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. 

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. 

The dying deserve to be seen, honored and held with the same reverence we give to birth. 

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.

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'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.

 

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.
