This season always makes me think of my Dad—his big appetite for turkey dinner, the way he’d go back for seconds (and thirds!), and his laughter that could fill a whole room. Holidays have a tender way of bringing back the people we wish we could sit beside just one more time.

So this Thanksgiving, this simple, non-religious prayer is for anyone carrying love and loss in the same heart:

Alua’s words invite us to look gently—but honestly—at our mortality. When we face death, life comes into focus: what matters gets louder, and what doesn’t begins to fall away. Thinking about the end clarifies the middle—so we speak love out loud, mend what can be mended, savor ordinary moments, and choose meaning over busyness. Planning for death isn’t morbid; it’s an act of love for ourselves and for the people who will carry our stories forward.

If you feel called to reflect, call me. Together we can explore your values, wishes, legacy, and the practical choices that shape a meaningful life, so that one day your story is met with applause for the way you lived with purpose and love. XOXO.

As autumn leans into winter, the days grow shorter, the air turns colder, and darkness arrives earlier than our hearts are ready for. Many of us feel the winter blues settling in—more tired, a little foggy, not quite ourselves. Grief often slips in with the early dusk, too: memories feel closer, empty chairs feel louder, and sadness can surprise us at the end of the day.

If this is you, you’re not alone—and nothing is “wrong” with you. Try a few tender anchors: morning light on your face, a warm drink between your hands, a short walk, a familiar song, a small ritual of remembrance for the one you miss. Let yourself feel what you feel, and let others help you hold it.

If the weight of winter or grief feels heavy, call me. I’m here with warmth, guidance, and compassionate support. XOXO.

We’ve all been caregivers at some point—caring for a spouse after surgery, an aging parent, or a child who needs a little extra support. I’ve been there too, and I know how deeply love and responsibility can intertwine. Then there are those who go above and beyond, showing up day after day to care for an older adult or a child with health needs—often full-time, often quietly, and always with so much heart.

This National Family Caregivers Month, we honor the 63+ million family caregivers across the U.S. who give billions of hours of unpaid care while juggling work, family, and their own well-being. Their love is steady, their strength remarkable.

If you find yourself with the chance to care for someone you love, embrace it—it’s a meaningful role that can enrich both your lives in ways you’ll never forget. And if the journey ever feels heavy or overwhelming, call me. I’m here for you. XOXO.

La Catrina—Mexico’s elegant skeleton—stands as a timeless symbol of grace in the face of mortality. Once created as social satire, she now represents something far deeper: the rejection of fear itself. With her plumed hat and knowing smile, she reminds us that death is not an ending to dread, but a truth to honor—a continuation of love in another form.

During 𝐃𝐢𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐬, our Mexican brothers and sisters celebrate that truth beautifully. It’s a time to honor those who have departed and to remember that even in death, our loved ones never truly leave us. They live on in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, and the memories we keep alive through every offering, every song, and every candle lit in their name.

As an end-of-life doula, I help families honor and remember their loved ones in ways that reflect their values and legacies—because love never fades, it only transforms.

If you need guidance on how to prepare for the end of life or wish to celebrate the life of someone special, call me. Let’s ensure the memories of those you love continue to illuminate our lives. XOXO

“𝑇𝑜 𝑑𝑖𝑒—𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑑—𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠.” — 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚, Dracula (1931)

Leave it to Dracula to remind us—death doesn’t have to be frightening. It can be, in its own way, glorious: a peaceful release, a return to stillness, and a continuation of love beyond the physical.

This spooky season, while screens overflow with jump scares and grisly endings, I’m reminded that the end of life is rarely that dramatic. It can be soft, dignified, and deeply human—more candlelight than scream, more hand-holding than horror.

If you or someone you love is facing this journey, you don’t have to do it alone. Call me—I’m here with warmth, guidance, and compassionate care.

𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡. It’s a gentle nudge to start the conversations we often put off—about wishes, care, and how we want to be supported as needs change. A little planning now can save our families time, money, and heartache later.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝? Because waiting for a crisis makes hard choices even harder. Planning early lets you: honor care preferences, explore living or in-home care options, get legal documents in order (advance directives, power of attorney), prepare financially, and reduce stress and conflict down the road.

