Support Planning

I’ve been married and living in Colorado for 37 years, including the past 27 in Fort Collins and Timnath. A California-raised girl at heart, my soul still belongs to the sea and the calm and strength it brings. I live with my husband and our sheepadoodle, Hellie, and I’m also the very proud mom of three adult children.

 

For over a decade, my work with the Better Business Bureau Foundation has been grounded in trust, transparency, and ethics. Those same values now inform how I support individuals and families through end-of-life planning, caregiving, and loss.

​

That foundation has led me here to my next chapter in death care, where I’m passionate about normalizing conversations around death and dying. Through personalized education, planning, and compassionate presence, I support and guide individuals and families in preparing for a good death with intention and care. This is the work that feels most true to me ~ the work I am meant to do.

My path to becoming a death doula

training for compassionate
end-of-life care

My path to becoming a death doula began with a desire to better understand death and, in doing so, deepen my capacity for presence, clarity, and meaningful living.

 

In 2024, I completed the Going with Grace End-of-Life Training Program, founded by Alua Arthur, one of the leading voices in the modern death-positive movement. Inspired to continue growing my skills, I joined Farewell Fellowship, an intimate mentorship program led by Jade Adgate.  As part of a six-doula cohort,  I engaged in advanced study, practical skill-building, and thoughtful exploration of how to ethically and compassionately serve individuals and families navigating end-of-life experiences.

 

I am also NEDA Proficiency Certified through the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance, reflecting nationally recognized standards of training, ethics, and professional accountability, and I am insured and registered with the State of Colorado in support of a professional, ethical, and trustworthy practice.

 

Together, these experiences continue to shape a practice grounded in:

  • Structured, informed guidance

  • Clear boundaries and professional integrity

  • Ongoing education and ethical practice

  • Respect for all people, your autonomy and values
