I help overwhelmed loved ones determine what their
dying person’s wishes are, to understand and access their options,
and create a meaningful goodbye.
As an experienced Death Doula and Death Educator in Elora, Ontario, I offer guidance from diagnosis through death and bereavement.
I came to deathcare through experiencing the deaths of a few loved ones. I was left with an intuitive sense that there must be another way to do dying, death and bereavement than the current cultural model. I saw a deep desire to be seen in the experience of those that were dying. Having had similar yearnings in my life, I connected with them exactly where they were in their experience and deeply stayed with them in their humanity with assumptions, judgment or fixing.
This led me to become a Death Doula and start Modern Deathcare. I am committed to deeply seeing and acknowledging my clients. I am dedicated to a legacy of changing our cultural model and reclaiming community-centred deathcare. I believe in encouraging a cultural reengagement in dying, death and bereavement and that death planning leads to a meaningful and transformational experience.
