- I offer compassionate support and guidance during end-of-life transitions. I specialize in legacy work for children and adults, memorial planning, and grief support for all ages. My extensive experience with children, combined with my doula training, makes me uniquely qualified to support grieving children as well as children with terminal diagnoses and their families.
