Transforming the experience of loss into an opportunity for profound connection, healing, and spiritual growth.
My Approach
Compassionate Support for Your Soul Animal’s End-of-Life Journey
The duality in our world is never more poignant and unavoidable than in dying. The death of our beloved animals is both a challenging and sacred journey. I feel privileged to have lived through it, which may sound shocking! I was incredibly fortunate to have someone guide me through the dying process on both a spiritual and a tangible physical level. I hope to be that person for you. As I walked the path, I found many answers about life and death that came from the wisdom of my soul dog as she was dying. With the time we had left, we worked to reconnect, and our relationship deepened even more.
I understand that navigating their end-of-life journey as their person, you are also their caretaker and advocate, and you share a profound and deep bond. They provide us with the purest and most unconditional love, after all. This journey can feel emotional, overwhelming and often isolating. Our culture and society separate life from death, the living from the dying, and we aren't typically provided with a good map to navigate or understand death. Death is hard, but it doesn't have to be nearly as hard as our current culture makes it.
The good news is you don't have to go through it alone, and the better quality support you have while going through the end-of-life journey, the better you are able to move through their dying and experience grief. Through my experiences, I have learned that our animals often come into our lives with many lessons to teach us, including learning how to die. The heartbreaking reality is that we will often outlive our animals, but the beauty in this is that we can learn so much from them if we are open to it. I am here to help you find glimmers and opportunities for heart healing through the painful and emotional end-of-life journeys with your animals.
Death can be a great teacher, where we truly learn what it means to live fully.
I am here as your doula, offering a mix of practical and spiritual guidance. Providing a supportive and safe container for all that you will come to experience throughout their death and your grief. You will always remain in the driver's seat. I am here to listen and to empower you to make choices and decisions that feel most aligned with you so that you can meet death more prepared.
