I am a certified Death Doula and consider it a privilege to stand in a traditional role of holding space for both the individual preparing for their transition as well as holding space for their loved ones. This includes the process that takes place before and in the wake of transition, holding sacred all that is moving in, as, and through everyone involved. Having served as a volunteer with The Twilight Brigade ~ Compassion in Action at the VA Hospital in Los Angeles sitting at the bedside of the terminally ill for 7 years, co-creating a container for the Spirit’s release and the body’s last breath for both my mother and my father, and navigating my own stage IV cancer diagnosis without western medicine or conventional treatment since 2009, I cherish the opportunity to be present with the wonder, magic, and medicine of a Beloved’s journey home.
