I am an End-of-Life Doula and Conscious Caregiver, offering gentle companionship, witness, and advocacy during this sacred time. I am deeply committed to the community death care movement, believing it is essential for supporting our aging population in the face of the caregiver crisis in the US. I am an advocate of living and dying consciously and I strive to do that each day.

Before becoming a certified doula, I spent years working as a manager for musicians. I traveled and lived with the communities I served, supporting the birth and transitions of projects and the overall wellness of the community. I was especially passionate about collaborating with artists who used their platform to support social justice campaigns.

I was feeling pulled in another direction and my path led me to Central Mexico, where I immersed myself in community death care, training alongside a team of doulas with the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation for two years. The all-intensive coursework and working in community in Mexico was very transformative. I then moved to mid-Hudson Valley, NY, and helped create The Seventh Sense Care Collective and did hands on care for The Circle Home in Kingston, NY. I am currently a Certified Home Health Aide and Vigil Doula with Hudson Valley Hospice. I am a member of the National Home Funeral Alliance, Omega Home Network, National End of Life Doula Alliance and INELDA.

Over the years in this field, I have been fortunate to train with and learn from doulas and midwives including Felix Chancellor, Wilka Roig, Marisoul Maldonado, Luisa Fernanda Ruiz Montiel, Henry Fersko-Weiss, Deanna Cochran, Anne-Marie Keppel and Sarah Kerr. I am certified in herbal end of life care from Sage Mountain Botanical Sanctuary and have done coursework on creating burial shrouds.

Nature, my dreams, and those I have had the honor to accompany through the dying process have been my greatest teachers.

I currently reside in the Catskill Mountains of NY, serving Woodstock, Mount Tremper and Phoenicia most closely and open to traveling in Ulster and Dutchess Counties. I (still) enjoy music, cooking, aikido, being in nature and with animals, reading, gardening, and writing.