If you or a loved one are navigating the end-of-life journey—or simply ready to talk about what matters most—call me. I’m here to guide you with compassion and clarity. XOXO.

We spend so much of life preparing for adventures we can see—retirements, travels, celebrations—but what about the ultimate unknown? For those of us in the end-of-life, this quote reminds us that the mystery of what lies beyond is part of the spiritual journey. Believing there is something can bring a soft courage to our final chapter.

To honor the late Jane Goodall—a famed conservationist and global advocate for environmental causes—may we carry forward her spirit of wonder.

If you or someone you love is contemplating that adventure, you don’t have to go it alone. I’m here to walk with you—with respect, compassion, and curiosity. Call me!

"It's about focusing on the fight and not the fright." – Robin Roberts

When cancer enters our lives—whether as a patient facing the unknown, a survivor living with its aftershocks, a caregiver giving everything you have, or a loved one standing helplessly on the sidelines—it can feel overwhelming. The fear is real, but so is the strength that rises when we choose to focus on the fight, on love, and on the courage that carries us through.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that no one has to face this journey alone.

If you or someone you love needs support navigating the challenges of illness, grief, or caregiving, call me—I’m here to walk beside you with compassion and care. XOXO.

"𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞." – 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫
Yes, there may be more wrinkles, slower steps, and extra doctor visits—but there’s also wisdom, laughter, and stories that only a life well-lived can give. Each year we’re given is worth celebrating, and those years add depth and richness to the tapestry of our lives.

And when the time comes, a full life can make the transition gentler. Peace often comes easier when we’ve poured our days into love, connection, and meaning. As an end-of-life doula, I believe every chapter—right to the last—deserves to be honored, celebrated, and embraced with gratitude.

If you or a loved one need support navigating this sacred journey, call me—I’m here for you. XOXO.

Nearly everyone who cares for an ill or aging loved one carries grief, though we don’t often recognize it as such. At first, it may look like helping with small things—meals, appointments, or daily tasks. But beneath the surface, there’s a quiet ache: the awareness that life is changing, that the strong parent or partner you once knew is becoming someone different.

This is anticipatory grief—the mourning that begins before loss has even arrived. It creeps in through subtle changes, from fading independence to shifting relationships. It’s a long goodbye, filled with moments of love, exhaustion, and deep sadness. And while we keep showing up with care, we may forget that our own hearts are breaking too.

If you’re feeling this weight, please know you’re not alone. Anticipatory grief is real, and you deserve compassion and support as much as your loved one. Call me—I’m here to walk with you through this journey. XOXO.

Too often, we’re taught to see death as something to fear or fight. But what if, instead, we embraced it as part of life? What if we met it with compassion, humanity, dignity, and even moments of joy? When we choose to care deeply, to ease suffering, and to be fully present with one another, we honor life in its entirety.

If you or someone you love is facing the end-of-life journey, remember you don’t have to walk it alone. Call me—I’m here with compassion, presence, and support. XOXO.

My Why

While I stood at the bedside of my 32 year old niece, staring at the monitors that were keeping her alive, I got this unexplainable calm that came over me. I felt so present, so mindful, so in tune to her and her still body. Her friends and our family had all gathered to be with her. She was dying. Then it happened, her heart stopped and time stood still. I was still, we all were still, fully aware that she had just passed.

It is this experience and a couple more just like it that helped me realize what I am supposed to do with my life. And that is to be with those that are terminally ill and their loved ones during this rich intimate time in one’s life. It’s all about being fully present, finding out what they need, offering an ear or caressing a hand. It’s also about being there for the loved one, the care giver and offering support in ways that will help bring peace of mind. I feel like this work is a culmination of all of my life’s work. I received my MA in Spiritual Psychology, worked as an American Sign Language Interpreter for the deaf for over 30 years and for the past 7 years worked as a Life Coach with our company A Better You, Inc.. I had never heard of an End of Life Doula. I researched it and got certified from what I believe to be the best training-- Doulagivers lead by Suzanne O’Brien Hospice RN. Nothing has ever felt more true to me than to step into this line of work. It is an honor and privilege.
