I am the founder of New Ancestor Doula Services, providing end-of-life services and committed to assisting in the birthing of new ancestors with compassion, empathy, and intention. My journey into deathwork began with the profound experience of my grandmother's illness and then her passing in 2005. I had to take the helm of planning her care leading up to her death, and through the funeral and beyond, in order to allow for my mother to properly grieve. My own mother died in 2011, and that experience turned my world upside down but taught me so much about the process and ritual of dying well. These events have deeply shaped my approach to end-of-life care.

A graduate of the Going With Grace End of Life Training program, created by Alua Arthur, I have developed a practice that emphasizes dignity, compassion, and intentional presence at the end of life.

My goal is to facilitate good deaths that allow individuals to transition surrounded by loved ones, ensuring that every person I serve is ushered into their next existence with the utmost respect and care. For those left behind, I hope to assist and support in the ways best suited for the circumstance. At New Ancestor Doula Services, we believe in the sacred task of birthing new ancestors, and I am dedicated to providing this vital support to families during one of their most pivotal moments.
