I’m so grateful for my clients taking the time to write their experience of our time together.

It’s not always easy to describe with words what can happen when we are in the pocket of supporting people through deep transformation or in the process of ritual and ceremony creation. I’m so grateful and hopeful that this language paints the picture for what is possible.

I took my first end-of-life doula course in 2018.
Since then, I’ve done more trainings, started working with clients, left a career to pursue doula work full-time, practiced in Canada and New York, volunteered in hospice, run events, and learned a lot along the way.

Those are the broad strokes.

In the past two months, I’ve had nearly a dozen people ask to meet for coffee to pick my brain about my journey into this work.
I love talking about it. I just don’t have time for a dozen coffees. So instead, I’m opening it up.
I’m hosting a couple of Ask Me Anything events where you can ask me about my path into end-of-life doula work, what I’ve learned, what surprised me, the challenges, questions around trainings, or even client scenarios you might be navigating as a new doula. Happy to give my *opinions*!

Join me September 17th or 23rd to Ask Me Anything! Links in bio

On August 5th, 2026, New York’s end-of-life care options officially expanded, legalizing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).

This is brand new and still very much in process, despite being legal. There are many questions; about guardrails, access, process, and of course, the emotional and psychological considerations for those considering that type of care, and the people who love them.

Whether you’re living with illness or caring for someone who is, or want to be a support for those in the future, knowledge is power!

Join us Wednesday, September 30th from 7:30pm-8:30PM for an online information session on MAID in New York. Brought to you in collaboration with Compassion and Choices who has been leading the advocacy for access to this important and necessary legislation.

Free! Online! Register in bio.

I’m grateful to Alexandra Schwartz of The New Yorker The New Yorker for spending time with the complexity and vastness of end-of-life doula work.

There’s been a decent amount of press about our growing field lately, much of it focused on celebrities who are interested in the work. This piece is different. It follows the day-to-day experience of client work and explores what’s possible when doulas serve and affirm life and love during one of our greatest transitions. It shows family dynamics, questions that come with approaching death, and the care and consideration doulas put into their roles.

Seeing our work reflected in The New Yorker also got me thinking about what this moment means for doula work—and for our relationship to death, care, change, and mortality. There’s a lot to say about where the field is going and why this work matters. Sharing some of it here, swipe through.

Big shoutout and gratitude to my fellow doulas featured in the piece, especially Virginia Chang, my mentor, and Emma Acker at All’s Well Initiative who works to bring nyc doulas together.

I’ve linked the pdf in my bio so everyone can access and see me quoted as saying “f**king,” (and other things) in The New Yorker. Sorry mom! 😂🙄🙃 🤷‍♀️

I’m working on sharing more about my practice and am so grateful to my clients for trusting me with their stories and for sharing their experiences of our time together.

Ruth was an incredible person, and I was deeply moved by her story—a story I will never forget. It was a privilege to create a ritual that honored her and the full life she lived.

We all go through so much throughout our lives! Being able to facilitate the ritual bathing and shrouding for Sarah and her family, and to offer them a final act of care, presence, and witnessing of Ruth was a deep honor.

I’m grateful to have been trusted with this work and to have had the opportunity to care for Ruth, and her family in this way.
