San Diego Death Doula Services
As your certified death doula, I provide emotional, practical, and spiritual support to individuals and families as they navigate life’s final transitions. Through presence, advocacy, and ritual, I help bring meaning, peace, and dignity to the dying process.
Coordination of Care
When care needs become complex, clear coordination eases the stress. I collaborate with families, hospice teams, and caregivers to align decisions and bring calm to the process.
“We can spend our lives fretting about our deaths, or we can use our brief time to sink deeper into the experience of being human, for all it entails. The good, the tricky, the impermanent. … When we live in relationship to our mortality, it adds direction to our actions, truth to our words, rapture to our experience, authenticity to our being, and maybe pounds to our hips.”
