My death doula practice centers these sacred groups:
Those who have lost someone to suicide.
Those who experience suicidal ideation or have survived an attempt.
Those who are exposed to death in the line of duty.
If you’ve been told that you are too much, too intense, too hard to help...
please know that’s not true here.
You are worthy of care.
You don’t need to perform resilience or promise recovery.
Come as you are, and I will be with you.
What makes this practice different:
​​
My approach is not clinical, diagnostic, or corrective. It is grounded in the belief that your relationship with life and death is uniquely yours and deserving of respect.
For years, I worked in systems meant to "help" people in crisis, only to witness how often these institutions fail to honor the dignity and autonomy of my neighbors. Again and again, I witness people experiencing the impacts of suicide being subjected to fear, punishment, or erasure, rather than care.
As someone who has danced with death on more than one occasion, lost friends to their darkest moments, and questioned what it means to want to live; I offer my presence as someone who knows the terrain. ​
I’m here to provide space for the tenderness, rage, numbness, and confusion, that so often accompany these experiences. Together we will work to integrate and alchemize the pain.
You are not a burden. I'm not afraid to sit in the shadows with you. I believe the shadows are sacred.
My Commitments
Create Sanctuary
You deserve support that respects your choices. I will never call emergency services without your consent. I reject carceral responses to distress.
Stay Present with Pain
Your story does not need to be cleaned up, resolved, or made more comfortable for others. I hold space for your story exactly as it is.
Center Meaning
There are no metrics, checklists, or assessments here. You will be met with reverence as we work to build mutual trust through intuitive care.
