All trainings and discussions are online via zoom.

The number one way to support my work is to become a patron via the Patreon membership platform. Here you can make a small monthly payment and receive many benefits, depending on your level of support, such as:
  • Links to discussions
  • Frequent postings
  • Discounts on events and classes
  • Private networking and mentoring sessions with me or other end-of-life doulas
I offer scholarships and payment plans to so many students. Those who can offer support through becoming a patron help me continue to do so, as well as bring in expert guest speakers and continue my learning. I deeply respect the innate wisdom of each individual and I attempt to help us all tap into our cultural roots of compassion and caring for each other.
