There is a thread in my life which weaves my curiosity around death and noticing people wanting to talk about death and dying. This thread lead me to become an EOLD (End-of-life-doula). Often when people discover I am an EOLD, they feel permission to talk about death. This can come forward in the form of stories that feel like they have been waiting to be spoken. Creating space for expression and reflection is ultimately where my EOLD role begins. 

​

I am drawn to provide this service after working in several roles which brought me into contact with people nearing their end-of-life. One role was as a Better At Home service provider. In that role, I helped the elderly remain in their homes. I often found clients wanting to engage in conversations about dying and death. This ultimately led me to complete the Douglas College training for end-of-life doulas.

​

My end-of-life doula practice is complemented by my study of communication and relationship models at The Haven (Gabriola Island, BC). My close relationship with the land that I work as a farmer both confirms and normalizes the ever-present cycle of life and death. 

​

My role as an EOLD is to provide support and comfort to you and your people. I create a space for exploration of your end-of-life wishes and beliefs. Through this exploration, many people find wisdom from their lives and opportunities for self-actualization. This process can also help you establish you're legacies. 

 

I am a market farmer and hold deep values that are rooted in community. I enjoy the simple side of life in my time off, preserving food, attending community events and exploring different art practises.
