My Mission

As a counselor, spiritual coach, and sacred passage end-of-life doula, it is my mission to help facilitate spiritual and emotional healing, conscious living in the midst of change, and a more gentle passage from life. In addition to providing one-on-one emotional and spiritual support for individuals and families who are transitioning through major events in their or from one life to the next, I offer resources that helps people understand and make active choices about end-of-life and after-death care. Through “Best Three Months Life Coaching with individuals, families, and community/religious/medical organizations, I help others focus on what is most important in life in order to make prioritize their life accordingly.
