I believe that by helping people live well, we can also help them die well. My passion lies in educating and assisting individuals in feeling comfortable discussing and being present during the process of death and dying. I strive to normalize these important conversations, believing that embracing the inevitability of death can enhance the quality of our lives and bring us peace.\u00a0<\/p><p>Drawing from my background as a Child and Youth counselor, my work in the school system, and working on a children&#8217;s Mental Health ward, I have supported children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities as well as their families.\u00a0 My experience includes providing respite care, managing a day program, and operating a group home.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I am dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their end- of-life journey, integrating compassion, education, and support every step of the way. By fostering open conversation, providing holistic care, and drawing from my diverse background in caregiving, I strive to empower others to embrace the natural cycle of life and find comfort and dignity in their final chapter.<\/p><p>As an End-of-life Doula, I am honored to be a companion and advocate, guiding individuals towards a peaceful and meaningful
