MOVING THROUGH

I am an End-of-Life Guide and Death Doula.
The heart of this calling is accompanying you and your loved ones through the sacred transition of dying. Quieting the mind's noise so the heart can lead. Offering emotional, spiritual and practical support rooted in ancestral wisdom. Helping families come home to the sacred art of death tending.

As a Deathworker, my deepest intention is to help people step into their own power, to meet the end of life not with dread, but with presence, purpose and even beauty.

We live in a culture that tends to look away from death. But the dying deserve to be seen, honored and held with the same reverence we give to birth. Death is a sacred passage, one that calls for intention, meaning and celebration.

Together, we can prepare for that passage thoughtfully and gently so when the time comes, there is less fear, less uncertainty and far more space for grace, acceptance and connection.

SERVICES

Moving Through is an end-of-life guide or Death Doula. Death Doulas are trained to assist in the non-medical aspects of the dying and their care circles. I can assist in creating a holistic container for all the different aspects of the transitional experience.

In the sacred space, I offer compassionate companionship through this transitional phase. I provide emotional and spiritual support, legacy creation, living funerals and ritual guidance. Embracing the belief that death is a transition, a gateway and not an end, I can help facilitate meaningful observances, fostering an environment of support, love and connection. With each unique passage, not only can we co-create personalized rituals, I can provide assistance with practical arrangements, have hard conversations or simply be a comforting presence.

PORTFOLIO

THE PRACTITIONER

Death has been my teacher since childhood. The loss of my mother at twelve, followed by the deaths of family members, close friends, and my father. Each one unexpected, each one formative.

I find death endlessly compelling. Not morbidly, but with genuine curiosity about what this threshold holds for all of us.

I'm originally from Vancouver, BC and have lived in San Diego, CA since 1999. Outside of my practice, I surf, play competitive pickleball and spontaneously dance as a form of therapy. A lover of architecture and plants, I also love traveling and hold my close friendships and family near.

I host a free monthly Death Cafe discussion group where people are encouraged to come talk openly about death and dying in a safe environment with no agenda (see link below). I am also one of the

co-founders of The Death Network, a space and place designed for the community to come gather around the topic of death and dying (see events link below).

If you’d like to explore how I might support you or your loved ones, I’d welcome a conversation. Even one exchange can be the beginning of empowerment and clarity during life’s most tender moments.

“The grace in dying is in the acceptance of death as part of life, not as its failure. Dying is not the end of wisdom; it’s the seed of it.”
– Stephen Jenkinson, author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul.
