“What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
– Helen Keller
About
Death is a universal truth and certainty for all living beings, but we don’t have to go through it alone.
Death Doulas compassionately support and guide a person who is transitioning to death while also providing caring and supportive help to their loved ones through a holistic non-medical approach. This support can include any and all parts of the dying process: before, during, and after.
I became a death doula and created Soulular Transitions as a way to provide connection, comfort, and understanding, rather than the fear we often associate with the process of death and dying. My purpose is to facilitate the shift not only from the physical to the spiritual as one dies, but to also help embrace the beauty and peace of all transitions. Death and loss are not just physical, they’re also an emotional and spiritual experience felt deep within our cells and our souls, or as I like to say, we feel it at a soulular level.
I believe that death is experienced beyond the physical end of life and extends into other areas of loss such as divorce, job loss, the end of a long-term friendship, and numerous other losses that affect who we are. I refer to these events as “abstract death” and these types of death can be just as difficult to navigate as a physical loss of life.
Together we will work to explore all options available to tailor your end-of-life (or other loss) experience to what meets your needs and supports your decisions. I will be your advocate and offer you guidance, information, and resources as needed. I am committed to supporting ALL individuals and their loved ones in an inclusive, honoring, and non-judgmental way that respects all relationships and identities. My goal is for everyone in my care to feel seen and respected for who they are.
