Verified by Autumn

I've been doing ceremonies and providing spiritual care years before I was officially ordained in 2016. I am passionate about normalizing death and conversations about death in our culture, so I host Death Cafés. I've had a near-death experience, and teach seminary students how to be with dying and death. Knowing that can be a comfort for some clients and their families.


I've provided spiritual care in a hospital setting as well as in the home. I never promote my own spiritual beliefs. I listen deeply, hold space with sacred intent and compassion, and speak truthfully. The dying person is my primary focus. An unburdened, peaceful death, is the best possible outcome one can hope for. When both sorrow and joy can co-exist at the end, might be a good measure of success.
