Grief Specialist Legacy Work Rituals

Offers free consultation

Verified by Autumn

I am a trained end-of-life doula, mediator, after loss consultant, recovering lawyer and female founded small business owner (a lifelong learner at heart). I bring deep compassion, active listening, practical resources and a healthy dose of humor to my work. I split my time between Brooklyn, NY and upstate NY so that I can enjoy both the energy of city life and the stillness of the mountains. My snuggly, but mischievous, pup Penny keeps me company.


My services are curated to empower individuals and families to prepare for logistical and emotional aspects of death, dying, and grief. Depending on your needs, this can include accountability in completing end of life decisions and documents, facilitating family conversations, getting your important documents and digital life organized, and legacy projects. For families in grief, I offer after loss support to help executors and families work through the paperwork and logistics to close the estate.

“When I started working with Marni, I realized I held feelings of avoidance and fear that I had not expected. Marni helped me tackle this process with patience, compassion, specialized knowledge, and flexibility.”
