Dear Readers,

​I dearly love being an end-of-life doula and trainer. Through this work I have met and mentored many wonderful people who offer their gifts and their hearts to others. I am so excited to continue through my new business The Dying Year. You may study, certify, mentor, discuss or share with me, regardless of where you trained or what other organizations you are a part of. I honor you. As more of us do this work, more dying individuals and their families will benefit.

I look forward to a continued relationship with you.
Please let me know how I may help you on your journey.
