Death Doula Support
Sacred Presence for Life's Most Tender Crossings
Death asks us to slow down.
It invites us into conversations we often avoid, emotions we don't always know how to hold, and moments that deserve far more presence than our culture often allows.
As a death doula, I offer compassionate, non-medical support for individuals, families, and caregivers navigating the end of life, grief, and the sacred threshold between. My role is not to direct your journey, but to walk beside you; offering steady presence, emotional support, practical guidance, and spiritual care that honors your beliefs, values, and unique way of moving through this season.
Whether you are preparing for an expected death, navigating a terminal diagnosis, supporting someone you love, or finding your footing after a loss, you do not have to carry it alone.
My work is rooted in the belief that death is not something to be rushed or feared, but a profound transition worthy of dignity, tenderness, and care.
Work With Me
Support is available virtually and in person throughout the Denver metro area, with travel available for select end-of-life vigils and ceremonies.
I welcome individuals, families, caregivers, and communities of every background, identity, and spiritual tradition.
If you're wondering whether this support is right for you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. Together, we'll explore what feels most supportive for you or your loved one.
Sliding-scale pricing and a limited number of trade opportunities are available because I believe everyone deserves compassionate support during life's most meaningful transitions.
How I Can Support You
Every family is different, and no two experiences of dying or grief look the same. Together, we create support that meets your unique needs.
Services may include:
End-of-life planning and compassionate guidance
Emotional and spiritual support for individuals, families, and caregivers
13th-hour vigil sitting and bedside companionship
Psychopomp support and sacred presence during transition
Rituals and ceremonies before or after death

Abortion and miscarriage support
Grief integration sessions after loss
Nourishment and practical guidance for loved ones after death
Energy work to support nervous system regulation and emotional processing
Guidance and accompaniment for Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) and Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) through my work with the Denver Deathcare Collective
My approach is collaborative and deeply personalized, honoring your family's cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs, and personal wishes.
Legacy Work: Food Storytelling & Recipe Recovery
Some of our deepest memories live in the kitchen.
The recipes we inherit carry far more than ingredients—they hold stories of family, celebration, resilience, culture, and love.
Legacy work through food storytelling preserves these memories so they can continue nourishing future generations.
Together we may:
Record stories behind cherished family recipes
Capture memories through guided storytelling sessions
Create heirloom family cookbooks or keepsake collections
Gather recipes and reflections from multiple family members
Recreate beloved dishes when recipes have been lost or were never written down
Recipe Recovery combines practical cooking knowledge with curiosity and intuition to recreate meals that might otherwise disappear with the person who made them.
This work keeps loved ones present around the table, allowing their stories to continue being shared for generations.
Pet End-of-Life Doula Support
Our animals are family.
The grief of losing a beloved companion is profound, yet it is often overlooked or minimized. Pet doula support offers compassionate, non-medical care that honors both your pet's transition and the bond you share.
Support may include:
End-of-life planning and decision-making support
Conversations around euthanasia and available care options
Advance care planning
Energy work for pets
Bedside companionship and emotional support
Personalized rituals and memorial ceremonies
Grief support for individuals and families
Guidance in memorializing your companion in meaningful ways
My goal is to help create an experience rooted in comfort, dignity, love, and peace; for both you and your animal.
Why This Work Matters
My journey into death care began at the age of eight, when I witnessed my grandfather’s final days at home. Surrounded by love and care, his passing felt natural and sacred. I remember quietly witnessing spirits in the room tending to him—an experience I couldn’t explain then, but now understand as my first glimpse into the sacred, unseen world that accompanies death. This early encounter shaped my foundational belief that death can be sacred, guided, and filled with grace.
Years later, I watched my best friend navigate the sudden death of her mother with little support, forced to set aside her grief to manage the logistics of loss. Witnessing this pain and the absence of a supportive container for mourning. This ignited a deep and enduring call within myself to learn how to hold space for both the dying and those left behind, with compassion, reverence, and steady presence.
I have personally walked the path of loss, identity unraveling, and unbecoming.. I’ve lost myself and found my way back again. My work is not to lead you but to walk beside you. To listen deeply. To honor what is sacred. And to remind you that you are not alone.
Whether you're facing the death of a loved one, the unraveling of who you once were, or a quiet ache to return to yourself you deserve space to feel, to be witnessed, and to be held.
