Navigating death can be overwhelming and isolating

I am here to accompany you through it all.

Full spectrum support before, during, and after death

In a death-phobic and distracted society, many have lost touch with the time honored rituals and Earth-rooted death rites that once guided our ancestors.

Humans have been dying in community and with the Earth for thousands of years. I believe that we each possess intrinsic knowledge about both how to die and how to care for the dying. Working together, we will begin to gather the sacred wisdom within.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Death doulas provide non-clinical support to individuals and families before, during, and after the dying process. This includes companionship, advocacy, bedside presence, memorial planning, and more.

    Our scope mirrors that of a birth doula, but at the end of life. As non-clinical providers, death doulas collaborate with hospice and healthcare teams to provide hoslitic, personalized care that honors the relational, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of dying.

  • My role complements hospice, never replaces it.

    Hospice provides essential end of life care — but time, staffing, and institutional constraints can leave families needing more support.

    As a doula, I tend to all the spiritual, practical, and interpersonal aspects of dying that fall beyond the clinical scope. This work is intensely patient-centered, unfolding in close collaboration with hospice teams and always acting as ancillary support to existing medical care.

  • My practice is non-denominational and inclusive. I work with people of all faiths, no faith, and everything in between.

    You are welcome just as you are.

  • I offer support in two formats:

    • Virtual Services — available to families and individuals worldwide

    • In Person Services — I am based in Durango, Colorado and offer in-person end of life doula services throughout the Four Corners region.

    • Santa Fe, New Mexico
