I am a Life Cycle Doula, which means that I “doula” lovely people both at the beginning and end of life… in birth, and in death. A doula is a non-medical support person, who will be present with those giving birth and laboring in the dying process. I am there not only for the person at the center of this experience, but for their entire circle of care. The role of the doula is to fill the gaps and needs left unmet by doctors, nurses, palliative care workers, midwives, and hospice workers… and loved ones who also need support. This support includes preparation for labor and delivery for an expecting parent, as well as preparation for end-of-life, throughout the dying process, as well as post-death. Doulas do it all!

I am trained by INELDA – the International End-of-
Life Doula Association. I completed my in-person
training in April, 2026. I am a hospice volunteer,
with decades of experience as a volunteer
companion to the elderly.

I am also a Death Educator, specializing in
information-sharing and community outreach
around end-of-life decisions and choices.
