In 2018, my journey on the path to become an end-of-life practitioner began with the sudden death of my brother. After his death, I was drawn to learn how families and the dying could be better cared for and discovered the roles of the death doula and the end-of-life practitioner. This was undeniably a pivot from my 30-year career in public relations.In October 2020, I completed training as an end-of-life doula through the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA). Shortly afterwards, I began serving as a Traditions Health Hospice volunteer. Soon, I was called to dive yet deeper into this role by completing The HeartWay’s 600-hour End-of-Life Practitioner Certification Training Program. This two-level training included in-depth education, client hours, and a supervised internship program. Since then, I have served as a volunteer with The HeartWay and with Salus Hospice. I serve my clients by advocating for their needs, tending to their emotional and spiritual concerns while providing compassionate guidance toward a peaceful transition unto death. We are all unique individuals who approach life and living on our own terms. Why should our approach to death and dying be any different? My offerings compliment curative, palliative or hospice care and can include: companionship, life review, advocacy, accessing resources, assembling end-of-life documents, legacy projects, vigil planning, guided imagery, Yoga Nidra, Reiki, rituals, and obituary writing. Services are available in English, Spanish, and French.
