About Me
how the hell did I get here?
Let’s Start With The End
Life threw me some real curveballs - losing my best friend, her mother, my grandmother, and a cherished partner, all in just three years. It was like a wrecking ball to my world, leaving me sifting through the emotional debris, searching for meaning.
Grief: The Brutal Teacher
Let's be real: grief is a beast. It's messy, it's raw, and it hits you like a freight train. But here's the thing – it's also a master storyteller. My grief yanked me out of my shell, pushing me onto a stage with a mic in hand, doing grief-centric stand-up comedy. Who knew? This journey wasn't just about laughs; it led me to dive deep into the world of death and grief, earning a diploma in Creative Communications along the way.
A Chance to Make Change
Since 2019, I've been on a mission. A mission to learn, to teach, and to guide. I'm all about helping those wrestling with grief and those staring down their final days. It's about changing the narrative, educating communities, and offering a new perspective on support and understanding.
Holding Space + Building Sanctuary
I've learned one crucial lesson: the power of a safe space. A space where emotions can flow freely, without judgment, without the ticking of the clock. It's about being there, really being there, for the living, the dying, and those navigating the aftermath of loss.
Grace, Grit, and a Giggle
n everything I do, I bring a mix of grace, humor, and a dash of hope. I'm a believer in the endless journey of learning, sharing, and experiencing. We're all in this human saga together – a janky tapestry of joy, pain, and beautifully imperfect moments.
I’m here to be you friend at the end.
And what the hell do i do?
Well, I’m a Death Doula. But there are many other names for this role. Grief Coach, Death Walker, Psychopomp, Death Midwife, and so forth. People like me guide people through the dying and grieving process. But our role extends beyond just helping the sick. We assist the young and healthy in preparing for the future, ensuring their affairs are in order and their wishes are known. We provide companionship for the elderly, organize living funerals, offer respite care, educate on burial options, and even take care of a body.
Our practice can be as narrow or as broad as you can imagine.
My passion lies in grief support. I’m your personal ally in the rollercoaster of emotions that come with loss. I’m like a trusted friend and an emotional superhero rolled into one. With guidance and compassionate support, I’ll help you navigate the challenging terrain of grief, providing a safe space to heal, grow, and find your strength. When we have the right supports at our disposal, grief doesn’t have to be an isolating journey. It can be transformative and help us heal, build resiliency and community, find hope, and live the best lives possible.
