Conscious Aging, Dying, & Grieving
–
Weaving an awareness and acceptance of impermanence into our everyday lives teaches us the value and beauty of life.
As an end of life doula and grief counselor, I support individuals and their families through conscious aging, dying, and grieving. This work can begin at any age, any stage of prognosis, at any time past or before an anticipated loss, and can serve to create meaningful connections and remembrance rituals that connect us and help us honor that which we have been separated from.
Somatic & Spiritual Healing
–
The healing of our world depends on your courage and willingness to heal yourself.
The investments you make into your own healing and health ripple outward through your family, community, and the larger collective in significant ways.
Work with me to heal your subconscious and emotional mind, your energy and physical body, your relationship with Spirit & your connection to your unique soul.

For grievers
–
Grief is a natural response to loss and loss is a part of all change. Even when we get what we want, there is loss. Even when we choose something really good for ourselves, there is also loss. Making time to feel the reality of the change and allow the sadness, anger, dissapointment to take up space and have a voice, is essential to our individual and relational healing. This healing is ongoing, it’s a way of tending to ourselves and each other.
Grief is so often associated with death, but there is grief woven into so many life experiences. The grief of impermanence, the grief for what’s happening globally, eco grief, grief for the places we experience shame, grief for our ancestors and decendants, grief for the harm we’ve done to others, grief for our unmet expectations and unrealized dreams.
I offer a uniquely customize care package for each client I work with. This may includ somatic, spiritual, and soul care as well as ritual design, altar making, and more.
Body Work & Energy Work
Body Work & Craniosacral (CST)
–
Massage and Craniosacral therapy offer a deep relaxation and restoration that our bodies need to return to homeostatis and to heal. These modalities have many benefits such as reducing pain, improving sleep and circulation, boosting immune function and digestion, and reducing stress and anxiety. Massage & CST can support longer/ deeper sleep and can improve mood.
Energy Work - Reiki
–
Physical pain and discomfort can often be a result of energetic imbalance and stagnation. Reiki supports the energy body to release these restrictions and boost overall health and performance. Spiritual pain often takes the form of physical symptoms, and so addressing the core imbalance can be a powerful way to restore harmony and wellbeing.
