. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: people deserve honest conversations, compassionate support and someone willing to be present with them through life's most difficult transitions. For more than twenty years, I led communications for global organizations — including Disney Parks around the world — helping executives and employees communicate through change, crisis and uncertainty. Today, I bring that same approach to a different setting. Whether I'm sitting beside someone facing a serious diagnosis, facilitating a family conversation or helping a manager support a grieving employee, I believe thoughtful communication and steady presence can make even the hardest moments feel a little less overwhelming. Presence & Passage brings together my professional experience, specialized training and personal understanding of grief to help people navigate life's most profound transitions with honesty and compassion.

Presence & Passage offers grounded, nonmedical support through end-of-life and the experiences surrounding it. The work is not about fixing, interpreting, or directing. It is about helping people feel more informed, supported, and less alone in what is happening.
