Frequently asked questions
Who do you work with?
Individuals, families, creatives, founders, organizations, and institutions navigating death, grief, identity shifts, or major life transitions, including both tangible and intangible loss.
Do I need to be grieving a death to work with you?
No. While death is central to my work, I also support people experiencing non-death related losses such as career changes, business closures, burnout, divorce, or major identity shifts.
what is a death doula?
A death doula is a transition specialist who supports people through profound life changes, including death, dying, and other major endings. While often associated with end-of-life care, death doulas hold space for the emotional, spiritual, cultural, and practical dimensions of transition, recognizing that loss reshapes identity, relationships, and meaning.
What is memorialization work?
Memorialization is the intentional process of honoring, preserving, and giving meaning to a life, loss, or transition. As a service, it goes beyond a single event or ceremony. Memorialization creates lasting containers for memory, story, culture, and legacy, allowing grief to be witnessed and integrated rather than silenced or rushed.
What is funeral celebrancy?
Funeral celebrancy is the practice of creating and leading personalized, non-religious funeral or memorial ceremonies that reflect the values, culture, and story of the person being honored. As a funeral celebrant, I work closely with families and communities to craft ceremonies that feel authentic, meaningful, and rooted in remembrance and individuality.
Are your services religious or spiritual?
My work is not affiliated with any religion. While it honors ancestral wisdom and cultural traditions, it is grounded in respect, consent, and individual belief systems.
what happens after a consultation?
Following your session, you will receive a summary of what we discussed, including key themes, needs, and potential pathways forward. Based on the nature of your transition or loss, you may be invited to continue working together through memorialization, doulaship support, consulting services, or a custom combination of offerings.
If we decide to move forward, we will outline a clear scope of work, timeline, and boundaries so expectations are transparent and supportive.
​
A consultation is not a commitment. It is a container for discernment, allowing both of us to ensure that the work ahead feels grounded, ethical, and intentional before proceeding.
