Afterlife by Design
The Quietus of a Life Complete

A little bit about me.

 

My journey with death is personal and I come from a place of great appreciation as a cancer survivor.  I have respect and compassion for anyone receiving a terminal diagnosis and understand the devastation and chaos that it creates.    I've also journeyed with each of my immediate family members losing them one by one.  Two of them I spent the last months of their end of life journey beside, and the other two were instant with little notice and no closure.  My most recent loss was that of my first grandson who only lived 19 days on ECMO and suffered from CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia).   

 

During the past decade I've been honored to serve thousands of families and their loved ones in the hospice realm.  I've learned that each end of life journey is unique and personal and that no two patients or families experience death & dying the same.   I've assisted people of all ages, races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions and genders.    What I know to be true, is that most patients & families don't know what to expect to diminish the chaos and trauma at such a critical time and that's where doula's can assist.

​

Death is a dance, a partnership and we can navigate it with empathy and understanding if we have the right information and assistance.   ​Doula's help alleviate discomfort and empower people with what they need to ensure a peaceful, transitional journey. ​
