Death & Transition Doula
In my career as a medical speech-language pathologist, I specialized in working with people with cancer and progressive neurologic conditions. I knew many of my patients would pass away with their conditions if not as a direct result of their medical diagnosis. I would always tell my patients I was there to walk with them up to the end of their diagnosis. But what about after? I felt unprepared to support my patients through their end-of-life transitions. This encouraged me to pursue training as a death doula.
From legacy planning, to the 11-th hour, and everything in between, I am honored to be of service in walking with you through all life’s transitions.
