My Story
I grew up on the South Shore of Massachusetts, surrounded by a family of loving, down-to-earth, and hilariously salty New Englanders who have always believed in showing up for one another. They opened my eyes to the beauty in each person's unique experience and the good that can come from sincerely caring for one-another. That understanding lives at the heart of my work, guiding me toward compassion and connection.
My approach to end-of-life care is shaped by these values and by the many adventures that lead me here. With decades spent as an artist and early-childhood educator, I became accustomed to noticing and cherishing the small, meaningful moments that often go overlooked. Reiki training has helped me cultivate stillness and presence, while my time
volunteering with a local Hospice and with hospital-based Child Life Specialists deepened my commitment to compassionate care. These experiences eventually led me to become a trained End-of-Life Doula with a special focus on pediatric support.
​
In many ways, walking this path has felt less like a career decision and more like coming home to the work my heart has always known.
​
When I’m not working, I combine my love of art and nature by creating and installing fairy doors along local forest trails. Our dog, Teddy Lobsterpot, loves joining me in the woods and is a great assistant! At home I soak up the chaos of family life with my husband as we attempt to raise our family with the humor, love, and values passed down from our salty ancestors.
As a doula, my goal is to guide you back to yourself and to help make this stage of life feel more human and less medical. I’ll meet you with an open heart and mind, and aim to create space for connection in a way that feels true and meaningful to you.
